Part 1: Fragile Resonances

A sonic encounter between Dutch and Belgian sound artists
May 22 till June 20, 2026 | de Brakke Grond

Fragile Resonances brings together work by five sound artists based in Belgium and the Netherlands who invite us to slow down, draw closer, and listen. Their practices stem from a shared sensitivity to sound as something that is not only heard, but also moves, connects, and unfolds within space.

The works stem from a fragile, sometimes barely perceptible source – such as the vibration of a chain, a whispered voice, or a play of light. Through accumulation, repetition and interference, these micro-events grow into layered, immersive compositions. What begins as small and individual unfolds into a complex whole in which order and chaos, control and unpredictability constantly intersect. These become layered, emotional sound experiences that allow us to realise that a sum of small elements can lead to powerful changes. And that, beyond our immediate perception, there are often far more complex relationships woven into our living environment.
