Club Efemeer originated in 2017 as a collaboration between visual artists Maarten Vanermen and Arnaud De Wolf during their residency at Cas-co in Leuven (Belgium). Since then, they have been creating scenographies for and inspired by the night and, subsequently, installations. Club Efemeer’s work is at the crossroads of high tech and low tech, of analog and digital; it connects visual art with scenography, our senses with science.

In addition to their individual and collective practice, Maarten is curator of visual arts at Pilar House for Art & Science, of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Arnaud conducts research into the scenographic and dramaturgical aspects of club culture.
