Ortho Graphe is an exhibition project, first based on a drawing from a Joey Beltram‘s vinyl record. The original drawing is used to create a new range of sculptures and installations linked to the definition of techno music. Patterns and repetitions cross all over the galery space as a response to multiplicity of techno loops produced on a vinyl record. Sculptures and installations by Xavier Mary.
Sounds by Marcus Vector and Xavier Mary. Xavier Mary lives and works in Bruxelles.

MEDIUM RESISTANCE – REVOLUTIONARY TENDENCIES IN PRINT AND CRAFT

Filed under: Art contemporain, Design, Graphisme, Peinture - Illustration | Tags: |

Medium Resistance examines contemporary works of craft and print that resist old-fashioned divisions of high art and artisanship, reassessing the mediums’ expressive, communicative, and material possibilities. Ceramic multiples and posters, graphic digital images and books, to name just a few examples, straddle the lines between art, craft, and mass production, exploring each format’s potential for participation and dissemination, aesthetic, social, and technical labor.
Selection of artists and websites: Andrée-Anne Dupuis-Bourret, Leslie Mutchler, Carl Pope, Bill Rankin and Francesc Ruiz.

The Ice Box, Philadelphia. 03.03.2010 > 04.04.2010.

C’est sous les ailes de la Needcompany, basée à Bruxelles (photo: The Porcelain Project) que Grace Ellen Barkey produit depuis 1992 ses propres spectacles, qui se situent à l’intersection du théâtre, de la danse, de la performance et de l’art plastique. Ce mélange explosif, au sein duquel le rôle de la plasticienne Lott Lemm est essentiel, se retrouve dans Cette porte est trop petite (pour un ours) actuellement en tournée européenne.

Fidèle au principe des cartes blanches lancées il y a quelques saisons déjà, Grand-Hornu Images invite les jeunes designers belges, basés à Bruxelles, Marina Bautier et Nicolas Bovesse à investir ensemble l’Aile nord du Grand-Hornu. À l’instar de Xavier Lust ou de Sylvain Willenz précédemment, ils développeront une scénographie qui dévoilera tout à la fois leurs créations, leur sensibilité et leur univers créatif.

STEPHAN BALLEUX – SUI GENERIS

Filed under: Art contemporain, Peinture - Illustration | Tags: , , |

The first part of the exhibition opens up to a prop wall covered in black and white images, a set of watercolour drawings depicting the colonial times. The second part of the exhibition radically contrasts with the narrative of the first one. It is composed of charcoal and pastel drawings. Balleux’s works here take the shape of organic forms that are set up within different interior settings.

TERRITORIES OF TIME

Filed under: Art contemporain, Vidéo – Film | Tags: , , |

Les vidéos montrées dans Territories of Time abordent la notion du temps répétitif. Malgré les habitudes qui, inéluctablement, rythment notre quotidien, il n’y a pas un instant identique à un autre. Tout est toujours neuf. Dans cette exposition qui rassemble sept artistes, l’image répétée est montrée et observée avec acuité, absurdité, mélancolie, violence. Artistes: Ignasi Aballí, Absalon, David Claerbout, Lieven de Boeck, Sofia Hultén, Alfredo Jaar, Bruce Nauman.

Meessen De Clercq, Bruxelles. Territories Of Time. 12.03.2010 > 17.04.2010.
