Opening from Friday 4th of May till Sunday 6th of May
Can we use art as a metaphor for the entire world – similar, perhaps,
to the way Baroque theatre considered the stage as a metaphor for the
greater whole (topical art discourse and knowledge production)? JOËL
VERWIMP
Netwerk / center for contemporary art gives substantial emphasis to
process-based research and presents a.o. situation-based and/or
context-oriented forms of mediation (such as interventions,
encounters, performances, events, talks, presentations, publications,
web logs ...). In these reflective (and self-reflective) processes
Netwerk tries to stimulate various forms of exchange (e.g. between
music, performance and the visual arts) that may be able to generate
new and meaningful artistic entities. The versatile and modular
infrastructure – a former textiles warehouse – offers every
opportunity to keep close track of such developments and attracts
numerous artists whose work crosses disciplinary divides.
BAROQ at the GRIDIRON HOTEL is a collective project under the artistic
guidance of Joël Verwimp, a Belgian Berlin based artist who is also
member of the board of the Kunstfabrik am Flutgraben. The project
starts its public activities with a three days opening, the 48 hours
initial hospitality incident (48hihi). During their stay at the
GRIDIRON HOTEL the artists will organize meetings, performances,
workshops, screenings and interventions in public space. On Saturday
night Joël Verwimp will moderate a public debate with Bettina
Steinbrügge, director of Halle für Kunst in Lüneburg, Lillian
Fellmann, artistic director of White, Wide, Wild Space (Zurich) and
Simon Sheikh, curator and critic. One of the central questions will be
in what way art worlds (informal and heterogeneous networks and formal
institutions) can be regarded and used as research fields for social
change and co-operation.
Simultaneously, the exhibition Cabinet Reclus / Potential Estate will
be accessible in preview. Potential Estate is the umbrella title of a
scenario, put together by a group of artists examining the
possibilities of a collaborative residential format. After an
exploratory mission in the U.S., Belgium, a small suburban entity
situated in Wisconsin – founded by their Belgian and Luxemburg
ancestors, has been identified as a potential terrain for a
residential-annex-exhibition-project. On May 4th Cabinet Reclus takes
a run-up to its opening on Saturday June 9th. At that time the cabinet
will be presented in its completeness.
