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.

The first steps towards a Belgian Node

Vision Forum is currently developing a new node in Belgium in collaboration with Enough Room for Space which is run by Marjolijn Dijkman and Martin vanden Eynde. The node will be run by Marjolijn together with Kristof van Gestel and will be looking at objects from quite an interesting starting point. The node will have an international slant, though it will be operating out of Brussels.

Enough Room for Space is located next to an orchard (see picture) where there is an abundance of apples, pears and some chestnuts and prunes. Marjolijn and Martin want to make pickled fruit and new fruit alcohol. So, let us know if you have the knowledge about these things. There is also a wonderful herb garden next door.
