KGB-PROJECTS | KANE & GONNY'S BISCUIT PROJECTS
About KGB-Projects:
In February 2012, Kane Calí and Gonny van Hulst founded KGB-Projects. The duo behind KGB-Projects, both glass artists
from Malta and the Netherlands respectively, have embarked on an attempt to adapt
and approach to curating contemporary art that responds creatively to the potentials
of hybrid art projects and aspires to explore ways of managing, collaborating and
creating projects that go beyond the lines of existing structures and preconceptions.
Their aim is to create a platform and
encourage collaboration, networking and the sharing of artforms, where art,
culture and communities meet. As a curatorial team they describe themselves as
‘base-less’, thus they can respond more easily to new artistic and audience
trends and new ways of bringing art to the public. KGB-Projects' strength is its
international vision, recognizing how artists and communities connect and
engage with each other across the globe and it wants to champion work by artists
from different social and cultural backgrounds, and extend the reach of this
work through touring.
Its mission is to produce provocative,
playful and risk-taking art events centered around wider social and cultural
themes for a diverse range of creative individuals. A key focus of their work
is to encourage hybrid arts projects with a focus on cross media collaboration
and serve as a bridge, finding innovative and imaginative ways to connect
artists with new audiences, new supporters and new contexts for their work.
They feel that an event can become more of a stimulating experience rather than
a simple observation and elevation of the mind and should offer the ability to
transcend atmosphere that stimulates the senses not only through vision but
also through sound, smell and touch. For Kane and Gonny, KGB-Projects remains an experiment, a creative project that they hope
is defined by the same kind of adventurousness and unpredictability that they
so admire in the creative individuals they work with.
