During this workshop, the students stayed in the Unité d’Habitation and worked in the church, which they used as a context to reflect and work on current situation of transition, demodernisation and decentralisation.

A graduate of Jan van Eyck Akademie, Belgian artist Sophie Nys works with a variety of media and materials. She pushes conceptual and minimalist artistic strategies to their logical and formal limits, whilst retaining their poetic eloquence as subjects derived from everyday life.
