‘Third Paradise’

Every year artist Michelangelo Pistoletto makes his case for the rebirth of society. On ‘Rebirth Day’ events and performances inspired by Pistoletto’s symbol of the Third Paradise – a reworking of the mathematical symbol for infinity formed by three circles – are organised all over the world. This year, BOZAR invited composer, musician and visual artist Mira Calix to create an interactive performance.

A combination of professional dancers and volunteers will move through the main Horta Hall diffusing Calix’s musical composition. They will be mapping the interlaced symbol of the 3rd paradise in organic chalk. Together they create a sound sculpture that changes constantly.

Mira Calix is an award winning artist and composer based in the United Kingdom. Music and sound, which she considers a sculptural material, are at the center of her practice. Her work explores the manipulation of the material into visible, physical forms through multi-disciplinary installations, sculpture, video and performances. Calix’s practice is deliberately disjunctive, allowing research, site, and subject to influence a fluid choice of materials and mediums. Mira has been commissioned and exhibited works and performances with many leading international cultural institutions, festivals and ensembles.
