Book signing
14:30 - 18:00
For the release of their new books, 5 artists will be present for a signature session at Hangar on Saturday 10th December to exchange and discuss:
Sophie Aaron / Synchronicités
Vincen Beeckman / La Devinière
Jean-Dominique Burton / Visions
Vincent Delbrouck / There is Hope but not for us
Anniek Snoeijs / Bloom
Sophie Aaron - Synchronicités
Sophie is addicted to art. She always wants more, always demands more. By necessity, museums, galleries and fairs are like drug rooms...
Could this be a new form of mimicry, a symbiosis between the viewed and the viewer, between art and human beings? Could it be too good to be true? For several years now, and throughout the pages of her book, Sophie Aaron has been trying to show us the opposite. Sophie leads a well-ordered life, concerned with the happiness of her loved ones. She travels a lot, always on the move.
Vincen Beeckman - La Devinière
For Vincen Beeckman, collaboration is essential. He works mainly with marginalised and vulnerable people, giving visibility to under-recognised communities.
The book alternates between photographic sequences and extracts from Vincen Beeckman's diary, reproduced in facsimile. The texts respond to the photographs in a lively and direct style. Their lives appear with increasing clarity as the pages turn. Raw, sometimes brutal.
Jean-Dominique Burton - Visions
Jean-Dominique Burton, born in Huy (BE), is a Belgian photographer and filmmaker. A tireless traveller, a curious humanist with a sharp eye, Jean-Dominique Burton has been looking into the thousand and one secrets of Africa for several years. His approach is a poetic and sensitive anthropology, revealing beliefs and practices with modesty, respect and an assumed fascination.
The 408-page’s retrospective takes us across our planet, to often surprising places, to discover a beautiful world, rich in the human beings who inhabit it.
Vincent Delbrouck - There is Hope but not for us
Vincent Delbrouck born in Brussels in 1975, is a self-taught and naïve art maker. By integrating his personal, contextual and fictional perspectives within his prolific archives, he produces lasting impressions of the living places where he feels at home: Cuba and Nepal.
This book is a mix of collages made by the artist, pictures and printings of vintage erotic images on an old cactus book. Helen, one of the main characters used to be the artist’s previous Cuban, until recently. The is hope but not for us is a living and vibrant process, the thinking of a period, a search for experimentation, in the chaos of his studio.
Anniek Snoeijs / Bloom
Annie Snieijs is a Dutch photographer. She deals with the theme of transgressive behavior as being an important problem and a taboo, that she had to deal and was silent for 7 years.
'Bloom' consists of images of the artist’s own coping process. These photos show emotional processes she had to face throughout her artistic language. A polarised universe, where the darkness represents the difficult phases and moments and the light is the glow of hope and healing.
