BELGAE Contemporary Belgium Artists Curator : Dagmar de Poorter Preview May 6TH from 6 to 9 PM. At the opening a musical performance with Michel Verkempinck Exhibition May 7 TH until May 5 TH 2010 Artists presented: Chris Gillis Christine Clinckx 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.

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.

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
