Art
Greig Burgoyne makes art about the space between visible and invisible, between where we are and where we are not. Born in Scotland, he studied in Vienna and London, developing a site-specific practice encompassing film, interactive performance and installation. His question: when are we permitted to be our real selves, free from imposed conventions?
For Boring Festival, Burgoyne creates three works that transform De Vishal, once Haarlem's fish market, into a space of waves and fishing. A floor installation explores the bound and the boundless. A live performance incorporating ventriloquy and drawing is filmed and projected. And a rule-based walk invites visitors to navigate the space anew. Logic leads to lostness, the familiar becomes absurd.
Burgoyne's work has been presented at Bochum Kunsthalle, The Lowry Manchester and Performance Art Bergen, amongst others. As a writer, he publishes on performance drawing and placemaking. His work asks: what happens in the space between fishing net and freedom?
