Kristof Vrancken – The Sustainist Gaze at Z33
Z33 in Hasselt presents the first major retrospective of Kristof Vrancken in which ecology, activism and photography meet each other. The portrait of Vrancken in a lab coat, studying an unknown specimen in a post-industrial landscape sums it all up. There’s the part of the mad professor that has led him to drink, not without danger, his selfmade concoctions made out of plants growing on industrial wastelands. But there’s above all this willingness to enter into an intense relationship with that landscape for which he advocates a more sustainable relationship with nature…. Read More
Alexandra Dementieva in a galaxy, far, far away…
The starry skies are maybe more than ever the subject of dreams about long distance travel and new encounters. One way of dealing with this is the recently launched Art Spaceship by V-Art. Because although there were recently attempts to declare art as non-essential, it’s clear that it has an important role to play in thinking about and developing the future. Jules Verne or George Méliès are of course great pioneering examples of the important art of science fiction. Today Alexandra Dementieva is one of 21 artists leading the way. Selected by… Read More

Bolero 2021 Stories – Neil Wood
Today’s Bolero 2021 story is that of Neil Wood who decided on an alternative view for his contribution and to turn his newspaper in a horizontal direction. FOXGLOVEThis work examines the idea of alternative realities and how separate worlds co-habit. What is the relationship?

Bolero, with its physical newspaper support, invites a chance confrontation between worlds – in this case a… Read More

Bolero 2021 Stories – Thomas Maestro
Today’s story is that of Thomas Maestro who starts with a quote by George Perec. “The daily newspapers talk of everything except the daily. The papers annoy me , they teach me nothing. What they recount doesn’t concern me, doesn’t ask me questions and doesn’t answer the questions I ask or would like to ask. What’s really going on, what we’re experiencing, the rest, all the rest, where is it? How should we take account of, question, describe what happens every day and recurs everyday: the banal, the quotidian, the obvious, the… Read More
