About

George Dhauw is a transdisciplinary artist, sound designer and composer based in Brussels. Working with hand-crafted materials such as knitting, embroidery, lace and fabric, he creates installations and performative environments where fragile surfaces become structures that carry vibration, memory and subtle sonic events.

Originally trained in theatre sound design, Dhauw collaborated with directors and institutions across Europe, including productions at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam, Théâtre de l’Odéon in Paris and The Young Vic in London. In recent years his work has shifted towards autonomous artistic research, where sound and spatial awareness interact.

Through textile membranes, distributed micro-speakers and sensor-based systems, his installations investigate how bodies perceive space through listening, touch and presence. Rather than producing dominant sound events, Dhauw focuses on fragile acoustic situations where small shifts in vibration and resonance alter the atmosphere of a space.

Themes of fragility and repair run through his work. By combining slow craft processes with subtle technological systems, he creates environments that invite attention, stillness and sensory awareness.

His projects span installations, performances and experimental spatial frameworks that blur the boundaries between visual art, sound art and performative practice.

In 2026, George is supported by the Flanders Government through a research grant.
