A.PASS end-presentation, 29th-39th of september, Meyboom, Brussels
The presentation was part of DEMOLITION DAMAGE DEVIATION DESIRE, a public presentation which marks the end of the trajectory at a.pass and invites the researchers to share their modes of doing, seeing and making artist research public after following the year-long postgraduate program. amy pickles (UK) is an artist and educator working on colonial infrastructures embedded within everyday technologies. She curated and organised, with Chloë Janssens and Túlio Rosa, a gathering titled On Coloniality. Gary Farrelly (IE) is a visual artist researching on infrastructure, bureaucracy and the architectures of power. A big part of his work is in collaboration with German artist Chris Dreier with the ongoing project Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence. Jimena Pérez Salerno (AR) is a choreographer and dancer researching on the concept of expanded choreography as a critical modality for political awareness reflecting on linear time and productive behavior. Inga Gerner Nielsen (DK) is a performing artist with a background in sociology, researching immersive performance as an interstice of poetry and institutional critique.
With singular questions, processes and approaches, the four researches intersect and expand concerns in Demolition, Damage, Deviation, Desire by bridging intimacy and politics in very different ways. Their practices extend from the lecture performance to performative installation, drawing, crossing ritual making and never ending warmups, to research, share and exchange – together with the audience – questions that are embedded in our everyday lives.
The research of these four artists addresse architecture and administration with their conditionings and protocols; the perpetuation of colonial governance through digital infrastructures and our dependency on them; immersive institutional rational authority and the amazing potential of time to inherit, transform, conduct change and resilience.
The End-Presentations at a.pass are on themselves a study on curatorial practice, performativity and making public. By being together, these performative situations will shine attention to the context and environment they are in, their relationship with audiences, the materialities that are involved being them visible or invisible and what matters in these circumstances.

THiS INSTITUTE
At a.pass my artistic research came to be conjured through THiS INSTiTUTE; a structure by which to constitute the sensual mode of my thinking. The past year I have been looking intensely into ահąէ it is a spacious feeling – where an imaginary world of analysis starts appearing through the objects and textures at hand, հօա it opens as a kind of summoning and closes when I am called into presence by matters of everyday life and ահվ it feels so urgent for me to institutionalize my artistic research as affect, as symptom, as dream.
Moving to Brussels from Denmark I lost the sociological overview of my environment. Normally, my artistic work unfolds as sitespecifc intervention in a concrete place, in the academic field or in an institutional setting, which I have carefully sensed in order to know how to highlight its features and make the invisible visible, often through an aesthetic and ideological juxtaposition. My performance series My Protestant Origins and Catholic Fantasies combines my background in Sociology with my artistic work by making performance installations which open up a maximalist, celestial relation to space and objects in the otherwise secular rule of minimalist Danish design. Now, in the myriad of styles and institutions that make up Brussels, I didn’t know what to juxtapose and how to intervene. And after quite some confusion, this lack of clarity started to feel good. It granted me permission to just gaze at my own gaze. In many of my previous works I had been exploring with performers how the gaze affects or choreographs the body, and now, with half-closed eyes I started to practice an intense mode of subjectivation.
Inside THiS INSTiTUTE I researched how to fall into a medieval perception of space/time; a mode of being in and knowing the world, I fantasize to be a remaining counterweight to the renaissance’s linear perspective once invented by the architect. I practiced a bodily felt sense of my close surroundings as an emotional imaginary landscape, where the distinction between the inner and outer world falls away. At the End Presentation I tried to open up THiS INSTiTUTE to my community of artistic researchers and people interested in the question of how to build portals for other modes of thinking? And why might we need the institution to uphold and preserve them?

McCloud has gone on to participate in Scharnaval, the Hanswijk Cavalcade, organise parades in Dunkerque, France & Suzhou, China & create a parade version of the Royal Pole Archery Gilde Sint Sebastiaan for the Carnaval of Charleroi.
McCloud has written songs about the Couque de Dinant, Boulet Sauce Lapin, Choux de Bruxelles, La Gueuze, Le Chicon & personalities such as Les Gilles, Les Poirais de Tilft, Tchantches, Pietje & Woltje, He has made three shows about Pogge with handmade puppets and not least, has been an active member of the Royal Pole Archery Guild of Saint Sebastiaan, Becoming King in 2017 & 2022 and active as Feestbestuur (party organiser) since 2019.
Nominated by Tim Wouters, Capitian of the Gilde Sint Sebastiaan, McCloud took the chance and became Prince Carnaval of Schaerbeek on 12 March 2020, two days before the Corona pandemic lockdown and the subsequent cancelation of the carnaval. The Scharnaval has been cancelled in 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 resulting in the title "PRINS ZONDER CARNAVAL" (prince without a carnival).
