About Antwerp Art
Antwerp Art connects the most relevant
actors in the Antwerp contemporary art
scene: from established galleries and
museums to upcoming initiatives. You
can find the contemporary art agenda on
our website, subscribe to our bimonthly
newsletter, and follow us on social media.
Antwerp Art publishes a yearly INDEX,
to help you find your way in Antwerp’s
contemporary art scene.
Antwerp as an epicenter
for contemporary art
Conveniently situated between Brussels,
Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Cologne,
Antwerp harbors a dynamic art scene with
international radiation. Antwerp's typical
feature is a distinct 'DIY'-do-it-yourselfattitude, in which perceived separations
between the established art scene and
upcoming initiatives dissolve. Out of this
background, the Antwerp Art scene is
in constant movement: new discoveries
develop into artists or exhibition spaces
of note, and often spread their wings far
across the Belgian borders.

Luc Deleu and T.O.P. Office –
Tabula Rasa
‘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.

Based upon children’s game ‘I spy with

her new exhibition an insight on how she
specifically looks at things. Unexpected
details in sculptures in her studio suddenly attract her attention and become the
basis to create new sculptures. She will

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.

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.”

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.

Nassermanns second exhibition at the

are more inwardly than the works on
show last year, being the result of a
spiritual liberating purification, which
goes closely together with his thinking
about art and the role of art in our life.
Nassermann works with video, digital
compositions and sound. At this moment
he is participating in the Industrial Art

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 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.

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.

Uecker – Zero and Now
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.

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.

Emmy’s World
For five years photographer Hanne van

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.

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.

Jeremiah Day (1974) is re-examining
political conf licts and resistances through
unfolding their subjective traces and
contexts through photography, speech and
body language. His approach to cultural practice has been widely inf luenced
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.

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.

‘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.

Mr. Make-Do and Tique –
Ten Interventions
‘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.

Anton Van Hertbruggen
Born in 1990, Anton Van Hertbruggen
is an illustrator/artist living and working
around Antwerp, Belgium. By filtering
his fascination for suburban life, nature,
Flaming Lips-concerts, zoology and the
American West and mixing it up with
scenes out of his everyday life, he puts
together his own spacious, personal and
slightly utopian environments. 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.

in over twenty years, and the first stage

‘Summer Snow’ – Anne-Marie van
Sprang’s upcoming project – was inspired
by the Antwerp Snow Sculptures of 1511
and 1772. Snow was yet another precious
medium for late mediaeval artists and
their snow statues were both popular and
prestigious. ‘Transforming the space’ and
‘narrativity’ are evident themes in van
Sprang’s exhibition.

Inc. From Luxury Product to

With ‘Ukraine’, FOMU brings a comprehensive retrospective of the work of Boris
Mikhailov (UKR, °1938) to Belgium.
The exhibition assembles over 300 works
focused on Mikhailov’s homeland of
Ukraine. His depictions, descriptions and
distortions of his country date from the
1960s up to the recent Euromaidan revolution in Kiev.
‘Taking Off’ is the story of a failed
marriage. Replete with the sexual frustrations and voyeurism that characterised
the relationship, the exhibition introduces
us to Henry’s obsessions with photography. His wife has lived under his yoke
for years, posing for his extravagant nude
studies. Mariken Wessels (NL, °1963)
acquired the complete collection and
reconstructs Henry’s marriage,
work and life.
Photography Inc. tells the story
of photography and the photographic
industry from the early years through to
the present day. Photography Inc. examines turning points in the technological
history of photography and their impact
on the user. They’re all here: from the first
photographs – daguerreotypes – to today’s
selfies. Moreover, all the items on show
come from the FOMU collection.

Vaast Colson with ‘Still some cream on

with a publication that will be presented
during the Antwerp Art Weekend.
Focusing on the notion of abstraction
in twentieth-century and contemporary
Belgian art and the varying sources of
inf luence and inspiration among the
artists of two generations, renowned
Belgian painter Luc Tuymans has selected
fifteen artists whose work
either articulates a relationship to abstraction or takes as its cue the definition of
abstraction.
In situ is for medium-scale monographic exhibitions by some of the most
significant early-and mid-career artists
from around the world working today.
Aslan Gaisumov is developing an oeuvre
that feeds on, but also transforms and
transcends, personal and collective memory. Gaisumov is loyal to the culture he
was born into, but also willing and able to
formulate his own stance towards it.

“I have always liked painting
glasses. They cause a kind of distortion
of the face, which we cannot see directly through glasses. They’re a strange
instrument but also an almost universal
reality. The banality of glasses takes on
a different significance when you paint
them.” Luc Tuymans, 2015

Sadik Kwaish Alfraji –
Ali’s Boat
The Red Star Line Museum hosts ‘Ali’s
Boat‘ by the Iraqi-Dutch artist Sadik
Kwaish Alfraji in 2016. This installation
focuses on people’s universal dream to
travel, go elsewhere and escape their daily
reality. The artist drew inspiration from
a letter from Baghdad that contained a
drawing made by his 11-year– old nephew
Ali.
“It doesn’t matter where you live or
what you have, you always try to f lee from
some conditions of your existence. So the
boat of Ali is my boat, your boat, any one
of us has this boat. It is a crystal ball that
takes us to another place. It is one of our
human conditions to escape but we never
get it because deeply we want to escape
our existence. However, outside of that
there is nothing.” Sadik Kwaish Alfraji

Haren Noman – Little HISK
Until 2006 the Higher Institute for Fine
Arts (HISK) occupied a site in Antwerp’s
‘Groen Kwartier’, a fact well remembered
by many of those who live in the city.
Now, the last remnant of the old HISK,
the gatehouse of the former Military
Hospital, is the venue for “Little HISK”,
an exhibition that recalls the times before
the institute was moved from Antwerp
to Ghent. The exhibition presents works
by five former and five current HISK
students and is curated by Paul Poelmans
(CAPS), Eva Steynen (Deviation (s)),
Bart Vanderbiesen (Base Alpha Gallery),
Sofie Van de Velde (Sofie Van de Velde
Gallery) and Ulrike Lindmayr (LLS 387).

56 Soft Focus Institute
Group show – Make the Art
World Great Again
The inside joke. The punch line. Critical
humor. The term "Make America Great
Again" was created in 1979 during a
time in which the United States was
suffering from a worsening economy at
home marked by high unemployment and
inf lation. The slogan was spoofed by the
media and the entertainment business in
various humorous ways.
Soft Focus Institute responds with a (not
necessarily political) adaption of the the
spoof "Make The Art World Great Again".
SFI is a shape shifting Center for Artistic
Wellbeing of Uninitiated and Devoted Beholders (CAWUDB) that seeks to invigorate the relation between contemporary art
and community. It researches expectations
and patterns in the art world, striving for
an autonomy outside of existing concepts.

HOW TO GET AROUND
IN ANTWERP?
Antwerp is a pocket-sized city. Many of
the attractions are within walking or biking
distance of each other. Another way of
getting around the city is on the trams and
buses of De Lijn.
Antwerp has an excellent
public transport system, taking you from
one cluster of art spaces to the next
epicenter of galleries. Next to this, you can
use a city bike, the Velo.
VELO
www.velo-antwerpen.be
Move fast within the Singel of Antwerp
and on Linkeroever with the bikes from
Velo Antwerpen. Velo also has a free app,
availavle for iOS and Android.
With a day pass, week pass or year
card you can make short rides between the
different Velo-stations. Read all about it,
and find all Velo stations on the website.
A day pass is only
3,90 Eur.
Use the bike for a whole
week for
9 Eur.
TRAM AND BUS
www.delijn.be
Plan your route on their website,
or via their free app.
Tip: buy your tram or bus ticket
in a point of pre-sale (newsagent’s,
supermarket, the vending machines at the
various stops or in the visitor centres of
Visit Antwerp), where tickets are cheaper.
You can also buy an Antwerp City
Card, which includes the use of public
transport in the city for the time your card
