Ief Spincemaille's artistic journey crosses the visual arts, design and performance and a diverse range of working contexts. Exploring the boundaries of his field of work (that of the arts), he plays with its existing frameworks and shapes. Not just out of the joy of playing a formalistic game, but from the necessity to find new forms that respond better to his imagination.

His projects always arise from a childish wonder at simple phenomena. Things that are so close and familiar that they remain invisible: Earth’s curvature, the presence of sunlight, our farthest neighbor on the other side of the world, the shortening and lengthening of the days...

Spincemaille succeeds in combining wonder and poetry with a strongly committed and social and political practice. In so doing, he continues avant-garde traditions but translates them into a radical new contemporary form.

Ief Spincemaille obtained his master's in Philosophy at the University of Leuven and studied jazz, modern music and music and technology at L’AULA de Música Moderna i Jazz, Barcelona. His work is supported by Werktank.
