About

Spirit Plastic, ,Bruch‘ is a performance at CAMPO nieuwpoort, Gent, on Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 20:30. It lasts 90 minutes and is in English.

What to expect

The performance by ,Bruch‘ revisits a summer 1927 letter from Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven to Peggy Guggenheim about a planned studio for experimental modelling in Paris.

Peggy Guggenheim shows interest but does not pay, and shortly afterwards the artist takes her own life.

Almost a century later, ,Bruch‘ reinterprets the episode as a space for questions about artistic labour today.
