YOUNG The YOUNG section contains 90 galleries presenting youngergeneration artists and is an important part of Art Brussels ‘discovery’ profile. Art Brussels wishes to encourage the work of these galleries, which support emerging artists, and has therefore instigated the YOUNG PRIZE in memory of Karen Renders, which is awarded each year to the gallery that has made the most original and engaging presentation in the fair.

SOLO supported by Van Den Weghe A SOLO presentation is an individual ambitious project dedicated to the work of one artist. The SOLO presentations are spread throughout the two halls of the fair. Galleries are making a statement by showing one specific on site project by an individual artist. This gives the visitor the opportunity to get to know the work of an artist more in depth.

Artists Club Coffre Fort LES COFFRES FORTS Thibaut Espiau, Ištvan Išt Huzjan and Grégoire Motte established the Artists Club in March of 2012. They are a group of artists whose primary activity is spending time together and conducting discussions, but not developing an art practice as a collective. On Hopstraat 63, in central Brussels, the Artists Club runs the Coffre Fort exhibition space. The space is a Fichet-Bauche vault (H 230 cm x W 280 cm x L 230 cm) placed in the middle of a mezzanine in a former jeweller’s workshop. The frequency and duration of the exhibitions is irregular (sometimes one night only), because the goal is not to ‘make exhibitions’, but to try to invite member artists to investigate their personal art history and to make it public. As the big vault at Hopstraat 63 cannot be transported to Art Brussels, the Artists Club will present a group exhibition involving several, small-sized vaults provided by Fichet-Bauche, containing interventions by the artists with whom the Artists Club has collaborated since the beginning, and who have exhibited at the Coffre Fort. Each of the exhibitors will have a Fichet-Bauche MILLIUM 80 (H 61.5 cm x W 55.5 cm x L 49 cm) domesticsize vault at their disposal, a smaller version of the Coffre Fort. The vault interventions will result from meetings and reunions within the club. Artists: Barbara Pereyra & Filip van Dingenen | Robert Wilhite | Evor | Mathieu Manche | Ella de Burca | Kurt Ryslavy | James Beckett | Yves Grenet | Christophe Terlinden | Sadaharu Horio + Kuki | IRWIN With thanks to Fichet-Bauche.

HETERARCHICAL ARCHIPELAGO C-o-m-p-o-s-i-t-e presents a ‘re-work’, more a group work than a group show, with six artists with whom they have collaborated since their founding. Originally constructed in their exhibition space during a week-long collective working period, the installation includes works they coproduced with the artists, traces from their fabrication and materials languishing in their storeroom. Their aim is to performatively create a protocol allowing us to enter the artists’ ‘black box’ – the intimacy of their practice and media – discovering which elements ‘stick’, to create new assemblages. The result was photographed and applied directly to the booth’s walls, transposing their exhibition space directly into the art fair. The photograph is not a backdrop, but equal to the works, objects and materials also physically present. The whole is a metaphor of recollection, of thinking through c-o-m-p-o-s-i-t-e’s activities, a re-composition of the qualities of their first year’s programme. C-o-m-p-o-s-i-t-e is a non-profit organization with an exhibition space in central Brussels and a collaborative practice based on dialogue and sharing working processes with artists. We invite artists to invest the space in diverse projects, addressing issues of interest to our multi-disciplinary team. In sustained collective reflection with the artists, we create specific working protocols that allow us to engage intimately, both conceptually and materially, in the co-production of new works. c-o-m-p-o-s-i-t-e 10 rue du Marché aux Porcs BE – 1000 Brussels e: info@c-o-m-p-o-s-i-t-e.com w: www.c-o-m-p-o-s-i-t-e.com Opening hours: Thu-Sat, 2 pm – 6 pm and by appointment STAND: 3C-50F

enough room for space THE FAIR DEAL For The Fair Deal, Enough Room for Space (ERforS) worked with Galeri NON of Istanbul. They developed a presentation based on Uncertainty Scenarios, a collective experimental research project exploring how people throughout history have tried to speculate, predict and anticipate the future. NON and ERforS present the Swedish artists Goldin+Senneby, who performatively and virtually explore legal, financial and spatial constructs. M&A is a new work, introduced at Art Brussels, but is only activated when sold. This means that a percentage of the revenue will be used to speculate on the stock market, using a Merger Prediction Strategy developed for them by New York investment banker Paul Leong to identify early signs of mergers and acquisitions. With the profit, an actor will rehearse a scripted, speculative scene relating to the Merger Prediction Strategy. The rehearsals will continue as long as the trading budget lasts. M&A speculates on the precariousness of labour amid variations in private and public funding, problematizing the relationship between art and finance against globalization and its local consequences. A non-profit organization, ERforS initiates events, residencies, research projects and exhibitions. ERforS puts context and ideas before the medium, challenging barriers between different disciplines (artistic, scientific, activist). Galeri NON embraces non-disciplinary art practices, working in its gallery and at the NON-Stage experimental performance platform.

A GENTRIFICATION PROGRAMME In 2012, the Institute for Human Activities (IHA), founded by Dutch artist and filmmaker Renzo Martens, began A Gentrification Programme on a former Unilever plantation in Congo, 800km from Kinshasa. Established in the Netherlands, Belgium and the Democratic Republic of Congo, IHA held its opening seminar in a rainforest clearing, where art historians, activists and artists discussed IHA’s five-year programme. IHA asserts that even when art critically engages with global inequalities, it brings beauty, jobs and opportunity to the places where it is shown, discussed and sold – London, Venice or New York. The IHA aims to change this. During Critical Curriculum, Congolese plantation workers, including Djonga Bismar and Mbuku Kipala, produced elaborate self-portraits. Cast in the cocoa they provide to global markets, these sculptures are on sale at Art Brussels, but now with added significance. The IHA presents two chocolate sculptures, plus photographs and info-graphics by the Amsterdam-based design duo, Metahaven, which identify technical, social and economic interactions associated with these works. In a special pop-up store, visitors can buy smaller versions of the chocolate self-portraits at an affordable price. All proceeds will go to the makers. As they cannot live from plantation labour, they now try to make a living from critical engagement with plantation labour practices. This project is made possible by BarryCallebaut, the leading Franco-Belgian producer of chocolate. With the support of the Mondriaan Fund, Netherlands.

NIEUWE VIDE THE HOLLS COLLECTIVE AT ART BRUSSELS The Holls Collective are Lisanne Ackermann, Dóra Benyó, Saskia Burggraaf, Katinka van Gorkum, Josje Hattink, Pia Louwerens, Lotte Pet and Machteld Rullens. They test the limits of being individuals

in a group, in labour-intensive performances and installations with strong repetition and endurance. In Confetti/Control, they meticulously sort, pile, collect and scatter 400 kg of confetti, following contradictory rules in a self-defeating exercise. Colourful traces are playfully swept across the fair grounds. The Holls Collective also concurrently present The Holls Penthouse Pre-party at the Hotel Bloom! Penthouse Art Space, co-hosted by Harlan Levey Projects. Nieuwe Vide is an exhibition and studio complex in Haarlem (NL). Since 1997, it offers exhibitions and events in multidisciplinary visual arts.

CONVERSATION PIECE WITH LOUWRIEN WIJERS RONGWRONG presents a solo installation by Dutch artist Louwrien Wijers, whom we met in Amsterdam, in a house that had long been a meeting place for artists and thinkers. We also got to know about De Appel and the Mickery Circuit galleries, and the conference and exhibition Art Meets Science and Spirituality in an Age of Changing Economy, which Wijers organized at the Stedelijk Museum in 1990. In time, her practice moved from metal sculptures to mental sculptures. Her work focuses on expanding conversations and interviews with fellow artists, and travelling through physical and mental spaces. Reflecting on Wijers’ performative and conceptual methodologies, the installation is based on a room in her studio and home, lined with fabric from a 1919 Zeppelin airship. She once said she wanted to live in airplanes. She would sit in this environment, using a typewriter to record her conversations with local and international artists – Joseph Beuys, Ben D’Armangac, Luigi Ontani or Marina Abramovic. This mental occupation of space also relates to the setting of RONGWRONG, in another traditional Amsterdam house. How does the investment of private spaces in an artistic context relate to the changing economies of art today? RONGWRONG is a space for art and theory in Amsterdam, founded in 2011. Rejecting the inscrutable logics of sterile art trades and cultural branding, we support and exhibit the work of artists and host ongoing public programmes that welcome art historians, writers and poets.

the STAGE ARTISTS’ Music Zinneke Terrace Between Hall 1 & 3

20


This year a programme of live performances replaces the talks programme on THE STAGE. To this effect Art Brussels is launching a new event called ARTISTS’ MUSIC, which features daily live musical performances by contemporary artists and their bands. This concert series is organised in collaboration with Brussels-based arts centre, Beursschouwburg and takes place on THE STAGE, which this year is located outdoors on the Zinneke Terrace between Halls 1 & 3.

PROGRAMME Friday 24th April Friday kicks off with a mix of noise, chaotic hard-core and heavy guitars; probably the most intense day of the whole programme. Best defined as an amazing layered madness, hyper neurotic action and a series of vivid musical performances using a mountain of instruments. Brought to you by those multi-disciplined artists Joris Van de Moortel and Matthieu Ronsse; interspersed with a Ghent based pop-rock band using a toy drum kit, the cheapest distortion pedal in the store, the bass guitar plugged into a keyboard amp and some chanting on the top of their juvenile voices. That’s how you describe the sound of Ping Pong Tactics.

Joris Van de Moortel SP and his Ur Gerausch Kammer Ensemble 7 pm – 8 pm

In his concerts Joris Van de Moortel gives rhythm to movement, collects energy, collapses structures and assembles fragments. His music oscillates

ARTISTS’ MUSIC


between order and chaos. What Joris destroys with his explosive musical performances, he will build up again in his installations. Joris Van de Moortel (BE, 1983) is a painter, sculptor, performer and musician. He uses the architecture and context of a specific place in order to set up his multifaceted work. Van de Moortel deliberately leaves traces of his creative process behind and only when he is finished performing does the work obtain its sculptural dimension.

Ping Pong Tactics 8:30 pm – 9 pm

Ping Pong Tactics consists of three charming men, playing pop music. This young trio haling from Lembeke (BE) make songs about growing up in a small village and living on social welfare. The band is known for their arrogant no-nonsense way and their self-made video clips on YouTube are instant hits. Loved by the kids, hated by the neighbours. Bert Huyghe (BE, 1989), Thomas Huyghe (BE, 1991) and Dries Dauwe (BE, 1991) found each other at Royal Academy of Fine Arts Ghent, KASK. What binds them together as a band is where they come from. Their often humoristic artwork, across diverse media, is about growing up in a small farming village. Photo © Ping Pong Tactics

Ratzinger Matthieu Ronsse, known as a versatile artist, is the frontman of Ratzinger. They are defined by different styles of music that’s undoubtedly proved in the anarchic and energetic structure of their sound, including explosive drums and wrenching guitar riffs. For the concert Ronsse has assembled a top-notch team of composers including Jef Cuypers, Elko Blijweert, Sjoerd Bruil, Mauro Pawlowski and Jeroen Stevens. Matthieu Ronsse (BE, 1981) studied at Royal Academy of Fine Arts Ghent. Immediately after his studies, he was noticed during Coming People SMAK, Ghent (2003), which led to the start of an international career as a crossover artist. In his eclectic practice he mixes elements from different styles, periods and disciplines, unifying a cohesive body of work with a recognizable idiom. Photo © mauroworld.net

THE STAGE

9:30 pm – 10:30 pm


Saturday 25th April Welcome to the world of synthpop. Saturday, two bands led by two women will invite you to a utopian and ethereal communion, where the dog is God and the future is bright. Using mainly a keyboard, a microphone, and a drum machine they will take you on a journey into romance, escapism and aspiration. This minimal wave will make you dance and dream on their voyage, be ready to get carried away. As sundown sets in, we invite you to a DJ-set; electronica and house take over, with a pinch of psychedelia and refined percussive elements. Remarkable are the incredibly deep, sometimes menacing but warm and melodious bass-lines. They will trigger your energy to keep you going into the night.

Musique Chienne 4 pm – 4:40 pm

Musique Chienne is described as music from Brussels for people and dogs. Her fascination for this domestic animal reflects in her self-made videos of free spirited dogs playing in a park. Her happy minimal tunes make you float away in a relaxing state, whether you are a dog or not. Musique Chienne is Sarah-Louise Barbett (FR, 1989). Barbett studied comics at Saint-Luc, Liège, drawing at La Cambre and finally at L’ERG Brussels. She records scenes of some of the most poignantly boring scenarios imaginable: the moment someone leaves a bottle of Fanta on a car roof, or when she catches her dog sitting casually on a sofa. Sarah-Louise registers odd mundanity with beauty. © Ilse Raps, Komplot, Brussels, August 2014

Bright Entity Michiel and Ciska of Bright Entity have been working together on music in Brussels since 2009. They compose using mainly synthesizers and drum machines and the result is a magnificent blend of pop music for Roland dummies. It’s eighties synthpop but without the cheese. And above all, it’s music for cruising, home listening and dancing, for making out and romancing. Bright Entity are Ciska Thomas (BE, 1991) and Michiel Claus (BE, 1987). She studied jazz singing at the Conservatory of Maastricht, composing music floating between pop and jazz, a warm sound though edgy, it’s pop but it’s not. He is a quixotic DJ and producer and helping out in the legendary Brussels record shop Dr. Vinyl, adhering to a relentless routine of searching for new and exciting music. Photo © Bright Entity

Different Fountains 6 pm – 7 pm

Different Fountains formed in Brussels / Paris in 2009 by the two Fountainheads Bernardo Risquez and Michael Langeder. For a few years now, they have been at the centre of what Brussels has to offer in modern electronic music. Producing leftfield electronica imbued by melody, otherworldly sounds, permutated lyrics and alien wistfulness. Sometimes danceable, sometimes experimental.

25

THE STAGE

5 pm – 5:40 pm


Michael Langeder (AT, 1981) and Bernardo Risquez (VE, 1982) met at the Faculty for Architecture and Urban Design, Caracas. Their mutual interest for architecture and sound is intertwined in their artistic practice. While Michael is experimenting with light performances and soundscapes where the city is both target and décor, Bernardo is interested in audiovisual representation, searching possible urban rhythmic patterns that could define cities and cultures.

Sunday 26th April Sunday will provide the best of what the Antwerp scene has to offer. The day starts with beautiful melancholic tunes and some fresh energy. Imagine; the future is neon purple and sunglasses are a non-stop necessity, you stretch your legs and dance radar slowly on an instant classy echo of teenage suicidal madness. No vocals, just beautiful burning exotic tunes. As night falls, prepare yourself; it’s loud. Vom Grill introduces you to the world of electronic abstract noise music. Expect extreme volume, distortion and improvisation. Don’t expect use of melody, harmony or rhythm. Best described as a blurry midlife crisis, for all children of the revolution.

Mittland och Leo 4 pm ­– 4:40 pm

Mittland och Leo is an instrumental synthduo formed by Antwerp artists Joke Leonare Desmet and Milan Warmoeskerken. They gained instant underground success thanks to some lauded live performances in

Joke Leonare Desmet (BE, 1989) is a multitasker. Graduated as a graphic designer at the Sint Lucas Academy Antwerp in 2010, she has an utterly diverse practise: occasional-musician, graphic designer, scenographer and co-runner of her own label called Jj funhouse. Her partner in crime Milan Warmoeskerken (BE, 1991) is a multi-instrumentalist. After his Jazz studies at the Antwerp Conservatorium he started to play in different bands such as Condor Gruppe, Flying Horseman and Blackie & The Oohoos. Solo he prefers his (analog) synthesizers.

Dennis Tyfus / Vom Grill 5 pm – 6 pm

Dennis Tyfus / Vom Grill is heavily influenced by electro-acoustic awareness, mid 80’s strobes, back-and-forth stereo holla, spiked metal logos and space age monkey brains. Like meeting a cat in a thunderstorm thinking about suicide. Most of the Vom Grill’s tracks are created out of sheer luck with one goal: never kisses the asses of the masses. Dennis Tyfus (BE, 1979) lives and works in Antwerp and sometimes in Blankenberge. Described as a rebel, local hero of the Antwerp art scene and an artistic all-rounder, Dennis is not concerned with art

Geographic Paradigms CURATED BY LORENZO BENEDETTI, DIRECTOR OF DE APPEL ARTS CENTRE AMSTERDAM

Geographic Paradigms explores different situations in the world from six oblique perspectives. The complex definition of time and identity are seen in an historic perspective, in which myth and nostalgia are a filter for a modern image. It can be seen in the void in the Greek parliament, or in the black balloons in an anti-government protest in Sofia, creating moments of surrealism, or in the metaphysical architecture of Rome, showing the times of a desolated past. A confrontation with the past is also visible in the poetic or ironic personal or collective perspectives of the detectors of change. THE CINEMA is located in Hall 3, underneath the large main staircase designed by B-ILD. 1.

THE CASA NOVA OF FORTUNA

The lottery cannot be manipulated, or it would no longer be a lottery. It does not rely on cause and effect. It is neither magic nor religion. Like the number π, it fascinates, yet liberates us from fascination with fate, destiny, chance and coincidence. Coincidence is defined as ‘falling on something’, ‘happening (with) somebody/something’. It refers to the point when two rays of light simultaneously strike a surface. ‘There is no such thing as chance or accident; since these words do not signify anything really existing, they merely signify man’s ignorance of the real and immediate cause. These fortuitous events are variously denominated as Destiny, or Fate, or Chance; but, in the poetical religion of Shakespeare, they are recognized as the direction of a Providence that exercises supreme control over human affairs.’ In a remarkable selection of works from the National Lottery collection, Casanova, the seducer, is imagined as a space, a Casa Nova or New House where Fortuna can be invited or invented. Prints from the 17th to the 19th centuries are shown chronologically, with Colonial Lottery photographs and 20th-century artworks. Seeing the past as past (including misogyny, racism and courageous, brilliant art), one imagines playful alternatives for the future. Last year, Art Brussels and the National Lottery launched an invitational competition for young curators, whose winner would curate an exhibition drawn from the National Lottery collection, based on games of chance. This unique collection of 100,000 items includes old masters and contemporary artists – photographs, drawings, prints, etchings, sculptures, ceramics, paintings, objects, ephemera, tapestries, posters and documents – plus lottery and slot machines, etc. Sofie Van Loo’s winning proposal is based on her research at the National Lottery archives.

NATIONAL LOTTERY EXHIBITION, ART BRUSSELS, 2015 Curated by Sofie Van Loo


120 MINUTES SPECIAL PROJECT ON THE OCCASION OF BESTE BUREN

120 Minutes is a performative sculpture, an exhibition project by artists Frank Koolen and Lieven Segers. It features 38 solo exhibitions, 38 openings, 19 Dutch artists, 19 Belgian artists, and one Dutch and one Flemish curator. The Flemish artist Lieven Segers is curator for the Belgian artists, and Dutch artist Frank Koolen curates the Dutch artists. The two presentations are not parallel. A new solo exhibition will open every hour during Art Brussels. As an exhibition opens in one space, another is deconstructed and a new presentation created in the other. Each artist has 120 minutes to build their exhibition, have an opening, and dismantle it again. The order of the presentations is decided by lottery. The early 1990s shaped the thinking and working methods of artists Frank Koolen and Lieven Segers. Both endlessly watched the MTV music programme 120 Minutes, generating an autonomous, direct DIY-mentality in organizing their own work. Collaboration, playful paradoxes and anarchistic humour all play an important role. 120 Minutes was specially developed in the context of Beste Buren, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Flanders-Netherlands Cultural Treaty, and has been made possible by the Mondriaan Fund. Participants are Wolf Aartsen, Nel Aerts, Nick Andrews, Carla Arocha & Stephane Schraenen, Morgan Betz, Pim Blokker, Christian Bors & Marius Ritiu, Aline Bouvy, Vaast Colson, Kaleb de Groot, Voebe de Gruyter, Gijs Frieling, Lieven Hendriks, Gerard Herman, Daniel Hofstede, Kasper Jacobs, Ingmar König, Marius Lut, Michèle Matyn, Julien Meert, Nadia Naveau, Tom Poelmans, Denie Put, Guy Rombouts, Bas Schevers, Maaike Schoorel, Jóhanna Kristbjörg Sigurðardóttir, Dennis Tyfus, Ruth van Beek, Bart van Dijck, Bonno van Doorn, Floor van Keulen, Erwin van Looveren, Sharon van Overmeiren, Ola Vasiljeva, Sarah Verbeek.

TABLES (TAFELS)

This year sees the celebration of 20 years of the Flanders-Holland Cultural Alliance. In the context of this 20th anniversary, the Mondriaan Fund and Flanders Arts Institute have organized Tables (Tafels), a presentation at Art Rotterdam and Art Brussels of 80 artists’ books and exceptional art books from the Netherlands and Flanders. The books were selected by Maaike Lauwaert (curator, art critic) and Luc Derycke (designer, publisher). The books are presented on a table designed by Hendrik-Jan Hunneman. At Art Brussels, this presentation of artists’ books can be seen in the mezzanine of Hall 3. In addition, an hour will be provided for statements on the importance of artists’ books and the circumstances in which they are created. These statements will be by Phillip Van den Bossche (Mu.ZEE), Nikolaas Demoen (Publisher, Posture), Astrid Vostermans (Publisher, Valiz), Johannes Schwartz (artist), Bas Vroege (curator), Johan Pas (writer and art critic) and Koenraad Dedobbeleer (artist). With the support of the Mondriaan Fund, Netherlands.

Pierre Bismuth COLL/NNECTION & FLEX DESK FOR ING

Coll/nnection (2014), created for ING by Pierre Bismuth, is a unique interactive project between the ING Belgium Collection and ING employees who connect with one of the 2500 works of art in the collection. Linked to an employee, the work becomes a social, dynamic element, revealing how art lives and evolves through an individual’s experience. The work circulates through social networks – sometimes beyond the perimeters of the bank. In return, it highlights the employee’s role in the bank. Each work has a label describing the artist, the work, and any information the respective employee provides about his role at the bank. Instead of simply inviting employees to take an interest in the art, the works draw attention to the employees. Each benefits from the other’s networks. The works were randomly assigned. To avoid the combination being decided by personal taste, Bismuth had a computer programme determine the pairings, and the display of the works at the bank reflects these relationships. Only works connected to employees are shown, placed near the employee’s workplace. Over 400 ING employees are participating in the project. For Art Brussels 2015, ING extends this adventure, giving visitors an overview of the project. ING is moreover offering them a chance to take part, to connect with a work in the collection. In the same interdependent manner as he used for Coll/nnection, Bismuth has created Flex Desk, an installation in which the mobility of the works requires the mobility of a section of the bank. The Marnix Avenue ING offices have been moved to Art Brussels, together with the works and the personnel connected to them, who will continue to work as if they were still at the bank.

Each year, Art Brussels invites HISK, The Higher Institute for Fine Arts Advanced Studies & Practice-based Research in Visual Arts programme, in Ghent, to stage the HISK Café, conceiving an artistic project to give visitors an opportunity to become interactively acquainted with the HISK artists and their work. This year, HISK introduces a menu representing their twenty-six artists. This menu serves as a catalogue distributed to the cafe visitors. From it, visitors can select a work by one of the artists. When chosen, the work will be unveiled and/or presented, in the form of a photograph, object, film, conversation, performance, etc. The idea is to create a ‘one-on-one’ situation between the customer and the artist. Unselected works remain hidden. This year’s HISK participants in the Art Brussels HISK Café are: Loukia Alavanou (GR), Leyla Aydoslu (DE), Flurin Bisig (CH), Laure Cottin Stefanelli (FR), Raffaella Crispino (IT), Lydia Debeer (BE), Tramaine de Senna (USA), Indrikis Gelzis (LV), Minja Gu (KR), Alejandra Hernández (CO), Lien Hüwels (BE), Jóhanna Kristbjörg Sigurðardóttir (IS), Marie-Fleur Lefebvre (FR), Ella Littwitz (DE), Almudena Lobera (ES), Oleg Matrokhin (RU), Pedro Moraes (BR), Joke Raes (BE), Jura Shust (BY), Diana Tamane (LV), Anne Van Boxelaere (BE), Emmanuel Van der Auwera (BE), Klaas Vanhee (BE), Egon Van Herreweghe (BE), Benjamin Verhoeven (BE) and Wieske Wester (NL). HISK Café visitors can make artistic discoveries while enjoying a drink and a moment of relaxation. It is one of the most lively and informal fixtures of the fair, drawing many artists and a busy young crowd. This year’s competition winners, designing coasters and ads for the Art Brussels Fair Guide are: Minja Gu (Duvel coaster) and Lydia Debeer (Bosteels ad).

THE ART BRUSSELS BAG by Jacques LizÈNE THE GENETIC INTERROGATION. A 2014 REMAKE OF A SMALL MEDIOCRE PAINTING IN 1964-STYLE We all know how fecund Jacques Lizène is. Admittedly, the term seems somewhat inappropriate, since 1965, when the Little Master decided not to procreate, a position he confirmed in 1970 by means of his Vasectomie (sculpture interne) / Vasectomy (Internal Sculpture), and which decision has been the very foundation of all his Art d’Attitude/Attitude Art. But this is how it is: Lizène has developed an impressive body of ideas, which he expresses through his ‘remakes’, produced in a style he describes as talentless, making critical judgment impossible. Artist, painter, designer, videographer and comic conceptual artist, Lizène continues to produce wonky, uninteresting, vaguely humorous and usually stupid works that nonetheless remain rooted in a radical critique of the art system. He has recently had solo exhibitions at Muhka in Antwerp (2009), the Passage de Retz in Paris (curated by Jean de Loisy, 2011) and the Narodowe Museum in Szczecin, Poland (2014). Jacques Lizène is represented by Galerie Nadja Vilenne, Liège.

FÉDÉRATION WALLONIE BRUXELLES Emmanuel Van der Auwera (born in 1982, lives and works in Brussels) is interested in phenomena that question our relationship with the world, by creating situations that break down and expose their internal logic. He also analyses the influence of some founding myths on the constitution of subjectivity and the identity of our contemporaries. The artist presents a new project called Techno City at the occasion of Art Brussels. The half-man, half-robot figure of Robocop here acts as a prism for a retro-futuristic view of our time. Through a collection of archive documents, objects, and a short film, the exhibition focuses on the emergence and subsequent decline of the city of Detroit, capital of the car industry and techno music.

SCENOGRAPHY / B-ILD This year, Art Brussels has again decided to commission young and promising architects to design the fair environment. B-ILD, in charge of the design of Art Brussels 2015, is an architecture studio that focuses on simplicity in complex environments. Their proposal for Art Brussels applies a lean and sharp vision to the art fair setting during its temporary existence. This scenography activates the unused potential of the Brussels Expo exhibition halls. Architectural interventions have brought hidden levels of the site to life. Two oversized staircases overlooking the booths will reveal a previously undisclosed view of the fairground, leading visitors to a higher level, from which they can discover the grandeur and the true scale of the site. Installing re-usable temporary structures addresses the issue of sustainability and optimizes the potential for re-using materials and building components. Thanks to their durability and economic benefits, scaffolding and recycled materials form the cornerstone of the design. The design process has been enriched by research into new ways of employing underexploited materials, while at the same time, the interventions acknowledge the limited time that the design will be in use. Recycled materials are found throughout the fair, in subtle, yet surprising applications. B-ILD is an architecture studio established in Brussels in 2009. B-ILD refers to the phonetic and written resemblance between (das) Bild and (to) build. B-ILD are: Kelly Hendriks, Bruno Despierre, Brenda De Neve and Stephanie Vander Goten. www.B-ILD.com

NICK HANNES Each year, the Art Brussels visual campaign is entrusted to a different artist as a special project. This year Nick Hannes (°1974, BE) has been responsible for conceptualising the visual identity of the fair through a photographic series shot in Brussels. Nick Hannes graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent in 1997. After working as a freelance photojournalist for ten years, he decided to fully concentrate on long term documentary projects, resulting in several books and exhibitions. In 2009 he published his first book, Red Journey, a documentary about transition in the former Soviet Union. His next book, Tradities (Traditions), 2011, took a close look at traditions and party culture in Flanders. In 2014, after four years of travelling the Mediterranean shores extensively, he completed a new book project and series of photographic works called Mediterranean. The Continuity of Man. This is a kaleidoscopic portrait of the Mediterranean region, in which various contemporary issues are highlighted, such as urbanization, mass tourism, migration and conflict. This body of work was the subject of a major exhibition that took place this year at FoMu – the FotoMuseum in Antwerp; a part of the work shown in this exhibition will travel to the 5th Thessaloniki Biennial, Greece, later this year. Hannes’ work has been exhibited at BOZAR – Centre for Fine Arts (Brussels, BE), Museum Dr. Guislain (Ghent, BE), Flanders Center (Osaka), Breda Photo International Festival (Breda, NL), Visa pour l’Image (Perpignan, FR), Kaunas Photo (Lithuania), Biennale Internationale de l’Image (Nancy, FR), Cosmos Gallery (Paris, FR), amongst other venues. In 2009 and 2013 he was awarded the Nikon Press Photo Award Belgium. Hannes teaches photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Ghent (BE) since 2008. www.continuityofman.com

Germaine kruip I SEE A LANDSCAPE (2004-2015)

The text deals with the phenomenon of the mind’s eye, on seeing in relationship to remembering and imagining. This idea is present in most of Kruip’s works, partially as a subtle undercurrent and at times very clearly. In the performance I see a Landscape (2004 – 2015) a performer, who is not recognizable as such, walks around the exhibition space. The visitor does not know if this text – a loose transcription of a text from Éloge de l’amour (2001) by Jean-Luc Godard – is part of the exhibition. She could just as well have been another visitor, speaking to herself. Still the words resonate: they evoke a subtle shift of perspective, relating to ways of seeing the artworks on show, the context of the fair and the world outside. Germaine Kruip’s artworks often take the form of “architectural interventions.” Manipulating daylight with geometric, kinetic sculptures, these interventions transform each site into a stage, with the audience as actors in a play of substantive absence. Kruip was educated at the DasArts, Amsterdam, NL (1998-1999) and Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, NL (2000-2001). She is represented by G262 Sofie Van de Velde.
