ELEMENTS Publication | Art direction: Jessica Gysel, Offshore Studio | Cover Illustration: Janis Zell | Publisher: Jan van Eyck Academie

Based on a collaboration between art and cultural institutions in Dutch Limburg, Belgian Limburg and Liège, Elements is a publication–catalogue that gathers a series of art and design exhibitions and programmes that have taken place in 2021. The publication sheds light on such classical elements as water, earth, fire, air which were proposed by ancient cultures to explain the nature and complexity of all matter in terms of simpler substances. The work explores how zinc, plastic, skin or electricity are part of a bigger story in which earth, fire, air and water are mined, polluted, intoxicated, genetically manipulated, technologically enhanced.

Happy to become part of Le Fusée de la Motographie project!

“The project is based on the idea of a flea market. At a flea market you often find boxes with photographs in them. You don't know who took those photos, so you invent stories yourself," says creator Vincen Beeckman. In each box you can find one or more photographs ...  Le Fusée de la Motographie was conceived by Vincen Beeckman for the Brussels arts cente Recyclart.

"This aspect of mysteriousness is important for the project Le Fusée de la Motographie. You get a box which can contain a photo of a famous photographer or of a student. You do not choose the box yourself. It's always a surprise."Le Fusée de la Motographie is part of the exhibition ‘re-collect’ at FOMU. On the occasion of this exhibition, 20 new boxes were created, with work by Jeroen Bocken, Elena Aya Bundurakis, Ulla Deventer, Marie-Françoise Plissart, Aurélie Geurts, Tine Guns, Gert Jochems, Mous Lamrabat, Youqine Lefèvre, Renée Lorie, Mashid Mohadjerin, Kamel Moussa, Pauline Niks, Sebastien Steveniers, Egon Van Herreweghe, Sine Van Menxel, Vesna Faassen & Lukas Verdijk, Erien Withouck, Ugo Woatzi

part of DIE EPILOG magazine, issue #9 
Das Leben ist hart — Thema: Zärtlichkeit

Wie steht es um deine Soft Skills, Darling? Während sich die Fronten gesellschaftlicher und politischer Realitäten verhärten, schaut die Epilog Nr. 9 auf die soften Nischen der Gegenwart und entdeckt Zärtlichkeit nicht als Rückzug, sondern als politische Strategie. Wir umarmen die ganze Welt und rufen die Metazärtlichkeit aus, die Normie-Romantik und unpolitischen Hippie-Shit transzendiert, und finden Liebe an hoffnungslosen Orten. Die neue Softness sprengt alle Kategorien und transformiert die Grenzen unseres Denkens, unserer Körper, unseres Wir. Kommt meta-kuscheln! Und friemelt mit uns die Fusseln aus dem Flokati unseres Herzens. Mit Sicherheitsabstand, versteht sich.
Erschienen im Mai 2020.

Situations/PORN, Fotomuseum Winterthur
With works by Anna Ehrenstein, Andy Kassier, Andy King, Adrian Sauer, Jean-Vincent Simonet and others.

In the space between object and desire, the photographic gaze occupies a unique position: it satisfies many of our yearnings and fantasies as much as it fuels them. Might the increased circulation and consumption of images of today’s visual culture be driven by an impulse that is of a pornographic nature? From obsessive binge-watching to food porn or unboxing videos in which products are carefully unpacked in front of the camera, screen-based phenomena from the realms of digital desire and fetish test the boundaries of intimacy, perversion, compulsion and drive. SITUATIONS/Porn takes a look at such artistic and cultural manifestations to investigate the dynamics between gaze and desire against the backdrop of the networked image.
