NEW EXPO COMING UP - REBEL GARDEN Musea Brugge curator Michel Dewilde Art Historian & Curator This exhibition focuses on the impact of humans on nature. I have made this work Radiated as a protest after visiting the Navajo Nation Dinéh community at the Four Corners Reservation, USA. Uranium is a heavy metal. It is chemically toxic radioactive. Depleted uranium consists almost purely of the isotope 238U (99.79%). This isotope has a very long half-life of about 4.5 billion years. We, Europeans use this uranium in our nuclear power plants. Uranium is mined in Arizona by the Native Americans and the people who dig this up get sick, uranium is dangerous and toxic for the food chain. You could call this the new colonization of the rich Western world. So don't buy electricity from Electrabel who support this kind of energy. They are the owners of the power plants. Go for Green Electricity!

Honored by Honoré d'O , Iris Paschalidis and Luk Lambrecht as ‘mysterious artwork’ from the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst S.M.A.K. collection. I would like to thank you all for being part of this Wonderfull exhibition "A Bite Of Knowledge " PXL MAD PXL-Mad Gallery school of Arts Hasselt.
PXL-MAD opent het nieuwe academiejaar met expo 'A Bite of Knowledge' van Honoré d’O, gecureerd door Luk Lambrecht. Honoré d'O (1961) is een kunstenaar van invloed en opereert tussen de plooien en (n)iemandsland van taal en beelden, die in een staat van voorlopigheid en poëzie blijven resoneren.
Voor PXL-MAD School of Arts, spint hij op basis van zijn iconisch werk ‘Draaiboek voor de Schatbewaarder’ (1996-97) een web met ander werk in een intense 'lerende' dialoog met geactiveerde studenten/docenten. Een insert met kunst en tekst van kunstenaar Leo Copers, aangevuld met een ‘mysterious artwork’ uit de ruime S.M.A.K.-collectie — dat op de vernissage wordt onthuld — genereert een ferme beet in de wetenschap dat kennis over mens en wereld nooit af is.

Christine Clinckx
Curator Jan Van Woensel
Opening: 6 pm, Thursday, 29 June, 2023
Exhibition: 30 June–2 September, 2023
Ladislav Sutnar Gallery
Pilsen, Czech Republic

The first solo exhibition in the Czech Republic of the Belgian artist Christine Clinckx is held from 30 June until 2 September, 2023, in the Ladislav Sutnar Gallery in Pilsen, CZ.

The untitled exhibition features four large-scale installations that are joined by a sound artwork AIPOTU (Time in Reverse) 2023-2043 that makes its debut appearance.

The projects of Christine Clinckx address history through the contingencies of her own biography and engage with the subjects of war, refugees, dislocation and disappearance.

In doing so, they cause conflicts, tensions and frictions that open a space for critical discourse on the transitional social, cultural, political, technological, environmental and humanitarian issues from the 1990’s until today.

expo @eva steynen gallery

The sculpture enters into a dialogue with my 1940 photo series, which, like 5 Minutes, is a work in progress. The series documents a concrete object that was stolen by my great-grandmother and grandmother during their flee from the bombing during World War II with the intention of possibly making it profitable. By unrecognizable image of the object I link the choice of these two refugees, my ancestors, to the here and now, but I also respect their desire to keep the object hidden. photo: Christine Clinckx, "The Object, 1940 ", 2018 photograph on Agfa Paper #analogephotography

NEW BOOK 20 YEARS UNDERGROUND

In 2000 I buried some 500 color slides showing family scenes. Twenty years later I dug them up. Layers of color had come off and in other cases the slides were molded, while the images of other slides had completely disappeared, allowing me to further manipulate some of them. The slides are meant to be shown in a double slide projection. This book contains a selection of the images.

Exhibition @Eva Steynen Gallery Antwerp

“What would you take with you when you have to leave your house within 5 minutes?” Since 1995 Christine Clinckx confronts the visitors of her exhibitions with this question. It not only suggests an acute situation and highlights what people find precious, but also confronts us with our approach to life.

Based on the items a person would take, Clinckx makes three-dimensional portraits.

Connected with this questioning lies her ongoing photographic project '1940', a series that documents an object her mother and grandmother stole, in the hope to make money out of it, while they where on the run for the bombings during WW2. The object Clinckx shows in her photographic work is beyond all recognition. In this way she transfers the choice of two refugees - in this case her ancestors - into the present time, and by doing so she respects their choice to keep the hidden object invisible. For her first solo show at Eva Steynen.Deviation(s) Christine Clinckx confronts a selection of this photographic series with a three-dimensional portrait, especially made for this exhibition, of the Belgian philosopher Jaap Kruithof (1929 - 2009). This fictive portrait named 'The Things Man' is assembled from a random selection out of a collection of 10.000 objects Kruithof left to the Museum aan de Stroom (MAS). It is part of a bigger project of the MAS to upcycle the Kruithof-collection. In his publications Omgaan met de dingen (1991), Ingaan op de dingen (1992) en Doorgaan met de dingen (1994) the philosopher denounced consumer-society and promoted the circular economy. (https\://www.mas.be/nl/kruithof) As Kruithof passed away then years ago, he cannot answer Clinckx' question about what he would take in the presumed situation. On the other hand, for some reason he has chosen the objects he collected and preserved them. The sculpture Clinckx presents, an ensemble combining a still-lifewith a fictive portrait of the philosopher, writer and collectioner, suggests what he could have taken. As in her photographic work the presented items are not visual, but hidden in suitcases. The connection between the objects evokes a storyline that can be read by the viewer. This line of objects literally runs through the gallery making itself a way to the outside as a silent an slow undulation of preserved things. During the vernissage of the show on the 26 of September, visitors are invited write down their personal answer to the above question, and have their 'portrait' made. more info:

Exhibition Kontrapunt @Bernaerts Gallery Antwerp curator Maryam Najd

Kontrapunt is a project which accumulates a discussion about the issues that are not efficiently and widely used and recognized in every society. “As we know there are many societies that cannot agree with the freedom of expression but here in Belgium and generally in Europe we have a better situation than the rest of the world. I would like to take a benefit of this position by organizing an exhibition, which shows to the public, the power of art in opposition to censorship and control. Freedom of expression is essential to the Arts. It needs to be actively sustained at the heart of the artistic practice and mission, or it risks being undermined and diminished by the conflict of interests. Throughout history works of art have been altered, silenced and even erased due to unacceptable content, whether the motivations for censorship were religious, social or political. Yet artists have long pushed boundaries of “offensive” through their imagery and content, presenting everything... Therefore, for the second edition of Kontrapunt, I would like to display the Artworks that ‘could be’ prohibited or banned not necessarily in Europe but other parts of the world.” Participating artists: Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (BE), Danny De Vos (BE), Christine Clinckx (BE), Charif Benhelima (BE/ MR), Mekhitar Garabedian (SY), Maryam Najd (IR). more info:

christine clinckx, '5 minutes' , 1995 - 2015 interactive project with the public. Bicycle, bags, content

“What would you take with you when you have to leave your house within 5 minutes?” Since 1995 Christine Clinckx confronts the visitors of her exhibitions with this question. It not only suggests an acute situation and highlights what people find precious, but also confronts us with our approach to life. Based on the items a person would take, Clinckx makes three-dimensional portraits.

Kauwend op de wereld.
Christine groeide op met familieverhalen over bombardementen, haat, vluchten, schuilen, honger, achterlaten. Hier ligt de kiem van haar oeuvre.
Ze gebruikt en hergebruikt brieven, stempels, menselijk haar, roze kauwgum, oude foto’s, tapijten… de sporen van dit leven. Ze vindt hierin een melancholische schoonheid, een manier om te vertalen, te communiceren, te vertellen.

Haar werken kunnen wreed zijn, ze doen ons kijken naar dingen die we niet willen zien, niet willen meemaken. Ze zijn machtig, dwingend maar behouden altijd een afstand door hun humor en/of schoonheid.

Ze wekken ons de suggestie dat we iets kunnen veranderen, iets beter maken. Ze generen hoop en daardoor blijven ze draaglijk.

Het werk zelf komt uit een eigen wereld. In die wereld is geen logica, geen stramien.

Daar is geen kunstenaar, enkel het draaien van de cirkels van verhalen, de chaos die zich langzaam ordent als een mysterieus proces van wachten op een antwoord. Tot er iets kan ontstaan. Steeds opnieuw en opnieuw.

The name of the exhibition comes from Julius Caesar’s « Commentarii de Bello Gallico », in which he describes the belge (belgae) as the bravest of all galliers: « horum Fortissimi omnium sunt Belgae ». Vanessa Quang gallery in collaboration with the Belgium curator Dagmar de Poorter organized this exhibition to present a vision of the actual the Belgium art scene. The concept of the exhibition is based on the commemoration of 180th anniversary of art in Belgium (since the official creation of the Belgium Country). It is an occasion to celebrate some emerging Belgian contemporary artists and the surrealism which represents Belgian art internationally in the history. This group of artists, who at the beginning of the 20th century created an impertinent and innovative climate, clearly inspires the actual Belgium vision of art.

To understand the work of Chris Gillis and Christine Clinckx, the cultural scene at the beginning of the 20th century has to be known, especially the precursors of this movement.
Félicien Rops and his symbolist works or James Ensor, who excelled in caricaturing bourgeois society but also the master of Belgian surrealism René Magritte and his daring juxtapositions or Paul Delvaux and Marcel Broodthaers are the most popular Belgian surrealism artist.

Surrealist literature, also inspired contemporary art with awriters like Scutenaire, Henry Michaux, Jean Ray, Johan Daisne or Hugo Claus, who was co-founder of COBRA. Impossible not to mention Henry Van de Velde who overturned the whole design vision.

In consideration of this prosperous background, it is quite evident that the Belgium culture of the past decades enriched the new Belgium art and encouraged the artists to try themselves in new media, like audio and video. This exhibition presents two emerging Belgian artists which capture the spirit of the time and invite to a joyful journey through the gallery.

The preview will be accompanied by a musical performance from Michel Verkempinck and the artist Christine Clinckx. Both will perform in front of the video projection by wearing masks and playing the electric guitar.

PRESS RELEASE


Christine Clinckx (Belgium, °1969) - “ Seven Days“ - 08 may 2009 – 13 June 2009

In her installations, videoworks, drawings and sculptures Christine Clinckx combines influences and information taken from contemporary society, personal history and ‘ancient’ knowledge. Her works could be described as contemporary ‘symbols’, deeply rooted in Clinckx’ critical and sometimes activist engagement in the world as it is: a place of crisis and conflict, in which one has to fight to survive (physically and/or mentally). In Clinckx’ world/works, things are not what they seem. Often playful and joyful at first sight, her works contain traces of disgust, fear, anger, mourning and loss. Society being a permanent battlefield of frictions and conflicts, some of Clinckx’ works can be read as shelters or hiding places. They invite people to interact and find their place /in/ the work, using it as a tool for comfort and consolation. In her videos and drawings, faces are hidden. Wigs and masks are used as secondary skins for survival and/or protection. Another important theme in her work is time/history and the way people deal with it. Processes of memory and amnesia are visualised and materialised by ‘reconstructing’ fragments of personal and/or familial histories. /Seven Days/ consists of seven masks, one for every day of the week. Masks are are fundamental part of traditional and modern rituals. They hide and protect the persons wearing them, but they also transform and enlarge aspects of their (hidden) personality. Masks are tools both for protection and performance. Clinckx also took her inspiration from ancient mythology, in which the seven days are related to gods and planets, connecting the ‘daily’ and the personal with the universal and spiritual. The seven masks are incarnations of days, gods and human emotions. They have sculptural qualities but shouldn’t be considered sculpture. Installed against the wall of the gallery, visitors are invited to try and use them and transform the gallery space into an area of ceremony or performance. The artist invites people to manipulate the chronological order of the days or to adopt several emotions. Playing becomes a subversive ritual against the order of things as we know it. Choosing a mask might already be an invitation for self-reflection, because it can be both a mirror and a disguise. To visualize the possibilities of performance and to invite visitors to join in, Clinckx asked seven people to wear the masks in public space. The registration of this happening will be shown in the gallery. During the opening of the show, Christine Clinckx will do the peformance /Burning Mask/ in front of the gallery.

vernissage: vrijdag 27 februari 2009 – 20u00

Tekeningen werden al duizenden jaren geleden gemaakt, door onze prille voorouders. En nog steeds is de waarde van een tekening niet te onderschatten. In ons dagelijks leven beseffen we niet hoe dikwijls we met tekeningen te maken krijgen. Bij ieder zelfbouwmeubel hoort een getekende handleiding te zitten. Het model van onze mobiele telefoontoestellen, het huis waarin we wonen, het behangpapier aan de muur in de woonkamer,... al deze zaken werden door designers of architecten getekend. Tegenwoordig in 3D, op computers. Maar in wezen start alles echter met een schets op een vel papier.

Op de tentoonstelling zal werk te zien zijn van twintig kunstenaars. Elke kunstenaar werkt sinds jaren volgens een heel eigen, actuele manier van tekenen. Het verfrissende standpunt dat de kunstenaars in Drawing Actions innemen tegenover onze globale leefwereld, vormt de grootste overeenkomst tussen de verschillende oeuvres. Drawing Actions is een project over, rond en met tekeningen en toont de verschillende aspecten van het tekenen binnen de hedendaagse kunst.



De tentoonstelling toont het werk van Yves Beaumont (B), Simon Benson (NL/GB), Christine Clinckx (B), Caroline Coolen (B), Robbie Cornelissen (NL), Eva De Leener (B), Arpaïs Du Bois (B), Sacha Eckes (B), Bert Frings (NL), Jef Gysen (B), Karin Hanssen (B), Bruno Hardt (B), Ulrike Heydenreich (D), Peter Morrens (B), Timothy Nolan (USA), Ante Timmermans (B), Jos van der Sommen (NL), Kris Van Dessel (B), Marilou Van Lierop (B) en dominique V.D. wall (B). De expo kwam tot stand onder het curatorschap van kunstenaar Kris Van Dessel (B).

Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate (‘Gij die hier binnentreedt, laat alle hoop varen’) luidt het opschrift boven de ingang van de hel, zoals die beschreven werd door Dante Alighieri. Dante’s Divina Commedia vormt de rode draad in de tentoonstellingen Cielo (Dagmar De Pooter Gallery) en Inferno (De Rode 7). Voor beide locaties, de eerste op Antwerpen Zuid, de tweede in Antwerpen Noord, realiseerde Clinckx enkele nieuwe werken.

CHRISTINE CLINCKX


Sint-Jansplein 7 2060 Antwerpen rode 7

7 opening met projectie dinsdag 26 februari om 21 uur

tentoonstelling tot 5 april
filmprojectie op vrijdag- en zaterdagavond

De nieuwe video Tunnel suggereert een virtuele tunnel die vanop het Antwerpse Zuid naar de ingang van de ondergrondse parkeerplaats van het St. Jansplein in Antwerpen Noord loopt. Daar wordt dezelfde film geprojecteerd op een kiosk voor restaurant-galerie De Rode 7 waar de tentoonstelling haar tweede luik heeft (en waar je een door de kunstenaar ontworpen inferno-gerecht kan bestellen, terwijl je in afwachting een door haar ontworpen tarotspel kan spelen). De film bestaat uit een montage van uiteenlopende ‘tunnelvideo’s’ die Clinckx op het internet vond en opnieuw filmde. In de montage zitten beelden van onschuldige tunnels waar jongeren bommetjes tot ontploffing brengen , maar ook smokkeltunnels, ontsnappings- en ontduikingstunnels, catacomben, tunnels die gebruikt worden door terroristen, tunnels die dienen als woonplaats, maar ook een tunnel om de avondklok te omzeilen en de plaatselijke ijsbar te bezoeken. De film vormt een lange ‘aaneengebreëen’ tunnel die je als een treinreis meesleurt naar de andere kant van de stad. Voor Boerinnenkookboek vermengde Clinckx recepten voor explosieven uit The Anarchist Cookbook met die voor traditionele gerechten uit het bekende kookboek van de Boerinnenbond. Deze mix is in rode lippenstift op behangpapier genoteerd. Het gebruik van rode lipstick, een ambivalent materiaal dat Clinckx wel vaker hanteert, refereert aan bloedsporen, oorlogskleuren en erotiek. Ook de editie op een one-USdollar biljet is met dezelfde rode lipstick geschreven. Hierop vindt je dezelfde ingrediënten terug, maar nu geïsoleerd en uit hun context getrokken. Pas indien je de hele editie (20 exemplaren) samenvoegt, krijg je opnieuw de juiste combinatie. In het restaurant kan je een speciaal ontworpen inferno gerecht en een inferno drank bestellen.

Voor haar videoprojectie Het boek van de mens herfotografeerde Clinckx alle foto’s in het medische naslagwerk Het boek van de mens (1969) en verwerkte die tot een draaikolk van weglopend badwater. De plafondprojectie refereert aan de talrijke plafondschilderingen met hemelse scènes in kerken uit de 17de en 18de eeuw. Tegelijkertijd is er een duidelijke link met haar vroegere plafondprojectie Inferno (2001, collectie Stedelijk Museum Het Domein Sittard, NL) dat een kluwen van vuurrode, kronkelende reuzentongen toonde. Voor de rest wordt de galerieruimte in beslag genomen door een transparante, opblaasbare bal waar de bezoeker staand in plaats kan nemen. Daardoor neemt hij onbewust de houding aan van de zogenaamde ‘Vitruviaanse mens’, die vooral bekendheid geniet via de beroemde tekening van Leonardo Da Vinci, en symbool staat voor de mens als verbinding tussen aarde en kosmos. In deze ‘ideale’ positie kan de bezoeker de tentoonstelling al rollend en vanuit steeds andere standpunten waarnemen. De gigantische ‘vitruviaanse bal’ zal echter grotendeels de toegang versperren zodat de andere bezoekers maar een beperkte ruimte hebben om zich een weg te banen naar de rest van de galerieruimte. Musicus Michel Verkempinck schreef de originele muziek bij dit werk en inspireerde zich daarvoor op de ‘negen poorten’ die Dante in zijn Goddelijke Komedie beschrijft. Verder in de ruimte staan naar analogie daarmee enkele deuren opgesteld, waaronder een die beschilderd werd met het opschrift Il Bosco dei violenti.
