MASTER CLASS "BOTANICAL ENTANGLEMENTS" with BENNY NEMER

October 27-30, 2025

Within the vast body of sound art being produced today, artists are increasingly producing narrated audio walks, audio guides, and podcasts that accompany and mediate encounters with other artworks, objects, sites, and the sensory world. These interventions often engage critically with the histories of artefacts and places, inviting different readings, subjective positions, fiction, fabulation, and feeling to shape the mode of encounter.

In this four-day masterclass, we will review artistic approaches with which to engage, accompany, mediate, resist, or otherwise encounter the world around us using narrated audio and narration as a creative tool. Participants will research, script, and record their own site-specific audio encounters in response to Ghent’s Botanical Gardens and KASK’s Kunstenbibliotheek.

BIO Benny Nemer: Benny Nemer is a Montreal-born artist, diarist, and researcher based in Paris. His multidisciplinary practice traces the affective contours of love and longing while facilitating bonds of kinship between his audience, figures from history, and himself, taking form through audio, performance, participatory action, epistolary writing, and flower arranging. He has produced works for the audio guides of museums in Austria, Sweden, Poland, and the United States, as well as non-institutional audio pieces that mediate encounters with libraries, flowers, gay cruising sites, and the rain. Benny is currently a postdoctoral researcher at KASK & Conservatorium, where he is pursuing research into queer kinship, postcards as an artistic medium, and the archive of French author and photographer Hervé Guibert. www.nemer.be
