Silent Speech
Ghent visual artist Leen Van Tichelen has created the work of art Silent Speech together with the inhabitants of the Bloemekenswijk neighbourhood. It consists of imposing canvases printed with patterns and images designed by local residents. The stories of this neighbourhood are thus an integral part of the artwork.
Afterwards, the artist will make curtains and cushions from the canvases and exhibit them in the display windows of Kioskiosk.
Leen Van Tichelen (1981) lives and works in Ghent. She looks for or creates structures and patterns which she isolates, copies and recycles. Through on-site interventions, she enters into a direct dialogue on the possibilities and limitations of space, with the proportions of her works of art ranging from limited and modest to extensive.
