BENJAMIN VERDONCK

Between 3 January 2009 and 2 January 2010, Benjamin Verdonck is performing a hundred actions throughout Antwerp that are associated with special dates in the calendar: the first day of the sales, the national holiday, Mother’s Day, Black Sunday, Palm Sunday, a birthday, and so on. The project is called Calendar and the results can be seen in the form of an intervention at the M HKA in spring 2010.

LONELY AT THE TOP Europe at large #5

Vyacheslav Akhunov, Babi Badalov and Azat Sargsyan

With the collapse of the USSR, the European horizon in that direction has been limited to Russia. However, we are quite unfamiliar with what is going on in the dynamic Central Asian states and in the old cultural countries in the Caucasus. This season in the galleries of LONELY AT THE TOP we will present artistic positions from these important cultural regions.

AUGUSTE ORTS

Correspondence

Auguste Orts is the production platform set up by the artists Herman Asselberghs, Sven Augustijnen, Manon de Boer and Anouk De Clercq. On the basis of their differing experiences, they conceive and produce art projects in various genres and formats. The first collective exhibition by Auguste Orts came about on the basis of the frequent letters the four members exchanged about their work and contains two installations by each artist.
