STEPHAN GOLDRAJCH  - 2019

Rencontre 1

THE LOUNGE

Born in 1985, Goldrajch in Ramat Gan, Israel. He lives and works in Belgium

In his practice, he combines various techniques: textiles, texts, drawings, installations, found materials. He multiplies colours and forms and is inspired by folk tales, myths, and the ancestral magical imagination, fromVoodoo to the Kabbalah. For him, art is like a rite that descends on all aspects of existence and intertwineswith each person’s life.In his work, Stephan Goldrajch seeks to find the best way to “combine art and social cohesion”: encounters and interaction are at the heart of his practice. His way of doing things is nomadic and he is not attached to a fixed studio.  He seeks to compare their existences and practices with his own in orderto generate a new dimension in his work and enrich his own techniques, feeding them both with ancestral traditions and with his encounters. 

Stephan Goldrajch’s œuvre was shown in numerous institutional exhibitions (selection): International Carnival and Mask Museum (Binche), Museum of contemporary art (Athens), Maison des Cultures et de la Cohesionsociale (Brussels), CENTRALE for contemporary art (Brussels), Centre Wallonie- Bruxelles (Paris), Le Brass – Centre culturel de Forest (Brussels), Centre international de Formation en Arts du Spectacle CIFAS (Brussels), Jewish Museum of Belgium (Brussels), Iselp contemporary art center (Brussels), Museum of Ixelles (Brussels), MusAfrica – Musee Africain de Namur (Namur), Maison des Arts (Saint-Herblain), Haifa Museum of Art (Haifa).

He was on residency in Sanxingdui (China), in Armenia and in Bulgaria in 2019 and in the School of AfricanHeritage (Benin) in 2018. In 2019, he did a series of performances in Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris (Les Juges). His book «Poème d’Armenie» (in collaboration with Myriam Rispens) was published in 2020. He is alsoauthor of «Masques» (2021), «Les 8 recits fondateurs» (2018) and «Le Bouc Emissaire selon Stephan Goldrajch» (2018).
