Gwendoline Robin is a Belgian visual artist and performer.
She lives and works in Brussels.
Gwendoline Robin builds her work around installation, performance, and video. Fire and explosives, glass, earth, water, and stones are all elements she confronts in ephemeral actions and tensions that densify time and space. Through her play with the elements and her performative gestures, she highlights her limits and the possibility, for herself as well as for the audience, to let go, so that we can detach ourselves from the here and now and dream of elsewhere.
Since 2005, G. Robin has been developing her performance work more intensively. She has carved out a unique place for herself in the contemporary art scene in Brussels, Belgium, and internationally, presenting her performances at international performance and dance festivals in Europe, Canada, Chile, Australia, and Asia.
Over time and through her collaborations, her desire to weave her performative vocabulary into a structure that is more open to multidisciplinarity has become more pronounced, encouraging her to think of spaces as active devices that combine performance, visual installation, and the sonic dimension of the materials used.
Since 2015, his performance-activated installations have been shown in various art centers in Belgium, France, and Quebec, and have also been featured in festivals dedicated to sound and music creation, such as Lisboa Soa in Lisbon, La Semaine du Son in Brussels, and the Archipel Festival in Geneva.
Alongside her artistic practice, Gwendoline Robin teaches visual arts research and performance art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tournai and at ESA Le 75 in Brussels.
Since 2012, she has been supported by Grand Studio and receives backing from Wallonie-Bruxelles International.
