Werktank

WERKTANK is a production platform for media art. Our main mission is the realisation and distribution of installation art that investigates the relation between technology and perception. WERKTANK functions as a tool for the artist and puts its artistic, technical and productional expertise at the disposal of young and emerging artists. We accompany the artist through all the phases of the creation process of media art, from the research process till the final realisation and active distribution of the work, by offering residencies, financial and productional support. Every year we give new artists the opportunity to work in WERKTANK, parallel with a selection of artists who are supported on a longer term and who assure the continuity of the Werktank-dramaturgy. We aim to continuously challenge the artistic line developed over the past years with new impulses, at the same time trying to maintain a coherent story which connects the works we produce. Kurt d'Haeseleer is our artistic director, Ief Spincemaille is the technical director.
