Bram Vreven (b. 1973) is a visual artist who lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands. Since 1998 Vreven has made three-dimensional kinetic works and sound installations in which electronics are used to control motion and the acoustic sound of moving parts. In addition to various solo exhibitions in the Netherlands and Belgium, Vreven has participated in group exhibitions in, among others, Festival van Vlaanderen (Brussels), Lille 2004 (Lille), NICC (Antwerp), De Brakke Grond and the Consortium (Amsterdam), Art Center STUK (Louvain), Audioframes (Kortrijk), the Ultima Festival (Oslo) and CTM (Berlin).
The project "SPIN" questions the relationship between reproduction and reality. In the work "SPIN" concentric circles seem to emerge out of nowhere, swell in scope, colour, contrast and saturation, whereupon they disappear in the same vacuum from which they arose. An array of screens show unedited live images from the second part of the installation, a display cabinet with small rapidly rotating spheres. At their mat-white marble surface appear and disappear the same concentric circles as screened on the displays of the screens.
