 “Birdwatching Unfolded 2” - - Benjamin Vandewalle & Erki De Vries
Performance installation
 
Visual artist Erki De Vries and choreographer Benjamin Vandewalle share a fascination for everything that has to do with perception. The question as to how we perceive space around us and around our body, became the departure point for their installation performance Birdwatching, which premiered during Amperdans on October 23, 2009. With the series Birdwatching Unfolded, De Vries en Vandewalle attempt to further develop the principles of their investigation that underpin their performance. With each instance, certain elements are isolated and placed in a new situation and context.
 
Large moving volumes will in Birdwatching Unfolded nr. 2 explore the gallery space and the spatial feeling created in this Z33.

“if you cross the line (R+V=J)” - Delphine Deguislage
spots, filters and tape, variabel dimensions, 2010
In this installation, the visitor is confronted with a barrier, which seemingly prevents him/her from crossing. However, if one wishes to continue the visit of the exhibition, one cannot but step into this space. The choice to step into the light places the visitor in the middle of a constellation that will challenge his/her understanding of a certain colour mixing.

“don’t / BE HUMAN. A Recounting Exhibition” - radical_hope
5 title cards, 1 telephone, social act, 2010
 
Recounting Exhibitions are works that count on the artist and performer as much as on the visitor :
Only through getting in social contact the image will be/come more than what you see on the wall.
The visitor is invited to contact radical_hope via telephone to hear the story about the works that are only presented in the gallery space through their labels.
 
The first set-up of Recounting Exhibitions premieres in Z33 during the opening of “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone.” And stays until May 2, 2010.

 “I WAS HERE” - Wannes Goetschalckx
Performance installation
 
Wannes Goetschalckx created for “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone” the new work “I WAS HERE”. An ambiguous message, as the writer wishes to stay anonymous while at the same time fixing his/her temporary presence.
 
The title of the work is the departure point, both in terms of content and form. The known phrase that one comes across worldwide can be considered as one of the most original forms of graffiti. What it still has in common with the contemporary versions hereof, is that the only identifying part of what is left, is the handwriting itself. The words/signs are of secondary importance. This might be where the link could be situated with contemporary art. The question is not ‘what”, but rather ‘how’ and ‘why’. Although the message starts with “I”, the writer remains anonymous. It gives the reader an ambiguous feeling. On the one hand, the information is irrelevant; on the other hand it offers a new perspective on its context. These changing perspectives and the ambiguity of (not) wanting to be seen, are the research domains of Wannes Goetschalckx.

“Ruimte te gebruiken” 2010
call
 
In memory of “Ruimte te Gebruiken” (Space to Use) in 2007, Z33 – together with bolwerK - presents the next edition in the context of "Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone."
 
After stretching and transforming the white cube in ACT 1, exhibition space is opened for those who which to use it. This time, Z33 goes one step further. While in 2007, Z33 kept the organisational lead, this time complete organization is in the hands of the participants.
 
More concretely, Z33 will open up the “Hoge Ruimtes” exhibition spaces on Friday 12, Saturday 13 and Sunday 14th of February, from 11am – 6pm.
 
Those who wish, may do their thing on these days. The “Hoge Ruimtes” exhibition spaces will become everyone’s and no one’s at the same time. Z33 will not be organizing anything: participants need to make agreements among themselves in terms of the division of space and time. Or not. We provide you with a couple of open source web tools that can come in handy. Furthermore, there will be no logistic or curatorial support; everything is in hands of those who are interested. The only intervention that Z33 allows itself to do is to create a set of house rules in which a basic set-up of do’s and don’ts is explicated.

“Mooi niet. Anders kijken naar kunst, anders doen met kunst” - Krokuskriebels
Expo – For kids from 4 years old and their (grand)parents
 
During the Fall break, Z33 participates in “Krokuskriebels”, a two-yearly initiative of an organisation called “Gezinsbond” with the aim to offer children between 3 and 12 years old and their (grand)parents a variety of possibilities in different museums and galleries in Flanders. Z33 participates with its project “Mooi niet. Anders kijken naar kunst, anders doen met kunst.” Children from 4 years old and their (grand)parents will be challenged with short look and do-assignments. A small take-away gift concludes the visit. The language of “mooi niet” is Dutch.

“Social Sculptures” - Katrien Oosterlinck en Jordi Ferreiro
workshop - For kids from 4 years old and their (grand)parents

Alongside “Mooi niet. Anders kijken naar kunst, anders doen met kunst”, a second intervention in the context of “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone.” Is dedicated to the youngest art enthusiasts that visit Z33 during the Fall break.

“Social sculptures” invites families in an open workshop around the position of bodies vis-a-vis each other. We move in, between, under, outside of and around the frames and playfully make a new sort of composed family portret.
 
Build a tower with your family, hide in the closet of your friend, put your daddy upside down and your grandma on her back. What if the ground becomes a sea, you and a giraffe become an endless staircase,… Through physical compositions, constructions of bodies and playful movement exercises, we become social sculptures. That way, the visual arts becomes moveable, and the image a moment of a performative act.

“Nomadic Video Library” - 68Septante and La Crise de Lard - Jérôme Giller
Video-lounge

68Septante is an eclectic film catalogue, an alternative mode of screening and an itinerant project. In the week of February 22nd, they will present in the gallery space of Z33 La Crise de Lard.

LA CRISE DE LARD is a video series produced as a small, satirical, pamphleteering play in which Jérôme Giller adopts an absurd, deliberately polemical tone to comment on historical works of art, the artistic world and the way it works.

The chattering and media events surrounding works of art are inclined to make the works disappear in favour of comments, be these appropriate or not. It is as though reviewing art today was becoming art itself. Art has become a cultural industry and Duchamp's 'viewer' is now a mere spectator who must, at all costs, be persuaded of the relevance and quality of what he sees. The viewer is stripped of any critical sense, goaded as he is into 'hyperconsuming' contemporary art. By assuming the role of a polemical spectator, the artist proposes an attempt at liberating our perception and critical sense.

On Sunday February, you will have the opportunity to choose  “à la carte” from the catalogue of 68 Septante and watch your choice in Z33.

“Steal this book” - Dora García
Book, 136 pages, 11 * 18 cm, 2009
In the week of February 22nd, the work ‘Steal this book’ from Dora Garcia joins the Grey Zone project.
 
A tribute to Abbie Hoffmann’s pamphlet of the same name, Steal this Book  documents eleven recent performative projects by Spanish artist Dora García. Edited by François Piron, the book presents the private correspondence of the artist with the various interpreters of the situations she sets up in the public space. It proposes a documentation of a body of work without an overview, nor an official line, since it takes neither the artist point of view nor the critic’s. Instead, it discloses questions, misunderstandings and arguments, making this book part suspense story, part user’s manual, part script for a stand-up comedy.

“Steal this film I (2006) en Steal this  film II (2007)” - The League of Noble Peers
Doc’Z in the context of “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone”

Steal this Film I en II deals with the grey zones in media distribution networks today. The documentaries investigate whether the current copyright system – developed for printed press – is still applicable for the internet. In part 1, a series of important players from the Swedish peer-to-peer groups tell their story; from the raid on ‘The Pirate Bay’ to their vision on ‘the culture of piracy’ and filesharing. Part 2 takes a step back and looks in the idea and history of copyrights. The League of Noble Peers, the creators of the documentaries, clearly defend the idea of filesharing. The resistance of the film industry to the P2P technologies is dismissed as self-protection, greed and/or irrational feer. The documentaries caused heavy reactions both from proponents as well as opponents an din that way contribute to the debate about authorship in the digital era.
 
Given its content, it should not come as a surprise that Steal this Film I and II are free for download via the internet. But on February 25th at 8.15pm you can watch it in Z33, free and on the big screen, possibly with an introduction.

Arthur #22 - radio arthur
live online radio program

In arthur #22 radio arthur is deploying strategies that parallel those developed by Jean-François Lyotard in 1984 for his exhibition "Les Immatériaux". French philosopher and curator Jean-François Lyotard adapted French post structuralist thinking onto the exhibition space by relating theoretical texts and audio-recordings, revolutionary inventions, literature, ethnological finds and artistic works in a rhizomatic structure.

For “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone” radio arthur produces a 90-minute programme, with contributions by Franziska Glozer, Lucie Kolb, Marc Matter and Romy Rüegger. The program will be broadcasted live on February 27th, 2010 between 11.30am and 1pm on http://www.lora.ch/ and is accessible throughout the exhibition space as an audio guide from February 27th, 2010. Afterwards, the program will also be available for download at www.radioarthur.ch

“Getting Lost Together – Friendship and Work” - Christine Woditschka
dinner

Christine Woditschka organizes in the context of “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone” a dinner, coupled with a performance and debate.
 
In the framework of the project Getting Lost Together – Friendship and Work, questions of (self-) precarization are discussed. The main focus is on the absorption and paradoxical economic valorization of participation and self-initiative. Following the slogan: Increasing the quality of life through self-realizing and fulfilling work. Or simply: A Passion to Perform (Deutsche Bank).

C: do I confirm precarity? Is there autonomy? Do I have a choice? How do we spend our time together?

M: “Brilliance, independence, is there any kind of freedom beyond that? Freedom is having made it to the top. Freedom is being the one who makes the rules. Love is work, too.”

Getting Lost Together started as a collaboration of Tere Recarens, Halina Kliem and Christine Woditschka with a hot-air-balloon flight, a book release and an installation at Gallery Visite ma Tente in Berlin 2008. It was supported by the Berlin Department for Cultural Affairs.

“titles in progress“ - Vincent Dunoyer
Research
What does a dancer / choreographer do when he doesn’t dance / choreograph?
He invents titles for the work that he wishes to dance /choreograph.
For example: The in-between projects project, Found in translation, Cheap Imitation (although I realize that this is impossible).
 
In 2009 choreographer Vincent Dunoyer started a research project in which he wants to create “choreographical objects”. He wishes to research hybrid forms – between dance, theatre and object – a dance presented as a collection of a priori non theatrical “objects”. Vincent Dunoyer will be working one week in the gallery space of Z33. An open presentation will follow on March 13th.

‘Grand Tourists’ - Sara Manente
Performance
 
Tourists, hunters, landscape designers, savages, painters, gardeners, models, portraits, walkers, passers by, connaisseurs. Different ways of looking at arts and being looked as arts.
 
The primary value of the Grand Tour, it was believed, lay in the exposure both to the cultural legacy of classical antiquity and the Renaissance, and to the aristocratic and fashionable society of the European continent. In addition, it provided the only opportunity to view specific works of art, and possibly the only chance to hear certain music. A grand tour could last from several months to several years. It was commonly undertaken in the company of a knowledgeable guide or tutor.

“Announcement of a secret ritual” - Johanna Kirsch

Austrian artist Johanna Kirsch will prepare during a two week residency the performance “Announcement of a secret ritual”. She mentions:
 
For being invited in an overlapping space which offers possibilities for communication, exchange, emergence, chaos, naivety, interpretations, projections, illusions and disillusions, polemics, friendship and community, I want to provide a ritual which I am going to develop during my stay in the grey-zone.
 
Maybe it will be about the chance to restructure things.
Maybe it will be invisible.
Maybe it will be visible.
Maybe it will be very strong.
Maybe it will not have any effect at all.

“living with knots” - Laia Sadurní
workshop

We can understand a knot as a join, encounter or common agreement.
But, can we also experience them as an attachment to reinforce relations and even sometimes identification and dependency...?
What happens if we consider them as a restriction,
an obstacle that cuts flow and circulation producing stagnation?
 
Being surrounded by this complexity we will try to understand knots by
drawing a collective live diagram around them while practicing through waving
ourselves.

“Sad In Country (Part 1: 52'00", Belgium, 2007 - Part 2: 52’00”, Belgium, 2008)” - Catherine Vertige & Kosten Koper
Doc’Z in the context of “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone”.
With Sad in Country we plunge into the world of the collectives. The documentary explores the collective art actions in Belgium and their intersection with dominant and subcultural political and cultural ideologies that brushed against them. The film shows a series of encounters raising questions about the collective archetypes which emerged during its research and shooting: ranging from micro-institution, family, enterprise, political party to the orgy.
 
'Sad In Country (Part 1)' covers six Belgian collectives : Agency (Brussels, 1992-). Building Underwood (Brussels / Caudiès, 1999-2001), VAGA, A379089 (Antwerp, 1968-1969), Rona Family (Brussels), Club Moral (Antwerp, 1981-2005). And includes interviews with amongst other Kobe Matthys (artist, Agency), Kasper Koenig (Director of Ludwig Museum, Koln, A 37908) Anny De Decker & Bernd Lohaus (Wide White Space Gallery, Antwerp), Isi Fiszman (collector, VAGA, A 379089), Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (artist, Club Moral), Simona Denicolai (artist, Building Underwood) and Ivo Provoost (artist, Building Underwood).
'Sad In Country (Part 2)' covers Ruptz (1975-1977), Soldes Fins de Séries (1978-1983) and the collective work around Jacques Charlier: Total's (1964-1967), STP, Reportage (1967), Terril (1978-1980). Interviewees include: Jacques Charlier, André Stas, Charles Vande Velde, Jean-Pierre Colignon, Jean Louis Sbille, Marc Borgers, Michel Renard, and art crtics Claude Lorent, Pierre Sterckx, & Pierre-Oliver Rollin.
 
Part 1: produced by More Talent Than Space (MTTS) and Komplot, supported by the Flemish Audiovisual Fund (VAF). Part 2: produced by Komplot, supported by Centre de l'Audiovisuel à Bruxelles (CBA) & CGRI.

 “2 ou 3 choses about the inhabitants of the grey zone (2 or 3 things about the inhabitants of the grey zone)” - Lise Duclaux
Inventarisation

In the context of “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone” Lise Duclaux will attempt to inventory the ordinary1 and extraordinary2 grey zone inhabitants in collaboration with spectators3, employees, gardeners, nepotists, opportunists, friends, freaks and strangers.
 
Roaming in the grey zone, au milieu, par terre, en l’air ou sous terre, unexpectedly meeting grey zonians4.
 
1- Ordinary grey zone inhabitant: any living creature who takes up residence in the grey zone.
2- Extraordinary grey zone inhabitant: any ordinary inhabitant who becomes extraordinary as a result of the place being kept tidy.
3- Occupant: small or tall human being - spectator, employee, gardener, nepotist, opportunist, friend, freak or stranger - regularly or occasionally present in the grey zone.
4- Grey zonian: inhabitant of the grey zone.

Duclaux will attempt to gather information (name, text, description) and/or drawings of visitors, employees and the gardeners of the Z33 gardens. These will be kept in a map and posted on her blog liseduclaux.be/greyzone
 
February 7 – May 2, 2010, Z33 surroundings
April 4-10, 1010, Duclaux will be present at Z33 to work on the inventarisation

“Unemployment Utopian Union” - Factory of Found Clothes
call / performance

For “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone” Factory of Found Clothes invites people to take part in the performance Unemployment Utopian Union. FoFC is searching for people who have lost their job and are quite frustrated about that. FoFC presents their workshop as an experiment and an adventure; they strongly believe that art can help people, and invite participants to use their situation to try out a different ‘state of mind’.
To loose your job can – according to FoFC – potentially be revolutionary. Indeed, in moments in which one finds oneself in between fixed positions, lays the possibility to re-invent one’s identity and start a new life.
 
In short, FoFC invites people and allows people to be or become a different person than before.
 
The Unemployment Utopian Union project will consist out of three parts:
 
1.       interviews
2.       preparation for the performance / rehearsal
3.       realisation of the performance
 
Phase 1 and 2 will take place in April 2010 in Z33 and FLACC
Phase 3 will take place in the Fall of 2010 in Gynaika

“24 Hours --> 1 Meter 2009” - Karl Philips
installation
Between February 6 and April 4, you will find a rather strange looking trailer in Z33.
 
Karl Philips created in 2009 as his graduation project (PHL, Department Architecture and Visual Arts, Course Visual Arts) an installation with which he conducted a week long performance. 24 Hours à 1 Meter is a living module existing out of six identical trailers. Together they form one space. Philips attempted to survive one week “on the rhythm that keeps the city alive.” In his final paper, he explains: “To not violate the law on unauthorized camping, I’m moving the living module every 24 hours to the next parking spot, a couple of meters down. In this way I scan the parking space and confront society and its rhythm during the day as well as at night.”
 
In Z33 and in the context of “Nepotists, opportunists, freaks, friends and strangers, intersecting in the grey zone” the trailer will be used for a variety of actions, interventions, and workshops. And sometimes, this it will also serve its base-function: offer sleeping and living quarters for participating artists and performers of the Grey Zone project.
