2 Annie Gentils Gallery Luc Deleu and T.O.P. Office–Tabula Rasa
Advertisement
‘Luc Deleu and T.O.P Office’ is an architectural office. Their considerations and their practice offer architecture as the preeminent medium through which one might consider the world as it is made. During the last 2–3 years T.O.P Office developed maps with all possible landforms translated in elegant 3D sculptures and drawings. Extra: 22. May, Luc Deleu at Antwerp Lectures, DE Studio.

3 Axel Vervoordt Gallery Markus Brunetti–FACADES
For his ‘FACADES’ series, Markus Brunetti (Bavaria, 1965) captured religious buildings around Europe, architecture aimed to overwhelm by way of physical superiority over man’s small stature. By way of advanced visual technology, in his photographs he combined highly technical precision with an absolute peaceful ambience to evoke a sense of estrangement. The artist will show his latest works from his most recent travels around Europe, including Belgium. Extra: Part of Contemporary Photography.

4 Base-Alpha Gallery Nadia Naveau–I Spy With My Little Eye
Based upon children’s game ‘I spy with my little eye’, Nadia Naveau creates in her new exhibition an insight on how she specifically looks at things.

She will present her new ceramics, bronzes and cast iron in small dioramas. Extra: Base-Alpha Gallery takes part in Little HISK. Part of Antwerp Artists.

5 Callewaert–Vanlangendonck Gallery Koen van den Broek in dialogue with Jan Cox
Callewaert-Vanlangendonck is delighted with the double exhibition “Cox-van den Broek“, in which the latter pays tribute to one of his examples, Jan Cox. The work of Koen van den Broek is characterized primarily by the way he depicts the urbane (mainly American and Asian) landscape, and always starts from an abstract language. During this exhibition, the gallery displays a screen print that Koen van den Broek created specially for this show.

6 De Zwarte Panter Ysbrant–Selinunte
Frederique van Rijn–Vergankelijkheid Fugacidad
Ysbrant van Wijngaarden (1937, The Hague, NL) belongs to the older generation of contemporary ‘expressive painters’. In some respects is actually a hardliner: Ysbrant shuns the conceptual entirely; no explanation is offered of his work–the work has to speak entirely for himself. The collaboration between Ysbrant and De Zwarte Panter started in 1975, resulting in a series of exhibitions throughout the years. On occasion of the exhibition a new book by Ysbrant and Remco Campert is published. Frederique van Rijn: “The poetry of natural light and the curiosity of space are the defining marks of my trade. Little of my interiors are staged or arranged. They are what they are.” Extra: Fri 20. May 18.00, Ysbrant book signing and live drawing Part of BOOKS, Antwerp Artists, and Contemporary Photography.

7 Eva Steynen. Deviation(s) Aurélie Gravas
Aurélie Gravas presents in her recent paintings and drawings the continuation of her practice to disintegrate the figure into more abstract forms. Through her drawings she gives an analytical insight in her way of (de)composing a painting. She cuts out different forms and fixes them with magnets on large, black metal sheets. Abstract and figurative parts form a new, vibrating whole. In the final presentation, the detail and the whole emphasis the mobility of perception.

9 Galerie Annette De Keyser Nassermann–The Process

10 Galerie Geukens and De Vil Jaromír Novotný–White Room
The ongoing evolution in the work of Jaromír Novotný led to his recent series of fragile monochromes on synthetic organza. Searching for new attitudes towards painting, Novotný finds himself rejecting any established approach of painterly practice, creating neither merely formal nor conceptual work in which he outlines the complex process, restrictions and possibilities peculiar to the medium.

For the solo exhibition ‘Sub.Titled’ at PLUS-ONE, Sergio De Beukelaer (BE, b. 1971) began with a homage to Yves Klein and his personal quest for ‘a blue void’ and how to fill it. The works exhibited serve as an advertisement or propaganda for painting; colours and moods clipped from the ‘Color Field’ paintings of the 1950s and 60s act as a kind of engine block for his fat canvas works with their greedy furies of colour and form.

Welcome to Daisuke Yokota’s wonder room. In his improvised dark room he experiments with analogue techniques and chemical processes. There he unites a traditional Japanese photography style with his individual approach by manipulating the making process. He uses a combination of digital photography and traditional film to shoot and re-shoot images. By doing so, Yokota adds layer upon layer to his work, with each layer offering new potential for the next image, leading to alienating, mysterious and poetic representations of a different sort of world. These motives are also visible in his most recent work “VERTIGO” referring to one of Hitcock’s great suspense movies. Extra: pop-up location: Antony CairnsJapan Klapdorp 48, 2000 Antwerpen.

22 Valerie Traan Unfold–Claire Warnier and Dries Verbruggen Unfold Recollected
In Unfold Recollected, Unfold is presenting its work from a different angle. The Antwerp-based studio is mostly known for their conceptual installations that tell a story about new ways of creating, manufacturing, financing and distributing in a digital age. The objects that are part of these installations–vases, tableware, bowls–are props for telling the bigger story. In this exhibition, these props become the protagonists. The different objects connect to each other, new families are composed, and other imaginative stories unfold. Extra: Muller Van Severen cabinet. Part of Antwerp Artistst.

23 Van der Mieden Gallery Hanne van der Woude–Emmy’s World
For five years photographer Hanne van der Woude (1982, NL) shared life’s joys and sorrows with an older married couple and a brother: people who never lost touch with their creativity or non–conformist mind–set. ‘Emmy’s World’ reads as a visual fairy tale, but one without a happy end; it is a moving portrait, which touches on several significant societal topics, such as intergenerational friendship, the art of living, independence and care.
