Ief Spincemaille creates works that seek a lively interaction with the spectator or a personal sensory experience. They can be worn, experienced or used, as semi-instruments.

He is guided by a pre-scientific sense of wonder at everyday natural phenomena that surround us yet surpass our understanding—time, light, the sky, the falling of night... He explores their sublimity and elusiveness, and the effects of these on our perception of reality and on feelings of alienation and derealisation.

His work unfolds both within museums and in public or social contexts, seeking new ways of relating to the public and the world, and exploring the tensions where art and life meet.

All works on this website are arranged in three series: Index 1, 2 and 3.

His atelier is based in Leuven (Ateliers Minnoye) and Brussels (Objects with Narratives – OWN Ateliers). 

In 2010, Kurt D'Haeseleer and Spincemaille founded Werktank, an organization dedicated to new and old media art.  www.werktank.org
