Colloque/symposium COM ∩∪ TIES @ l’ISELP

Dans la continuité de l’exposition organisée conjointement en automne 2017, Argos et l’ISELP, deux institutions bruxelloises liées aux deux grandes communautés linguistiques belges, s’associent pour prolonger leur réflexion sur le thème des communautés, cette fois à travers un colloque associant artistes, chercheurs, scientifiques et curateurs.

Comme dans l’exposition, le commun sera interrogé suivant quatre modalités d’organisations, quatre territorialités : la ville, le corps social, la structuration politique et l’environnement. Dans chacune de ces configurations apparaissent des seuils qui lient ou délient les existences communes. Des seuils qui font obstacle ou passerelle.

Jacques Urbanska (chargé de mission chez Transcultures) sera le président de séance et modérateur du 28 janvier réunissant des communications notamment d’Iris Lafon (historienne de l’art et curatrice française), Mezli Vega Osorno (photographe, artiste et checheuse à l’Université d’Aix-Marseille et l’ENSP Arles), Pierre-Yves Desaive (historien de l’art, commissaire d’exposition et enseignant à l’ENSAV La Cambre) autour des « online communities ».

In the continuation of the jointly organised exhibition in autumn 2017, Argos and ISELP – two Brussels-based institutions linked to the two main Belgian linguistic communities – join forces to further their reflexions on the theme of communities, this time in the form of a symposium that brings together artists, researchers, members of the scientific community and curators. As in the exhibition, the “communal” will be questioned according to four organisational modalities, four territorialities: the city, the social body, the political structuration and the environment. Thresholds that tie or untie communal existence appear in each of these configurations.

Thresholds that can either be an obstacle or an access point. Jacques Urbanska (media art project manager @ Transcultures) will be the chairman of the session and moderator of the debates of the January 28, bringing together communications around the ‘online communities’ by – among others – Iris Lafon (art historian and French curator) , Mezli Vega Osorno (photographer, artist and researcher at the University of Aix-Marseille and ENSP Arles), Pierre-Yves Desaive (art historian, curator and teacher at La Cambre-Brussels).

Space Debris is proud to present a series of exhibitions in the new year with the support of Orjin Maslak, in hopes to bring forward the young talents with a fresh, dynamic approach by creating a new space for their voices to be heard.
The first exhibition of the series entitled “NOISE”, taking place at the art gallery on -2 floor of ORJIN, is hosting the pioneers of the digital art scene.

Artificial intelligence, digital identities, the unresistable social media, avatars, rapidly increasing, constantly flowing images.. who we are? Do we exist only within our virtual personalities or these digital identities free our voices more?
The exhibition exploring the gray area between the virtual world and contemporary art with the innovative approach of digital arts, presents a selection of unique expressions of thirty one artists, local and foreign, and says to the spectator “thing different, outside the ordinary”. In each “noise” is a reflection of us.

Douglas Kahn explores “sound” used in various art mediums, in his book “Noise Water Meat”, where the exhibition takes its title from, and states that a proper analysis of post-modern society is done by situating it in focal point of art history. These series of exhibitions, inspired by the same book, taking place at “Orjin Sanat” Art Gallery takes a similar approach in analysing the contemporary society for a better evalution and examination of its very own contemporay culture and voices within its geography.

The “Noise Water Meat” exhibiton series are designed to present a genuine and unique program and aims to help promote the new generation artists and contemporary voices to be heard.

The the first group exhibition series entitled “Noise” the Digital Festival, curated by artist Mert Keskin in collaboration with Seyhan Musaoglu of Space Debris, will open on January 12, 2018 and may be seen at “Orijin Sanat” until February 17, 2018.

A collaboration of Space Debris and Orjin Maslak | Space Debris is a multi-purpose art space founded by Seyhan Musaoglu working between two platforms:  New York and Istanbul. As a hub space for innovative dialogue with a collective soul, the aim is to gain recognition for interactive new media works and interdisciplinary subjects that challenge traditional boundaries.
