A working system

Curated by Tessa Giblin and Angela Serino

8 graduating artists from Sint-Lucas Beeldende Kunst (BEL) and Gerrit Rietveld Academie (NL) are connected to experts from other fields of knowledge.

Catalyst is a series of conversations, an exhibition and a catalogue, as well as a residency, artist-run space forum and other events stimulated along the way.

Curated by Tessa Giblin (NZ) and Angela Serino (IT) the exhibition will open July 21, 2006 at de Brakke Grond, with a publication launch and residency announcements in the following month.

Artists:
Mounira Al Solh, Johann Arens, Filip De Roeck, Thomas Desmet, Ronald Detige, Reiko Kanazawa, Sandor Klijn, Marlies Leplae.

Among the expert readers collaborating in the project: Igor Dobricic, Hans Beerekamp, Dirk van Weelden, Patrick van der Duin, Elke Van Campenhout, JaapJan Zeeberg, Gertrudis Van de Vijver, Marco Pasi, Ledjaar van Houten, Jan St Werner, Sara van Hee, Menno Straatsma, in collaboration with Gerrit Rietveldacademie, Amsterdam and Sint-Lucas Beeldende Kunst, Ghent.

In collaboration with the selected artists, experts from diverse research backgrounds have been invited to discuss and contextualize these art works and practices through conversations and debate during the exhibition period. By creating a platform for multiple readings of the artists’ works, a deeper analysis of the artworks and practices will ensue for each newly graduated student. A publication launched at the finissage, will reflect the developments and readings made during the process.

As a more general curatorial statement, we consider the artist today as researchers who may work within a specific perspective and use specifics tools, but is not isolated from other systems of knowledge production. As an evolving process the project is developing to provide what may be found to be necessary or lacking. We are planning a forum around artist-run spaces in the city of Ghent and an artists’ residency opportunity at Hotel Maria Kapel in Hoorn following the project.

Catalyst resists the singularity exhibitionist impulse around celebrating the graduating artist, hoping to become instead a literal activation of curating as an enabling structure.

Opening: Friday, July 21, h: 8 p.m.
