Simon Ascencio

Descripción del Artista

Simon Asencio studied Fine Arts at Haute École des Arts du Rhin (HEAR) Strasbourg (MFA) and choreography at the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in Amsterdam. Simon’s work plays on the fence between visual arts, choreography and performance investigating aspects of immaterial objecthood. These investigations have taken on various forms and formats from installations, texts, sound installations to lectures and performances. His recent works focus on invisible choreographies and have been presented at venues including the Frascati and Hetveem Theater (Amsterdam), MDT (Stockholm), Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), FAR Festival (Nyon, Switzerland), Uferstudios (Berlin) and CAB-Contemporary Art Brussels (Belgium). Simon’s artistic practice is also formed and informed through collaborations with Adriano Wilfert Jensen, Nina Djekic, the collective clairenadiasimon, Marta Ziólek and Lisa Vereertbrugghen, among others. Since 2014 he runs Galerie together with Adriano Wilfert Jensen, an immaterial gallery dealing with immaterial artworks.
