Magazine Launch of DiARTgonale #2 and the opening of Enough Room for Space

Hosted by the Cameroonian artist magazine DiARTgonale, the two special editions JAMAN (2012) and ECHOES (2013) will present the outcome of a long-term curatorial endeavour, initiated in 2009 by Vision Forum partner Enough Room for Space (more info about our shared project here).

A presentation at Wiels in Brussels will open with a lecture by Annette Schemmel entitled ‘Sharing Knowledge, a Perspective on Contemporary Art made in Cameroon’. By means of selected art works she will sketch out the complex network of references on which informally taught artists in Douala rely.

Performing Objects - A New Node in Belgium

Zetobject, Kristof Van Gestel



 

Vision Forum is proud to announce the launch of a new node in collaboration with Enough Room for Space in Brussels. Performing Objects will explore objects and their possibilities to act as an interactive performer towards its users or audience. Participating artists include Céline  Butaye, Marjolijn Dijkman, Laura Herman, Hedwig Houben, Bas Schevers, Adrien Tirtaux, Kristof Van Gestel and Herman Van Ingelgem.

Performing Objects is process oriented and will create moments of (critical) reflection concerning peoples' embodiment and relation to the objects surrounding us, moments of creation, collective exploration during site visits and meetings with invited guests. The group will for each meeting invite a participant to reflect and respond to the process of the project and stimulate the conversations and artistic output with his/her reaction. The installations, talks and events can be semi-public and will most likely have different kinds of audiences.
Enough Room for Space's project involving fruit and an orchard that we have mentioned on the blog earlier is taking shape. You will find more info here.
