Het werk van Nada Gambier danst op de scheidingslijnen tussen theater, dans, performance en beeldende kunsten. In haar oeuvre vind je installaties, podiumstukken en werk voor zowel de publieke als de private ruimte. Nada Gambier heeft een onverzadigbare honger voor nieuwe avonturen en gekend om haar terug te vinden in plaatsen waar je het minst verwacht. In de ruimte tussen zin en onzin geniet Gambier van de mogelijkheden die groeien uit de botsingen tussen feit en fictie, performance en spontaniteit, logica en intuïtie, het absurde en het alledaagse.
[ENG]
Nada Gambier is an eclectic artist whose work is linked to theater, dance, performance and the visual arts. Her repertory consists of installations, stage works and works made for various public and private spaces. She has an insatiable hunger for new adventures and is known to be found in places you wouldn’t expect. Nada creates in the space between reason and non-sense and enjoys the potential that arises from the collision between facts and fiction, performativity and spontaneity. Her work often flirts with the borders between theatricality and abstraction and she is drawn to things that she doesn’t understand or cannot grasp. For her the creative process is about moving from an intuitive place to a place where an inner logic appears, specific to the combination of the different elements brought into the process. The non-spectacular, the absurd and an ongoing desire to reveal the extraordinary in ordinary life belong to her most known trademarks as an artist.
