words service
Sarah Vanhee
Is there something you want to say or write,
but can’t find the words?
words service is happy to help you with matters of head, heart and soul for which you need words. Communication is precious. Various writings are created with care and precision, in consultation, within a discreet, poetic setting. words service can be visited weekly at a fixed location in the city, for several months. The service is free and publicly accessible, with or without an appointment.
words service is staffed by artist Sarah Vanhee, together with other word providers. With this work, Vanhee elaborates on her practice of active and deep listening, central to her oeuvre. words service offers attention and humanity in a hectic society, and is an ethical, aesthetic and symbolic alternative to the far-reaching digitalisation and robotisation of our language, communication and services.
From March to May, words service was available almost weekly at AZ Sint-Lucas. During the public presentation on May 13 at CAMPO victoria, Sarah will talk about the history of the public writer, her role as a words provider and her experiences, ideas and observations. This will be followed by an anthology of texts.
