Hydrarchy: Power and Resistance at Sea* is a group exhibition that approaches historical and contemporary examinations of the sea and the offshore as contested cultural, political, legal and socio-economic territories. Focusing on specific events, situations and mythologies attached to past and recent maritime history, the works address power relations at sea and the forms of resistance and survival developed as a response.
Hydrarchy: Power and Resistance at Sea brings together artists whose work explores themes encompassing colonialism and the slave trade, commerce, sea tourism and offshore finance, as well as maritime folk history, piracy and the proverbially tyrannical figure of the captain. While not always explicitly referenced in the works, the ship, as the ultimate container and enabler of these activities, histories and relations, stands as the unifying element of the exhibition.

DELPHINE DEGUISLAGE in: '30/30 IMAGE ARCHIVE PROJECT', MINUS SPACE, NEW YORK (USA)
26 June - 31 July 2010
MINUS SPACE is delighted to present the first installment of the Brussels, Begium-based Center for Contemporary Non-Objective Art's (CCNOA) most recent initiative 30/30 - Image Archive Project (IAP).
Conceived by artist Tilman, the exhibition will feature a diverse group of small works by 9 international artists, including Delphine Deguislage (Belgium), Clemens Hollerer (Austria), Atsuo Hukuda (Japan), Andrew Huston (USA), Camila Oliveira-Fairclough (Brazil/United Kingdom), Ingrid Maria Sinibaldi (France), Emmanuel Van der Meulen (France), Jan Maarten Voskuil (The Netherlands), and Lars Wolter (Germany).
With 30/30-IAP, CCNOA seeks to establish a collective collection that will showcase the mesmerizing breadth and depth of approaches reductive artists are currently pursuing on the international level. The project's title refers to the size restriction for all works to be included in CCNOA's emerging registry, which is set at 30 x 30 cm with a maximum depth of 5 cm. This will enable CCNOA to easily travel the project worldwide (museum in a suitcase).
30/30-IAP is administered by CCNOA in a joint effort with artists CCNOA has collaborated with over the past 12 years, as well as newly invited artists from around the globe. CCNOA is currently planning forthcoming 30/30-IAP exhibitions at artist-run venues in Australia, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States.
Open: Fridays & Saturdays, 12.00 - 18.00

DELPHINE DEGUISLAGE in: ‘URBI & ORBI - BIENNALE DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE ED DE LA VILLE’, CHARLEVILLE-MEZIERES (FR)
Openings : Friday 4, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 June
Opening Friday 4 June, 14h30 Delphine Deguislage in Cinema Métropolis, Charleville-Mézières (FR)
5 June - 5 July 2010
5° édition du Festival Urbi & Orbi, Biennale de la Photographie et De La Ville
simultanément à Sedan (FR), Charleville-Mézières (FR), la Vrigne-aux-Bois (FR) & Bouillon (BE)
Le projet imaginé pour la biennale Urbi & Orbi par la commissaire belge Anne Wauters, repose sur la participation majoritaire d'artistes français et belges, rejoints par quelques artistes d'autres nationalités.
Le festival de photographie Urbi & Orbi a, depuis ses débuts, été axé sur le thème de la ville. L'association Urbi & Orbi travaille en effet depuis de nombreuses années à défendre et à promouvoir l'important patrimoine sedanais. Les organisateurs ont, dans la foulée, lancé ce festival qui prolongeait l'effort de revitalisation de la cité en ses quartiers plus fragiles, souhaitant peu après la collaboration de la municipalité de Charleville-Mézières, toute proche.
Aujourd'hui étendue à trois agglomérations françaises, la biennale passe en outre la frontière belge pour s'établir également à Bouillon, sur les rives de la Semois.
La majeure partie de la biennale aura lieu du 5 juin au 25 juillet avec une période entre le 5 et le 27 juin durant laquelle la totalité des expositions sera accessible. Soit une quinzaine de manifestations programmées en des lieux spécialement choisis pour l'événement et qui parfois s'affirment par leur caractère singulier, ou en extérieur, privilégiant dès lors les grands formats et le dialogue avec l'espace public.
L'inauguration, fixée au samedi 5 juin, permettra au grand public non seulement de découvrir les expositions mais aussi de participer à des événements festifs et originaux en rapport avec la ligne adoptée pour cette nouvelle édition.
Il s'agira en effet de montrer un des nouveaux visages de la ville actuelle. Analysée, sondée, enregistrée, fictionalisée, la cité a été au centre de nombreuses manifestations photographiques (mois de la photo et autres biennales) depuis plus de vingt ans. Le public y a pris conscience de l'importance du paysage urbain, mais aussi des problèmes liés à l'architecture et au tissu urbain, aux clivages sociaux, aux crises d'identité, aux modifications urbanistiques, au sentiment de solitude voire de rejet, au développement anarchique de la périphérie, à la confrontation aux non-lieux etc.

VAAST COLSON in: ‘Ontmoeting (Rencontre) M HKA IN RABAT’, MAROKKO
22 May - 22 June 2010
NL/ 'Ontmoeting: Een keuze uit de collectie van het M HKA' tijdens Mawazine Festival
De tentoonstelling Ontmoeting toont kunstwerken uit de collectie van het M HKA, het Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst in Antwerpen (België). De selectie van de werken werd bepaald door een groep vrijwilligers van Moussem vzw die een jaar lang nadachten over wat hedendaagse kunst voor hen kon betekenen. Het is de grootste tentoonstelling van hedendaagse kunst die Marokko ooit gekend heeft. Dat is niet alleen belangrijk voor Marokko, maar ook voor Vlaanderen in het algemeen en voor Moussem en het M HKA in het bijzonder. Want door een dergelijke verrijkende samenwerking op internationaal niveau en het spotlicht op hedendaagse beeldende kunst te richten, krijgen de kunstenaars én het publiek de kans om elkaar te leren kennen op een manier die zijn voorgaande niet kent.
FR/ Rencontre: M HKA @ Rabat pendant Mawazine Festival
L'exposition Ontmoeting (Rencontre) présente des œuvres d'art de la collection du M HKA, le Musée d'Art contemporain à Anvers (Belgique). La sélection des œuvres a été réalisée par un groupe de bénévoles du Moussem qui a réfléchi pendant un an à ce que l'art contemporain représentait pour eux. Cette exposition est la plus grande exposition internationale d'art contemporain que le Maroc ait jamais connue. C'est non seulement important pour le Maroc mais aussi pour la Belgique en général et pour le Moussem et le M HKA en particulier. C'est grâce à une collaboration aussi enrichissante au niveau international et la mise à l'honneur des arts plastiques contemporains que les artistes ET le public ont cette opportunité inédite de se rencontrer et d'apprendre à se connaître.

VAAST COLSON in: ‘I'm Not Here. An Exhibition Without Francis Alÿs’, DE APPEL, AMSTERDAM (NL)
Opening 16 April, 18h
17 April - 6 June 2010
Group Exhibition, Curated by de Appel Curatorial Programme 09/10
The participants of de Appel Curatorial Programme '09/'10 present the project "I'm Not Here. An Exhibition Without Francis Alÿs". The title is inspired by "I'm Not There" (2007) a biographical film directed by Todd Haynes about the iconic American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Six actors depict different facets of Dylan's life and his public persona while Dylan himself is absent from the film. In reference to this, "I'm Not Here. An Exhibition Without Francis Alÿs" is a solo exhibition that takes the form of a group exhibition in which works by the contributing artists evoke the atmosphere of the work of an absent Francis Alÿs. It invites the audience to think about Alÿs and challenge the privileging of presence over absence.
Participating artists: Mounira Al Solh (LB/NL), Vaast Colson (BE), Luisa Cunha (PT), Grier Edmundson (USA/UK), André Guedes (PT), Gustav Metzger (UK), Tatiana Mesa (CU), Roman Ondak (SK), Pak Sheung Chuen (HK/CN), Wilfredo Prieto (CU), Ariel Schlesinger (IL), David Sherry (UK)

DELPHINE DEGUISLAGE in : 'My eyes keep me in trouble', LA STATION, NICE (FR)
Opening 30 April, 18h
30 April - 5 June 2010
MY EYES KEEP ME IN TROUBLE is the title of a song with lyrics and music by blues legend R.L. Burnside. The seemingly innocent yet conscious title of this blues song triggered the idea to form or formulate a dialogue between the different positions and concerns of a number of artists whose practice revolves around the idea of non-representational, reductive or concrete art as the essential approach towards art-making. The thoughts of Josef Albers on the 'reductive' - 'to open the eyes' or 'the eye is thinking' - immediately came to mind. These ideas, deeply grounded in the history of non-representational art or more precisely of reductive art, and their ongoing influence on artists today, the crossovers with other art movements and even the resurgence of the idea of the 'concrete' are the givens for this exhibition project. Curated by CCNOA.
Participating artists: Massimiliano Baldassarri (IT / CH), John Beech (UK / US), Francisco Da Mata (PT / CH), Delphine Deguislage (BE), Alexandra dementieva (RU / BE) & Aernoudt Jacobs (BE), Ward Denys (BE), Aurélie Godard (F), Michelle Grabner (US), Clemens Hollerer (AT), Andrew Huston (US), Kyle Jenkins (AU), Jim Lee (US), Guillaume Millet (F), Camila Oliveira Fairclough (BR / UK / F), Léopoldine Roux (F), Ingrid Maria Sinibaldi (F), Esther Stocker (IT / AT), Tilman (DE / BE / US, Wilson Trouvé (F), Emmanuel Van Der Meulen (F), Jan van der Ploeg (NL), Jan Maarten Voskuil (NL), Emmanuelle Villard (F), Lars Wolter (DE).

VAAST COLSON in: THE STATE OF THINGS, NATIONAL ART MUSEUM OF CHINA, BEIJING
1 May - 30 May 2010
The "State of Things -- Exhibition of the Contemporary Art Exchange between China and Belgium" is planned jointly by the director of the National Art Museum of China Fan Di'an, the renowned Belgium artist Luc Tuymans and the renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The main purpose of the exhibition is to carry out a discussion of art between China and Belgium, which will center on how to make the contemporary art to avoid getting into the exotic or pure novelty-hunting mode, and focus on the academic value of the contemporary visual art as the product of the contemporary culture. The dialogue of the exhibition theme first starts between the important artists and the planners of the different cultures of the two countries. It selects the successful artists in the art concept and the methodology of China and Belgium to present the sameness and differences in the art creation of the two countries. The way and perspective of exhibition planning are unique in the history of exhibition. The exhibition of the "State of Things" will be held at the National Art Museum of China from May 1 to June 1, 2010 after its success at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium under the framework of the Europalia Art Festival in October 2009. This is the academic renewal of the exhibition, and also reflects the friendship and progress of the two countries in the academic and cultural exchange. The "State of Things - Exhibition of the Contemporary Art Exchange between China and Belgium" is a large and comprehensive exchange activity of the contemporary art of China and Belgium, and also an academically pioneer exhibition for the contemporary art. The exhibition selects 25 Chinese artists and 24 Belgian artists, and includes about 120 works. It is a large cultural exchange program which is unique from the planning to the implementation.

MICHIEL CEULERS solo at: 'MY NAME IS NOT A GAME', SECONDroom, ANTWERPEN (BE)
Saturday 22 May 18 - 21h
SECONDroom Antwerpen begint vanaf april 2010 aan haar eerste seizoen in de nieuwe ruimte aan de Ernest Van Dijckkaai 4. Dit initiatief wordt getrokken door Christophe Floré, Tanja Vrancken en Dominique Somers. Het principe van de wekelijkse vernissage-expo blijft hier behouden. Elke zaterdag tussen 18u en 21u krijgt een andere kunstenaar carte blanche om te experimenteren. Deze voortdurende hernieuwing van tentoonstellingen verleent SECONDroom een particulier karakter. Omdat de duur van de expositie beperkt wordt tot een vernissage krijgt ze de impact van een evenement. De intimiteit van de kleine ruimte en de aanwezigheid van de kunstenaar creëren een informeel platform voor tal van uitwisselingen en ontmoetingen.

Opening Sunday 18 April, 11h
18 April - 22 May 2010
Robin Vermeersch brengt voor deze tentoonstelling acht jonge kunstenaars samen die elk vanuit hun eigen invalshoek in interactie treden met de ruimte en met elkaar. 8*1 staat in het teken van artistieke ontmoetingen. In CC De Steiger en in het Stadsmuseum 't Schippershof brengen zij schilderijen, tekeningen, animatievideo, sculpturen en installaties die nu eens architecturaal of abstract, dan weer organisch, intiem of figuratief zijn. In het Stadsmuseum wordt werk geïntegreerd in de bestaande collecties, terwijl in CC De Steiger een reusachtige constructie in de tentoonstellingszaal de basis vormt voor de presentatie van de kunstwerken. De acht kunstenaars brengen hun persoonlijke, artistieke werelden bijeen en installeren hun werken samen in één ruimte.
Participating artists: Ruth van Haren Noman, Robin Vermeersch, Hans Demeulenaere, Marc Nagtzaam, Tinus Vermeersch, Emmanuel Depoorter, Dirk Zoete, Lysandre Begijn

DELPHINE DEGUISLAGE in: ‘NEPOTISTS, OPPORTUNISTS, FREAKS, FRIENDS AND STRANGERS INTERSECTING IN THE GREY ZONE’, Z33, HASSELT (BE)
07 February - 02 May
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.

DELPHINE DEGUISLAGE in: ‘JE = ICI’, ALBUS LUX GALLERY, ROOSENDAAL (NL)
Opening Sunday 21 March
22 March - 29 April
For his second show at Galerie Albus Lux, Truc-Anh (1983, based in Brussels) invited eight artists from Belgium, The United Kingdom, Switzerland, USA and France to present a piece of work around this enigma : JE = ICI. (I = HERE).
"JE = ICI is a sentence I often think about when I'm front of my paintings to envisage them. It talks about my ever changing state of mind. Through my practice I understood that identity is not the result from a definitive choice (be it conceptual or esthetical) but rather of the continuous slide that simultaneously brings me closer or further from these conceptions. All these contradictions define, at the very same time, the complexe space of identity. From this perspective, I wanted to invite extremely various artists from all fields of artistic media (sculpture, video, writing, performance..) to work, interpret, appropriate and transform themselves this fundamental enigma."

SCREENING OF "GÉNÉRIQUE", B/W VIDEO LOOP, 2008
Program by Clément Dirié for Bureau Des Vidéos
«Something Hot», «No More Drama», «The Sky Around Your Eyes», «See My Pics»... Phrases slogans, paroles de chansons, extraits de publicité ?, spams, fantaisies verbales défilent en blanc sur l'écran noir, à des vitesses et cadences différentes, se mélangeant pour tisser un réseau de sens toujours plus complexe ou plus absurde, selon les points de vue et notre degré d'attention. Ironiquement intitulée Générique, cette vidéo dresse une liste en mouvement des mots et expressions qui peuplent nos vies quotidiennes, abreuvés que nous sommes de messages en tout genre. Ces messages, ce sont ceux que Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, artiste français né en 1978 et installé à Bruxelles, appose habituellement sur la surface de ces tableaux depuis une dizaine d'années maintenant. Et que pour l'occasion, il applique sur le fond noir de l'écran vidéo, en les déplaçant de l'image fixe à l'image en mouvement.
La relation entre les arts visuels et l'écriture est ancienne et Jean-Baptiste Bernadet, dans une partie de son travail, en dessine une nouvelle modalité, se servant des mots pour instaurer [un] dialogue à trois, pour faire de la mise en scène en quelque sorte». Il explique : «J'utilise des mots et des phrases qui peuvent être compris à la fois comme récit personnel, slogan publicitaire et/ou parole de chanson universelle. Cette ambiguïté permet de ne se laisser enfermer ni par les mots ni par "l'expression d'un soi" ni, enfin, par une dénonciation de la saturation publicitaire, mais d'ironiser sur la critique politique comme sur l'expression romantique.» En un sens, cette utilisation à vocation plurielle confère à sa peinture, genre séculaire, une ouverture réelle en en faisant un espace de projection(s), et, dans le cas de l'image animée, un générique que chacun peut s'approprier pour prendre justement au mot les propositions de l'artiste.

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.

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

In their work, artists TUE GREENFORT (*1973, Copenhagen / Berlin), SAN KELLER (*1971, Zurich) and
KLAUS WEBER (*1967, Berlin) humorously reinterpret existing societal and ecologic circumstances for
their own purposes. They redirect commercial, ecologic and economic cycles and give them better
purposes than those permitted by their worldly existence.
