SECONDroom Antwerpen

SECONDroom Antwerpen Art space - Artist initiative
Expo platform organized by: Tamara Beheydt, Stefan Siffer, Christophe Floré and David Van Mieghem

Since 2006 SECONDroom organises one-day exhibitions as an independent platform. The initiative of Christophe Floré started in his private house in Brussels. A room on the first floor was transformed into an exhibition space where a different artist was given carte blanche to show work during a public exhibition every Saturday between 18h and 21h. This constant renewal of exhibitions gave SECONDroo

m an intimate character. Because the duration of the exhibition is limited to a short-lived vernissage, it has the character of an event. Since its creation, SECONDroom has organised more than 300 exhibitions using this weekly formula. SECONDroom is currently located in Antwerp (Berchem). The current staff members are: Christophe Floré, Tanja Vrancken, David Van Mieghem, Athéna Lazarou and Marc Van Tichel. Sinds 2006 organiseert SECONDroom eendags-tentoonstellingen als onafhankelijk platform. Een initiatief van Christophe Floré dat begon in zijn privé-woning in Brussel. Op de eerste verdieping werd een kamer getransformeerd tot tentoonstellingsruimte waar elke zaterdag tussen 18u en 21u een andere kunstenaar carte blanche kreeg om te experimenteren. Deze voortdurende hernieuwing van tentoonstellingen verleende SECONDroom een particulier karakter. Omdat de duur van de expositie beperkt is tot een vernissage krijgt ze de impact van een evenement. Sinds zijn ontstaan heeft SECONDroom met deze wekelijkse formule meer dan 300 tentoonstellingen georganiseerd. Momenteel is SECONDroom gevestigd in Antwerpen (Berchem). De huidige medewerkers zijn: Christophe Floré, Tanja Vrancken, David Van Mieghem, Athéna Lazarou en Marc Van Tichel.

ANTWERP ART BOX
Alongside his art practice, Erik Haemers enjoys sharing the work of other artists and designers as a curator.
He curates exhibitions at various art spaces such as 4n20 in Kortrijk [BE]

For over three years, he has had his own art showcase in Antwerp [BE]: the ‘antwerp art box’.
A place to experiment with his own work, scenography and lighting, but above all a venue without commercial objectives. A way to meet people and bring art to the city. A generous gesture towards colleagues: the guest artist can try out a work or an idea there without the pressure that comes with a commercial gallery. A place for ‘trial without error’.

Located literally next door to SECONDroom, Antwerp Art Box has also grown into a close and dynamic neighbour and partner. The two spaces work intensively together, sharing ideas, audiences, knowledge and opportunities, while always respecting each other’s autonomy, way of working and artistic vision. This proximity creates a fertile environment for exchange and collaboration, where both organisations can strengthen one another without losing their individual identity.

Berserk Art Agency, opgericht door Anouk Focquier, biedt sinds 2014 een verbindings- en ondersteuningscontext voor kunstenorganisaties en -praktijken. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken ondersteunt en stimuleert Berserk Art Agency makers, organisaties en de sector. Berserk Art Agency cureert, produceert, managet, distribueert en bouwt inter/nationale netwerken uit.
Berserk Art Agency stelt tijd en experiment centraal, werkt nomadisch en is altijd onderweg.

September komt in zicht en dat betekent dat we uitkijken naar de volgende showcase bij SECONDroom Antwerpen.
Tijdens Showcase #5 leggen we de focus op analoge en digitale immersie. 
Wat betekent het om collectief of individueel een andere gedeelde ruimte binnen te stappen? Hoe verhouden we onszelf tot ons lichaam en dat van anderen? Hoe kunnen immersieve werelden kaders creëren waarin we kunnen nadenken over identiteit, emotie, kwetsbaarheid en taboe?

De uitgenodigde kunstenaars zijn Lawrence Kudria (UA) en Lucas Dewulf (BE).
Showcase #5 opent voor het publiek op 10.09 tussen 18:00 - 22:00
Op zondag 13.08 van 14:00 tot 17:00 kan je deelnemen aan de Live Action Role Play (LARP) These Violent Delights van Lucas Dewulf.
Deze LARP werd gecoproduceerd door De Grote Post (Oostende) en onderzoekt structurele vormen van geweld. Welke plekken bestaan er in onze samenleving om geweld een plaats te geven? Hoe gaan we om met een onrechtvaardige samenleving, en wat doet dit met ons?
Schrijf je in — het aantal plaatsen is beperkt tot 16 deelnemers. Anouk Focquier | Berserk Art Agency

SECONDroom expo No. 390
invites you to

‘THE BUNKER. A Group Show’

→ Visiting Antwerp Art Box and SECONDroom, I imagined my sculpture Rusty Cloud in the space and what could happen if I opened it up: inviting other artists in. That impulse became ‘THE BUNKER’.

→ A bunker implies collective shelter, pressure, the preservation and accumulation of things to be cherished and in whose presence I’d like to be: hosted by the objects, close to them.

Who are the participating artists?
→ -Sophie Beinke Nathalie Campion erik_haemers_works nage pas ou t’as pas pied Jeffe De Brabandere Damien De Lepeleire Ruben De Smet In Care Of Michal Luft Hilde Overbergh Marie Noorbergen Daan Peeters Pieter-Jan Peeters loan verbanck Nel Verbeke

The display window of the Antwerp Art Box features a picture of Andy Warhol’s portrait of Joseph Beuys – why?
→ You might read them as opposites - art as ritual in service of social utopia versus art as reproduction and circulation; the forest and inner transformation versus the factory. Yet those opposites aren’t as precise or absolute as they first appear. The shared undertow I recognise is their determination to transform what art has become. To invite fellow artists into proximity with this portrait feels meaningful to me. The nearness of a portrait invites conversation. Maybe we’d like to tell them something?
