Boris Acket (1988) is a Dutch multidisciplinary artist, working with sound, light and motion. His background is in electronic music and clubbing, and his practice has evolved into installation art, movies and performances, and challenging their borders. He’s most known for his large, immersive installations of slowly floating fabrics, with exalted soundscapes.
The combination of visual impressivity and poetics in his body of work was the main theme in the discussion.
Acket’s installations have been showcased for example at Mutek MX, Milan Salone del Mobile, Dark Matter Berlin, Lost Art Festival Berlin, Stedelijk Museum, NXT Museum, Lowlands, Holland Festival, Het Hem, Fiber Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event, De School, Down The Rabbit Hole and Van Gogh Museum.
