Open Studio with Laure Winants
Join us for an exclusive open studio with visual artist Laure Winants, our newest resident at the FUTURES Hub.
Laure Winants will present her ongoing project Time Capsule, a transtemporal laboratory that explores shifting ecologies and entangled temporalities.
The project highlights the interdependence between living organisms and their environments, weaving together biological, social, and techno-scientific systems through artistic and scientific approaches. It proposes to leave behind human-centered time to engage with “deep time” and “more-than-human” rhythms. Time Capsule is conceived as a space for experimentation, fiction, and anticipatory storytelling. It invites us to imagine and feel futures beyond the Anthropocene. By working in situ, we develop sonic and visual artifacts, forming hypothetical islands of immersion and reflection.
The public event will include in situ performances, readings, and a participatory conversation, creating a living archive of the expedition.

About Laure Winants:
Laure Winants is an artist-researcher based in Paris and Brussels. Laure collaborates with transdisciplinary research groups including the CNRS/CNES on atmospheric pollution in the Pyrenees with Albedo 2021, the Volcanology Laboratory in Iceland on the monitoring of natural and anthropogenic phenomena such as volcanic activity with Phenomena 2022, and the Norwegian Polar Institute on its polar research with the Time Capsule 2023-2024 project. Her research highlights the ways in which living organisms are highly interdependent on each other and their environments, and the importance of giving a voice to more than human entities. She works with sensitive materials and creates reactive works - works that will react to their environment; light, weather, temperature, humidity. Immersed in this white desert, Laure works directly in the elements and joins the scientific expedition on polar missions.
Laure has exhibited her work internationally in Berlin, Reykjavik, Brussels, Paris and soon in Stockholm, Luxembourg and Osaka. Her work has entered the collections of several foundations, including the Fondation des Arts du Luxembourg, the Palais de Liège, the Moorden Institute in China etand K11 Foundation in Chine and in Hong Kong.
We look forward to seeing you there!
