Third pair of artists
GuestRoom #10 - HISK
23.01.2010 - 11.04.2010
The Higher Institute of Fine Arts (HISK) is one of Belgium's most distinguished institutes for the arts. The Flemish counterpart of the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, the HISK offers postgraduate art education in the field of audiovisual and visual arts. It is an international platform for young international artists whose development is closely followed by curators, critics and gallerists with a keen interest in emerging talent. From its original home in a dilapidated military hospital in Antwerp, in 2007 HISK moved to a former army barracks in Gent where it retains something of its squatter mentality and continues to be a place for artistic freedom and experimentation. Students are given every opportunity to develop their work at their own pace in a relaxed and comparatively quiet setting, interrupted only once a month by studio visits from a variety of guest lecturers: artists, curators, writers and (art) critics.
The HISK Guestroom will focus on a different pair of artists every two weeks. Domein curator Roel Arkesteijn selected six pairs of artists who studied at the HISK. The work of a current 'candidate laureate' is combined with that of an artist who has since gone on to develop his or her artistic practice.

Audrey Cottin (1984, France)
Audrey Cottin presents in GuestRoom #10 J'aime beaucoup les hommes en general. The details of her installation will be a true surprise!
Barbora Klímová (1977, Czech Republic)
Barbora Klímová presents in GuestRoom #10 – HISK, Gent the project Famous Brno Villas II. This project is the result of ongoing research in the field of individual family housing in Brno during the period 1968-1989. The project aims to reflect villas themselves from the viewpoint of their architectural form but also questions them as a social, cultural and political phenomenon. Klímová's work reacts to cultural environments, places and their histories; 'I'm interested in the relationships between the past and present; in personal and collective histories'.
