Shezad Dawood’ VR experience at WIELS in Brussels
For this new body of work, British artist Shezad Dawood finds inspiration in the creative output of African American musician, composer and polymath, Yusef Lateef. Enter Dawood’s universe through an enchanting VR experience, a suite of new painted textiles, and a garden of digital plants growing in response to Lateef’s music. You can also encounter a live mutant dancing through the exhibition on most Sundays, wearing a specially created costume sculpture, as Dawood’s work breaks down the boundaries between the analogue and the digital, between fiction, virtual reality and real life.
A perfume has been created for the occasion by Nicolas Bonneville (Firmenich) & Olivia Bransbourg (Iconofly).
Opening: 17th May at 6PM
