DELPHINE DEGUISLAGE in: ‘NEPOTISTS, OPPORTUNISTS, FREAKS, FRIENDS AND STRANGERS INTERSECTING IN THE GREY ZONE’, Z33, HASSELT (B)
Opening 6 February 2010
07 February - 02 May 2010
Nepotists, opportunists, friends, freaks and strangers intersecting in the grey zone is een project waarin rol -bepalingen, -vervagingen, -verschuivingen binnen en buiten de kunst kruisen. De mise-en-scène in Z33 wordt een mise-en-action waarin de kunstenaar, de bezoeker of het publiek op haar/zijn aanwezigheid, eigen verantwoordelijkheid en potentiële handelen in relatie tot zichzelf en anderen wordt aangesproken. De onbepaalde zone breekt in vorm en structuur buiten het kader van de klassieke presentatieplekken. Zo wordt de witte of zwarte box, grijs of gekleurd, en altijd veranderlijk.

Spring 2010: National Art Museum of China, Beijing China
Curated by Fan Di'an, Luc Tuymans and Ai Weiwei.
With the advent of art for the sake of art, it was believed for a while that artistic practise could escape the mundaneness of society. But is art not always its reflection and a concentrate of society? It is this thought that the contemporary artists Ai Weiwei and Luc Tuymans focus on for the big contemporary art exhibition of Europalia China. Through a discerning selection of recent topical works from Chinese and Belgian artists, the organisers will question this Faustian pact that today unites the artist and the art industry, creation and marketing. They ask how artists respond to this in an evolving China, caught in all its contradictions, and in the Lilliputian Belgium that made Luc Tuymans its most important artist and its dearest herald. The exhibition will then travel to the National Art Museum of China in the spring of 2010.

DELPHINE DEGUISLAGE IS CURRENTLY IN RESIDENCY at WIELS BRUSSEL
August - December 2009
Space, colour and perception are the basic elements of Delphine Deguislage's work. She investigates the interactions between colour and form in drawings, sculptures and installations, in which the spectator's interaction is central. The process of consciousness of perception is the main focus of her work.
Delphine used to observe the city, where she collected patterns, forms or visual phenomena, which she isolated and re-presented in a new, independant context. Nowadays she searches for forms, which appear in the process of constructing and modulating different materials. The result is small objects - mostly elements of imaginated landscapes - that can be placed in the space as installations.
Check out her new website www.delphinedeguislage.com

VAAST COLSON IN: UN-SCENE, WIELS, BRUSSEL
November 28, 2008 - February 22, 2009
During the last ten years we have beheld the emergence of a new generation of artists, in Flanders, in Wallonia and in Brussels. The exhibition focuses on 20 Belgian emerging artists. This first subjective and hypothetical perspective is curated by Wiels (Devrim Bayar, Charles Gohy and Dirk Snauwaert). The survey allows to reveal the lines of force, common traits and the individual journey of each artist of this generation. Thereby the public will discover the preoccupations and the talents of the artist. In doing so, this exhibition will not deceive all of those looking out for the artists of tomorrow.
Artists:
Agentschap/Agence/Agency, Stephan Balleux, Aline Bouvy & John Gillis, Vaast Colson, François Curlet, Michael Dans, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Lucile Desamory, Vincent Geyskens, Tina Gillen, Geert Goiris, Valérie Mannaerts, Xavier Mary, Benoît Platéus, Frédéric Platéus, Jimmy Robert, Gert Robijns, Ivo Provoost & Simona Denicolai, Harald Thys & Jos De Gruyter, Heidi Voet
