UNIQUE, BEYOND PHOTOGRAPHY, HANGAR PHOTO ART CENTER, BRUSSELS (BE)

UNIQUE

Beyond photography

19 April — 8 June 2024

With the “Limit Middle East” series by Romane Iskaria

“In the UNIQUE exhibition, we explore 21 projects by artists, half of whom are under 40 and based in Belgium. What unites them is the creative gesture. It’s no longer just the photographic perspective, but the manual labor that is celebrated here. Establishing this physical connection with the artwork results in the creation of unique pieces that defy the norms of analog photography and oppose the reproducibility of digital photography.”

NICCx25 - SMAK GENT group show (BE)

NICC presents for its silver jubilee "NICC x 25," a multilayered event that will takeplace at S.M.A.K. from December 7th to 28th. This event marks a milestone for our artist-run organisation, which has been dedicated to individual artists since 1998. Over the past years, NICC has co-founded initiatives such as Extra City and StudioStart (now known as Morpho), promoted the development of studio policies in Antwerp, and contributed to social security for artists, disseminated modeldocuments to support artists, and emphasised the need for adequate funding for the visual arts, all with the ultimate goal of improving the socio-economic position of visual artists. NICC x 25 reflects a moment in time, in which archive and aspiration converge. Expect a diverse program of performances, screenings, debates, an exhibition and the presentation of a new publication NICCx25 with Stockmans Art Books publisher.

The exhibition - and accompanying public program with lectures and performance - is compiled by Younes Baba-Ali, Céline Mathieu and Kasper De Vos based on the submissions of the open call.

Participating artists are Timo Bonneure & NienkeBaeckelandt, Guillaume Bijl, neighbors, Cel Crabeels, Katinka de Jonge, AyrtonEblé, Sacha Eckes, Romane Iskaria, William Ludwig Lutgens, Michal Luft, LéaMayer, Monali Meher, Lieven Segers, T.I.C., Leendert Van Accoleyen, Thé vanBergen, Pieter Van den Bosch, Kristof Van Gestel, Various Artists, Zeger Vetters.

09.06 > 02.07.23

Vernissage le jeudi 08.06.23 18h - 21h

“L’envie de dépasser ou d’élargir les notions de territoire, d’identité, de genre, d’espace…, à l’aide d’un langage entre réalité et fiction, voilà ce que partagent les artistes aux univers pourtant très différents que la Fondation Carrefour des Arts a choisi d’accueillir cette année. Guidée par ce fil conducteur, la visite de chaque atelier sera l’occasion d’une rencontre singulière avec un.e artiste et son travail réalisé au cours de 9 mois de résidence.”

Exposition collective au côté des artistes Shen Ozdemir, Sylvain Delbecque et Diego Hermann.
