ABOUT SHARC

SHARC (Siem Schellevis) is an artist director focusing on artist identity and art direction, and working at the intersection of body, perception, and meaning. He works with art made in short arcs, or as he calls it: SHARCS. His work does not aim to explain or persuade, but to reorient experience. Drawing from martial arts science, ancient wisdom traditions, philosophy and hip hop, he designs immersive services that allow the artist to speak directly through and to the BODYMIND rather than the intellect.

SHARC is known for translating complex human mechanisms into simple, felt experiences. His direction is minimal, precise, and experiential. Less narrative. More signal. His work spans across film, music, language, spatial design, and embodied practice. SHARC invites artists to develop a healthy distinction between the self they have and the spirit or soul that they are, so they may create vacuums in spacetime where people can explore meaning, fulfillment and connection.

SHARC was heavily involved in the discovery and development stages of The Child of LOV and Illnodlegde.

Current collaborations include OTION and Khadijia El Kharraz-Alami, among others.

Stillness is not an aesthetic in his work. It is the medium. Stillness First.
