SUMMARY:Artificialia
DESCRIPTION:Cette exposition a été pensée en fonction du lieu même de la Fondation Blan\, un hôtel particulier du début du siècle dernier\, qui a la particularité d’être mystérieusement très similaire à des images d’architecture trouvée sur lesquelles je travaille depuis plusieurs années\, des documents imprimés en héliogravures datés de 1910. Les différents étages et leurs espaces spécifiques et contrastés m’ont permis de déployer un agencement d’œuvres tel un cabinet de curiosité. «Artificialia» est le nom donné aux collections réunies d’objets conçues\, fabriquées ou modifiées par l’ être humain. \nPlus d’informations dans le communiqué de presse. \n\nVisite virtuelle de l’exposition : https://mytwin.getaview.be/fr/tour/fondation-blan-artificialia \n\nEntretien sur BX1 – https://bx1.be/radio-chronique/linvite-du-brunch-stephan-balleux/ \nL’invité de Sabine Ringelheim et Charlotte Maréchal dans le Brunch du lundi 17 avril est Stephan Balleux\, plasticien. C’est un artiste prolifique\, multidisciplinaire et fasciné par les images\, qu’elles soient anciennes\, récentes\, cinématographiques ou photographiques. Le public peut allez découvrir ou redécouvrir son travail en ce moment à la Fondation Blan.

SUMMARY:Kunstfestival Damme
DESCRIPTION:Niemand is een eiland\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘Niemand is een eiland’ weerspiegelt de gevoelige alledaagse verbondenheid van fauna en flora en alles wat is. De dualiteit van alles wat bestaat\, versterkt de fragiliteit van die grote verbinding. Net zoals bij de vorige edities groeit de artistieke inhoud van Stadsfestival Damme organisch rond de visie van kunstenaars\, schrijvers\, dichters en andere creatieve partners. \nDe bezoeker kijkt\, ziet\, leest\, luistert\, hoort\, voelt\, denkt\, kiest\, interpreteert\, reflecteert: gaat naar huis met die eigen herinneringen en reflecties. Daar precies zit de kracht en de waarde van kunst: het voegt iets toe aan ons eigen zijn. Voor wie goed kijkt en leest\, geven kunstenaars\, schrijvers en dichters een stukje van hun ziel bloot. Ze vertellen ons hoe zij het leven en de wereld zien\, over hoe zij succes\, mislukking\, uitdaging\, bedreiging\, vreugde\, eindeloos verdriet\, passie en eenzaamheid beleven.  Hun verhalen nemen drempels weg en verbinden mensen met elkaar. Ze helpen ons bij onze nooit aflatende zoektocht naar identiteit en authenticiteit. \nOok onze taal- en beeldvorming is een amalgaam. Dagelijks krijgen we een overdonderende informatiestroom te verwerken. Elke dag opnieuw moeten wij deze informatie selecteren\, organiseren en interpreteren. Het zijn tijden van absurde overvloed. De perceptie van dit alles is onze eigen persoonlijke realiteit. \nKunstenfestival Damme 2021 gaat over vrijheid\, eenzaamheid én verbondenheid; over absurde overvloed\, over het buitengewone en het gewone\, over keuzes\, over jezelf mogen zijn\, over manipulatie\, over perceptie en realiteit\, over de alomtegenwoordige media\, over verlangen\, verandering en vergankelijkheid\, over onze eeuwige strijd tussen denken en voelen. Over ons allemaal; over hoe het komt dat we met zijn allen of alleen\, gelukkig of ongelukkig kunnen zijn\, en of daar geen ongelukken van komen.

SUMMARY:Rhymes and Enantiomorphs
DESCRIPTION:‘Rhymes and Enantiomorphs’ is a collaboration between Denitsa Todorova and Stephan Balleux on pictorial deconstruction and reconstruction. \nThe complex\, ambiguous œuvre of Stephan Balleux reveals the artist’s obsession with the mechanisms involved in the power of the image. Through an expertly analytical approach\, Balleux turns the media environment to which we are all subjected daily into diverse artistic proposals\, all of which rely on one invariable act: assembling miscellaneous images from films\, press clippings\, magazines\, personal photographs\, etc. into an artistic corpus where the construction of images through painting is turned into an existential metaphor. Stephan Balleux lives and works in Brussels. \nThe drawings of Denitsa Todorova are made up of different layers\, like paintings. However\, while a painter may try to suppress one layer with the other\, Todorova aims to reveal by subtly removing parts of different graphite layers. The artist seems to sweep clean a painted window to let more and more light into the space of the viewer\, making her drawing an access point to sunlight. What Todorova effectively portrays is both abstract and emotional. Her drawings are inspired\, not by specific feelings\, but a subjective investigation into the meaning of concepts such as “endlessness” or metaphysical queries. \nFront page \n \nDenitsa Todorava Website

SUMMARY:Based On True Events
DESCRIPTION:At the invitation of Thierry de Valériola and Valerie Decroix\, an exceptional and prestigious Brussels house\, for sale and lent for the occasion as an exhibition space\, allowed me an unprecedented experience: to put in relation a set of works belonging to different periods.\nHeterogeneous in appearance\, time and form\, this exhibition brings together the most recent paintings never shown\, alongside photographs taken in my late teens\, childhood drawings\, texts written on a page\, ceramics\, overpaintings\, etc….\nEach room of this large residence waiting for an owner becomes an intimate entrance into one of the corners of my artistic journey.

SUMMARY:The Dust of the Meteors
DESCRIPTION:The title of the exhibition is borrowed from Alain Bashung’s album “l’Imprudence” which evokes with powerful poetry the feeling of impermanence. Using different types of mediums\, he composes a path of relationship between the different pieces with new\, recent works\, most of which were created for the LaVallée exhibition space. \nWhat is the relationship between a television set that is turned off\, a poster announcing the exhibition you are already circulating in\, a double self-portrait of the artist on the wall\, collections of found images irreverently diverted\, in situ murals and a set of heterogeneous monumental pictorial proposals? \nBy summoning a multitude of public personalities\, from politicians to philosophers to activists\, Stephan Balleux proposes a meditation on a possible value of existence.

SUMMARY:Oh you Pretty Things
DESCRIPTION:This new body of work collapses images and time\, speaking to concepts of existence and human nature\, desire\, fear\, and attraction. Through these allegories that are disguised in adult fairy tales\, Balleux attempts to produce a particular feeling created by the many layers and possible interpretations\, haunting the imagination.\nInspired by Belgian artist René Magritte\, and following in the footsteps of Casper David Frederich\, Balleux goes further into folktales\, myths\, magic\, and the semi-conscious. He has a fascination with the mythical\, the ghostly\, and the possibilities they exude for an artist\, challenging his imagination – especially in a post modern society.

SUMMARY:Sui generis
DESCRIPTION:Derived from Roman law\, sui generis is a term meaning “of its own kind”. It thus originally refers to a problem of legal taxonomy and is used to designate a case whose singularity is such that it cannot be classified in any of the categories already listed\, thus necessitating the creation of specific texts. \nInspired by images collected in encyclopedias at the beginning of the century\, in colonial exploration books\, in history or zoology books\, as well as on the Internet\, these watercolors thus deployed refer to a collection of images belonging to collective history. Through its encyclopedic vocation\, this “imaginary museum” immediately positions the artist as a curious and fervent collector of images. \nWe find in his work the fundamental principles on the image revealed by Magritte: isolation\, hybridization\, modification\, change of proportions\, chance encounters\, paradox\, double images\, the image and text couple\, etc. His attitude towards the image and his desire to use it as a vector of meaning or the destruction of meaning\, coupled with his experiences gleaned from the fields of digital art (where the image is a pure construction)\, puts him in a certain way in parallel with the surrealist movement. \n

SUMMARY:In Time
DESCRIPTION:CURATED BY TIM GOOSSENS \nSTEPHAN BALLEUX\, DIRK BRAECKMAN\, KOENRAAD DEDOBBELEER\, EDITH DEKYNDT\, PHILIP METTEN\, WILLEM OOREBEEK\, ELS OPSOMER\, FABRICE SAMYN\, PIETER VERMEERSCH \nThe title of the exhibition is derived from a song by the late Leo Ferré\, and the works included bear references to time: either in a formal time-based\, performative way or in direct reference to history\, nostalgia\, memory\, reproduction and a fading in time. Encompassing artists from both a newer generation and those that are internationally recognized\, the exhibition aims to give an overview of the Belgian contemporary art scene of today. This flourishing scene capitalizes on the country’s central location and its long history of artistic support to create a productive art center.
