Stored in concrete-clad tunnels deep within the earth, radioactive matter is being buried that will continue to have the potential to create catastrophic disaster deep into the future, into a period of time we can barely perceive of, yet alone imagine. Troubling over signs, objects and markers that endure from the past, the group exhibition ‘Riddle of the Burial Grounds’ stares unblinkingly into this future, and to a landscape littered with industrial ruin, excavated caverns and objects and messages that will outlast us: a future counted in the devastating, radioactive reality of half-lives.

31 Lokaal 01 Mark Titchner and Jeremiah Day–ME HERE NOW (Burning, Too)

A collaborative project inspired by Fugazi at Lokaal 01, BRDG, and L’édition populaire. Jeremiah Day (1974) is re-examining political conflicts and resistances through unfolding their subjective traces and contexts through photography, speech and body language. His approach to cultural practice has been widely influenced by the example of Fugazi and Dischord Records. British artist Mark Titchner’s (1973) language-based practice investigates communication and perception. A dialogue on how we receive thought and ideas that is inhabited by messages scavenged from song lyrics, corporate creeds, philosophical treatises and political manifestos.

32 Mariondecannière Artspace Peter Buggenhout and Didier Vermeiren–Invited by HELD.

Mariondecannière artspace presents a duoshow by sculptors Peter Buggenhout and Didier Vermeiren, invited by HELD. Buggenhout rearranges and analyses the body and emphasizes its physical decay. The result however isn’t a repulsive visualization, but rather an outright confrontation with physical (im)perfection. The work of Vermeiren poses fundamental questions about the identity of the medium sculpture. He has been occupied with its history and specific nature since the 1970s, with an emphasis on the plinth. Extra: 21. May 16.00, artist talk Peter Buggenhout at mariondecannière artspace.

Belgian Art 1945–1975

Paul Van Hoeydonck –Hemelse odyssee

‘Connexions One: Belgian Art 1945 –1975’ is an exhibition concieved as a panoramic view of the emerging abstraction in Belgian art during the ‘trente glorieuses’, the thirty glorious years of economic growth after 1945. The story concentrates on the creation of networks between different protagonists and the characteristics of about 40 Belgian artists. This overview shows the wealth of this cross-fertilization and how it gave rise to nuances that define the complexity of Belgian art. In our new exhibition dedicated to Paul Van Hoeydonck no less than 120 works that trace the course of this exceptional artist will be showcased. He became well established in Belgium and across borders with an oeuvre in which the conquest of the universe plays a key role. But the main intention of this overview is to highlight his lesser-known series such as his refined drawings and sophisticated photo-collages. Extra: Part of Antwerp Artists.

37 Ruimte Morguen Marc Schepers–Intrigued art. 1408–1412quater

‘Intrigued’ shows work that emerges from an interaction between press photos and what they show about events in the world. Images and photos are always seen within a context, from where they derive meaning and to which they refer. Here photo images are deconstructed, by connecting them to other photo images, to create or reconstruct contexts in which images complete each other and at the same time begin questioning themselves. In this way both the formal and substantive aspects are played off against each other and introduce new forms and meanings, and become a critique on the ‘reality’, which has been presented to us. There is an inherent irony in the way that existing press photos are converted into new images about what is possibly going on in the world.

38 Showroom Sint Lucas Anton Van Hertbruggen

Born in 1990, Anton Van Hertbruggen is an illustrator/artist living and working around Antwerp, Belgium.

Most of his works are inspired by nightly bicycle tours. His work has been published in various international magazines and newspapers, such as The Süddeutsche Zeitung, The New York Times, Nobrow, Slanted and The New Yorker. Extra: Part of Antwerp Artists.
