Gouvernement is an independent artistic workcenter and cultural platform in central Ghent; a project that targets a variety of people and disciplines (visual arts, music, performance…). The emphasis lies on cross-fertilazation, “trial & error” and the unexpected. Gouvernement offers weekly concerts on Thursdays, several expos a month, a residency program (INTERNEN) and other less-categorizable incidents.

INTERNEN is Gouvernement's residency program focused on research, experiment and innovation. Participants will be granted 4 weeks of investigation in an embryonic process. Be it very first steps or off-track maneuvers, the accent lies on development rather than on result. It’s about trying, failing and trying again. There are no restrictions on disciplines or themes.

Be it very first steps or off-track maneuvers, the accent lies on development rather than on result. It’s about trying, failing and trying again. There are no restrictions on disciplines or themes.
For their upcoming residency, Atelier Bildraum proposes a triple agenda; first they wish to unleash their ongoing research on the intertwining of image, space and time within the context of Gouvernement. Charlotte Bouckaert and Steve Salembier aim to define a series of new concepts and explore these in situ. Secondly a more theoretical research into the concept of 'control' in relation to exhibitions will be initiated. A series of interviews with people from different disciplines will take place in order to create a first referential framework. Finally Atelier Bildraum will host a presentation event on June 2nd.

Inspired heavily by oriental music, indie rock, blues, drones & psychedelica, Spookhuisje's debut album made quite some impact when it got released 3 years ago. The hypnotic guitar style of Raphael Absolonne, wavering between intimate ambience and brute explosions, quickly gained trademark-status. Spookhuisje as a solo project returns later this year with the release of nothing less than 2 albums.
For the impatient amongst us, there's Spookhuisje 3: a three piece band with Tommy Denys on bass and Tom Lezaire on drums. They've been rehearsing intensively and will try out some new compositions, due to be recorded in summer, for yet another release.
Afterwards Der Grenzgänger (stroom.tv) will continue the journey with a selection of transcendental sounds.

Geistnight Vol. 4: “FAR OUT” curated by Jan Opdekamp (expo/concert/film/
Geistnight offers an artist the time and space to outline some focal points of his work, life and inspirations. It can be a presentation or performance of own creations but is much more a cross-disciplinary get-together with kindred spirits.
Photographer Jan Opdekamp takes on edition 4.
Being brought up in a humble family of 6, summer vacations were not exactly ‘boredom & decadence’ in all-inclusive resorts. Instead, he holds vivid memories of overflying vultures, decomposing sheep cadavers, and a toad being stabbed to a door with a dagger. It is manifest that his sense for “the Far Out” emerged in those ghostly mountain towns he frequented as a kid.
Later, through solo hiking and working on numerous outlandish set locations, Jan developed his initial flash for “off the grid”-surroundings even further. Driven by the, admittedly cliché, German Romanticist concepts of Wanderlust, Sehnsucht and Entgrenzung, he encountered quite a few reclusive, yet resourceful, communities and pictured their imposing natural surroundings.
For the exhibition, he gathered several Kodak Carousel SAV 2050’s slide projectors and invited 3 photographing contemporaries : Catherine Lemblé, Géraldine van Wessem and Kevin Faingnaert. What they share is a common affinity for boundless territory & desolate ways of living.
In addition, Titus Simoens award winning documentary “Miles Away” – a story of two young cowboys in Idaho, will be shown in the micro-cinema.
Under the moniker “Slumberland”, Antwerp filmmaker and musician Jochem Baelus (1/2 of ECHO BEATTY) does a musical performance. With an arsenal of worn-out electromechanical devices (sewing machines, hairdryers,..), the sound of the Kodak slide projectors and the occasional touch of guitar & vocals, he unmistakably captures the vibe of the central theme.

An anthropology of The Tourist
An image of a waterfall on a postcard launches the beginning of a journey towards the pictured sight. An exotic quest during which the photographer allows herself to be guided by various tourists in America. From a distance, she observes the tourists in their habitat, but she also tries to gain insight into the marketing strategies of commercial tourism which has known a continuous growth. 'An anthropology of The Tourist' displays a selection of photographs and videos made during her explorations. Combined with her book 'From here to The Great Elsewhere - and everything in between', which is part of this project.

Een evenement van KUNSTWERKT.
In het kader van de 150e verjaardag van de boeiende kunstenaar Wassily Kandinsky vieren we feest, mét jou. Kandinsky was een roemvolle Rus die aandurfde te experimenteren met abstractie voor anderen die stap waagden. Op het feest is er een expositie van 10 werken door jonge creatievelingen, geïnspireerd door Kandinsky. Daarnaast is er muziek, taart en meer. Net zoals Kandinsky het graag zag, doorbreken we de muren tussen kunstvormen! Kom langs en ontdek opvallend talent.
Jouw werk kan getoond worden op de expositie. Onze jury selecteert namelijk 10 werken en die krijgen een hoofdrol op ons feest. Geboeid door Kandinsky’s spel van kleur en dynamiek? We dagen jou uit om aan de slag te gaan met Wassily’s fotoalbum om zo zijn leven te herdenken hoe jij het wil. Doorblader het album en kies de prent waar jij aan de slag mee wilt. Deelnemen kan vanaf 14 maart en tot 17 april. Meer info? www.hoerakandinsky.be

Interne #2, Diego Latruwe leaves the INTERNEN residency-program.
The results of his investigation will be on view all day (from 9:00) on the 6th and 7th of april and will include the installations “Iconogesis I - IV”, a series of prints made with the images generated by the installations and a publication commemorating the residency. A lecture/performance will take place every hour from 20:00 onwards.
expo:
6/04 & 7/04: 9:00 - 23:00

Interne #2, Diego Latruwe will enter Gouvernement's residency program by mid-march. During his 4 weeks' stay he will investigate the thin line between reality and fiction in conspiracy theories. Based on found vintage on the internet, he will create video art, an installation and/or possibly a book about losing touch with reality and the questioning of “a general truth”. On the bigger picture, his project tackles the isolation/loneliness and paranoia caused by new technologies.
His experiments will be presented to the public on several occasions in the course of the process.
Jazz/ Afro-Cuban music/ Latin vibes influenced by Cal Trader, Mulatu Astatke, Marc Ribot & John Zorn.

Antwerp based recordlabel EKSTER has been releasing vanguard electronic ear candy for almost 2 years now. Their exquisite EXO-compilation has been stuck on our turntable ever since we found it under the christmass tree last year. Reason enough to have two of their dearest sons over for a sonic odyssey.
SSALIVA (live) - Liege-born composer who has been releasing his ethereal music under many monikers. Last years' album "BE ME" (EKS006) reveals both, his sense for lusciousness and disturbance. https://soundcloud.com/
HIELE (live) - Antwerp producer and multi-instrumentalist Roman Hiele will bring some of his favourite knobby devices for a set of crooked, jazz and acid infused electronica.

SCHNTZL is a jazz duo comprised of pianist Hendrik Lasure and drummer Casper Van De Velde. The two musicians first met at the ages of 12 and 14, respectively, and have been constantly playing together ever since, first performing as part of several larger collectives before breaking out on their own in 2014 as the duo, SCHNTZL. Their music sees improvisation intertwined with fully arranged compositions.
Hendrik and Casper are both currently studying jazz at the music colleges of Brussels and Antwerp, but are just as much inspired by other music forms, such as singer-songwriter, classical, and electronica. SCHNTZL is the constant search for the preservation of fragility: how can strict composition and free improvisation be combined? How do acoustic and electronic elements fit together? The unique minimalist way in which they answer these questions leaves enough space for silence and takes you to the essence of music.
In February 2015 they won the STORM! contest for young upcoming musical talent, which earned them a CD release on the W.E.R.F. label and a JazzLab tour in 2016. They also won the prizes for Best Composition and Best Instrumentalist at the Tremplin Jazz Contest in Avignon this year.

Frank&Robbert/ Robbert&Frank - http://
18/19/20 februari van 10h tot 16h voor 7 tot 12 jarigen (120€)
Frank & Robbert / Robbert & Frank is een kunstenaars- duo dat, naast video en beeldend werk, ook theater maakt.
Deze zomer werden ze gelauwerd op Theater aan zee met hun voorstelling „To Break The Window of Opportunity”.
In het najaar deden ze een Solo-tentoonstelling in Netwerk Aalst, en vorige maand stelden ze "The Object As Mediator" voor in Dubai.
In februari slaan deze creatieve cowboys 3 dagen hun tent op in Gouvernement voor een theater-workshop.

Oorklim Jazz collectief presenteert:
Steiger =
Gilles Vandecaveye (Piano) + Simon Raman (drum) + Kobe Boon (Contrabas)
Steiger is een jong jazztrio opgericht door pianist Gilles Vandecaveye, bassist Kobe Boon en drummer Simon Raman. De groep brengt zelfgeschreven, eigenzinnige composities aangebracht door alledrie de leden. Dit weerspiegelt zich in hun spel waarbij iedereen evenveel inbreng heeft.
Ze staan bekend om hun energieke speelwijze, waarbij interactie en collectieve muzikaliteit voorop staan.
Hun muziek vindt zijn invloeden in jazz, pop, rock, elektronische en klassieke muziek.
Steiger speelde reeds op het Gent Jazz Festival (2014), haalde de finale van Jazzcontest Mechelen (2014) waarbij drummer Simon Raman de prijs van beste solist ontving en kreeg een erevermelding bij de Muziekmozaïek wedstrijd tijdens de Gentse Feesten (2014).
Senza Rane =
Marta del Grandi(Zang, gitaar, effecten & toys) + Heleen Andriessen (Piano, viool, zang & toys)
Het was op een warme zomerdag in 2013 dat Marta del Grandi en Heleen Andriessen zich opsloten in een kamer ergens in Gent, samen met een gitaar, een keyboard en een viool. Er slingerden ook nog een xylofoontje en een kikker rond. Wat begon met jazzstandards spelen werd algauw ’Senza Rane’: eigen songs met teksten die ontroeren of een glimlach op je gezicht toveren. Dat Marta en Heleen ondertussen perfect op elkaar ingespeeld zijn horen we niet enkel in de samenzang maar ook bij de improvisatie die de liedjes laat ademen. Ze mochten reeds vele podia kleuren. In augustus 2014 stelden ze hun EP ‘The Tailor’ voor.

Charlotte Smet explores with 'Blue Screens of Death' the bounds of space imposed by the medium of video and creates a platform on which to play with perspective and the illusion that can be brought about by the two-dimensional surface of a projection screen.
Charlotte Smet (°1989) began her artistic education in the Fashion department of Ghent's Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK), later joining the Mixed Media atelier at LUCA School of Arts, where is currently finishing her master's degree in Fine Arts.
Using her own visual language, she researches the space within her installations, in which the visual texture and symbolic experience play a central role.

Het Italiaanse label Almost Halloween Time Records heeft een sterke band met België, die al teruggaat sinds de hoogdagen van de lo-fi en wafflecore.
Nu staan de Belgische bands van het label voor het eerst samen op het podium, wat voor een hallucinante line-up zorgt.
Kom op 4 januari langs in Gouvernement voor optredens van:
Annelies Monseré - Autopilot - Joe Speedboat - Köhn -
Mote - Philippe Guislain - de portables - Wio
Daarnaast kun je je ook aan een mini-expo van het werk van labelbaas Luigi Falagario verwachten - de man gaat er prat de hoes van élke tape/lp met de hand te schilderen - we tonen een (kleine) selectie van zijn werk.
de deuren openen om 15.30, en de entreeprijs is een miezerige 5 euro
We beginnen met een matinee, die overloopt in een avondfeest. Halloweenfeestjes zijn traditioneel een stuk aangenamer dan de zoveelste feestdis in de nieuwjaarsperiode, zorg dus dat je er vroeg bij bent, voor wat nu al hét festival van 2015 lijkt te worden.

Eveline Bouttens is a Ghent based photographer who presents her expo 'A precious few' at GVMT.
HEIDI HAPPY is a Swiss based band who will bring their release of their album to GVMT.
South London's bastardized off-beat-off combo, Poino, first cluttered through the same doorway in 2006. Since then they have continued to untangle and smear their musical abstractions across the European landscape amid cycles of writing exile and deep breaths. 2010/2011 saw the cork pop off their debut curiosity ‘Moan Loose'. Combining erudite proficiency with flailing ignorance it scrapes out a wet melee of caustic ambiguity and acroamatic decay from within the deepest hollows of man's disenchanted consciousness.
New album out now: http://poino.bandcamp.com/

Fel foorwijf, onvervalste volksvrouw, krolse frietkotmadame, dat is Miranda. Ze toont je de zwarte achterkant van de kermis, want het is heus niet allemaal jolijt, daar waar men suikerspinnen draait en een snoezige peuter naar eendjes graait. Ze heeft haar hart op de tong, en genoeg littekens op lijf en ziel om je te doen glimlachen én naar adem te laten snakken. Miranda's gepieker, tussen de sterfdag en de begrafenis van haar minnaar, legt de schoonheid van een getekend leven bloot. Laat je meevoeren op haar nostalgische achtbaan waar levenslust en verval elkaar moeiteloos vinden.

Kader: Samen met Anjana Dierckx en Femke Platteau zijn we vertrokken van het thema zelfhulp en lieten we ons inspireren door de film als narratief genre met een voorstelling als eindproduct. We werkten samen vanaf oktober.
Gedurende het werkproces vroegen we ons af hoe we de technieken die eigen zijn aan film (inzoomen, montage, voice-over,...) konden toepassen op theater. Er werd ook veel geëxperimenteerd met verschillende vormen van spelen en schrijven. Eerst werkten we met zelfgeschreven teksten, om daarna een soort van overkoepelend verhaal te maken met terugkerende personages. Het verhaal bleef gedurende het hele proces veranderen en groeien.
We repeteerden in het Gouvernement en in Campo Victoria (waar ik heel dankbaar voor ben).
Wervend:
Emily Durertak laat haar een jaar volgen om er een verhaal van te maken. Gedurende dat jaar ontmoet ze een lifecoach waartegen ze haar vreemde droom vertelt. Winona Bontinck probeert hiervan een groots verhaal van te maken, maar heeft het niet altijd gemakkelijk.
Bob: What do you mean, you can only see yellow?
Dhebba: Well mister Meyers.
B: Call me Bob
D: (moe) Would you please stop interrupting me.

Eind april stelt Naomi Kerkhove nieuw werk tentoon. Haar recente tekeningen zijn van een ander formaat dan gewoonlijk: het gaat om grote tableaus waarin verstilling de spanningsboog vormt. Het lijken brede panorama’s, maar van dichtbij zijn het gedetailleerde miniaturen in zwart-wit. De sfeer is duister en unheimlich. Wat is er precies gebeurd? Wie vergat het licht uit te doen?

Bratzlavsky brengt sferische Franse tekstmuziek voor de liefhebbers, experiment met een donker randje. Soms mysterieus, soms griezelig of naïef, heel hard of heel zacht maar nooit in het midden. Zachte melodieën en harde teksten - of omgekeerd - met veel dubbele bodems en humor

04/09/2015 expo concert – geistnight vol. 2
Geistnight laat één artiest een avond samenstellen.
Deze keer: Monoliths.
Monoliths is het solo-uitstapje van Lennert Coorevits, zanger en oudste helft van Compact Disk Dummies. Ontstaan uit nachtelijke escapades en met een gezonde portie dansbare melancholie, lijken zijn songs opgetrokken uit verknipte R&B en donkere electronica, en worden ze gevoed door een sterke melodie en ijle vocalen. Live ontpopt Monoliths zich tot een trio, waarbij Lennert zich omringt met wonderkinderen Janus Coorevits ( Compact Disk Dummies, Heraclash) en Orson Wouters (Sleeper's Reign, Transistorcake, Son d'Or). Dat dit live-optreden hun vuurdoop is krijg je er gratis en voor niets bij.

RÄPE BLOSSOMS hebben hun bodem in Gent en spelen post-punk met veel loops en hoeken af. Hun ruw debuut 'Starving Vultures at 7-Eleven' wist lof te oogsten en gaf de toon aan voor hun tweede, coherentere telg uit 2014, 'Ruinenlust', een slow burner waarmee de band zich subtiel door binnen- en buitenland baant. De band heeft stiekem een boon voor Martha Verschaffel en vraagt iedereen samen met haar graag ten dans.
Martha Verschaffel (°1987, Gent) tekent en maakt verhalen. Ze studeerde af als illustrator en master in de beeldende kunsten aan Sint-Lucas Beeldende Kunst Gent. Begin 2015 verscheen haar debuutalbum ‘Lily’ (Bries), waarvan de originelen geëxposeerd zullen worden tijdens de expo en boekvoorstelling in Gouvernement. Ze danst alleen als Räpe Blossoms het haar vraagt.

B aka bert libeert, drummer of 'goose' fame, loves the old skool way of making techno music. the concept: 1 MAN VS 4 MACHINES, making stripped down electronica with no overdubs. Heavily influenced by early 80s electronic body music & 90s techno, his goal is, in his own words, “making people dance to the sounds I like”.
forget EDM, 'B' is ready to bounce at you with heavy ELM (Electronic Live Music).

filip gheysen, shifting
filip gheysen (°1979) is a musician and audio artist, living and working in ghent, belgium, with a passion for sound and experimental music. using only a tabletop guitar, effects and the occasional autoharp, he creates abstract droning soundscapes, stripped of all unnecessary elements, focussing solely on the timbre and tone of his instrument.
it’s this timbre that is vital in his musical works, in that the harmonic spectrums of the drones and the enhanced sounds he typically produces with his electric tabletop guitar are progressively shifting. synonymous with timbre is<span class="text_exposed_show"> the quasi-poetic phrase tone colour.</span>
these elements are equally visible in gheysen’s visual art, consisting mostly of abstract prints and paintings. there is obviously a play with the tones of a colour, thus an inversion of the aforementioned musical term. this pertinent in- and decrease of saturation and of temperature in the pictorial field is comparable to what is going on in his music.
moreover, these are features which are obviously emphasised in the videos the artist has been creating since 2011. they show lines dance rather timidly, make turns or float along accompanied by passing spots and travelling smears in a scenery of inks and paint. the imagery, strongly reminiscent of his prints and paintings, is enlivened by humming guitar sounds. as an inspired symbiosis between his visual art and his music, the video clips constitute a logical step in Gheysen’s intriguing body of work that doesn’t cease to amaze.
trained as a graphic designer, he has also studied ‘printmaking’ at the academy of ghent and had several expositions.

De stilte werd bijna tastbaar, net zoals de helderheid die de opklaring met zich meebracht. Een sinaasappel-achtige stralenbundel viel weldadig binnen. Schilderen, maar natuurlijk!

Debut 12" EP RELEASE SHOW and the FIRST SHOW ever. "Powerful, passionate, and rooted in punk and mid-90's guitar pop.Brand spanking new indie/post-hardcore band comprised of (ex)-members from RISE AND FALL, HITCH, CASTLES and WIEGEDOOD. They cut a rough edge to pumping US and UK-punk-inspired songs and augment it with overpowering riffs, ripping vocals and a driving sound to match."
Debut 12" / tape EP RELEASE SHOW and the FIRST SHOW ever.
NEWMOON
"From the beautiful skies of Belgium has risen Newmoon. A five piece post-punk band layered in reverb and influenced by volume. Forming in 2013 as a two man project, quickly became full over a matter of months they recorded their debut EP "Invitation to Hold" shortly thereafter. With sounds reflecting 90's heroes Slowdive and modern bands as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Newmoon bears the innocence and humbleness to become much more than they could ever expect.

2 generations of disturbing domestic noise rock
Youff
The kind of music that might sound familiar to those who like Pneu, Black Pus and Harvey Milk. A dynamic sound ranging from hard and primitive to fast and energetic. A white noise drum kit breaking walls down with the support of a driving fucked up bass. A wall of sound swinging between slow, hauntingly slow sledgehammer hits to wringing, dissonant, overwhelming passages.
Vandal X
VANDAL X celebrates its 20th birthday, huzzah! This momentous occasion was already celebrated on Record Store Day 2015, with a limited edition single edition
of ‘Flashlight b/w We’ve Had Enough’ on FONS Records – which marked the first time ever the band released on vinyl. And now a new full album has arrived,
with the fitting title VANDAL X, released on CD as well as LP! A fat slab of vinyl in a gorgeous custom-‐made sleeve printed on thick cardboard – a sure
sign that Vandal X means business. The music will equally convince you of this fact: VANDAL X presents eleven sonical sledgehammer blows that will pummel the
listener into a defenceless pulp. Throughout their existence, VANDAL X has achieved quite some noteworthy feats. They recorded with Steve Albini before it became hip to do so. They played reputed festivals like Pukkelpop, Dour and Oppikoppi (in South-‐Africa)and have supported equally headstrong bands like Fugazi, Barkmarket, Sonic Youth and Girls Against Boys. You could easily consider them the godfathers of the new wave of “twisted heavy metal rock” that seems
to be the rage in Belgium (although their name was shamefully absent from the Guardian article covering this upcoming scene.

THE WORLD'S FIRST AND ONLY HEAVY METAL DELIVERY SERVICE
Malmzeit is one of the world's rare bourgeois heavy metal duos, founded in 2003 in Stuttgart, Germany. Earl Grey (throat/bass) and Sumatra Bop (guitar/beats) play their brutal trash/death metal only seated, neatly dressed, while drinking a fine choice of organic tea. Their lyrics cover only the one most important issue of all time: the weather. The duo refuses to produce records and, thus paying heed to the noble tradition of chamber music, exclusively plays live – preferably in the most obscure places.

“Internen” is a residency program focused on research, experiment and leaving comfort zones. Participants will be granted 4 weeks of investigation in an embryonic process. Be it very first steps or off-track maneuvers, the accent lies on development rather than on result. It’s about trying, failing and trying again. There are no restrictions on disciplines or themes.
Besides the 4 weeks on site, additional time for “running-in” and “follow-up” is incorporated.

2.1.1 Describe briefly the path (whether artistic or not) you have followed so far.
Music mainly. Writing and playing songs with my boys from The Van Jets since 2003. Fantasizing about cool concepts and stage stuff. First art performance last summer.
2.1.2 How would you describe your work in terms of themes, style, techniques, …?
Stylisticly I try to match opposites like rough and beautiful. Nice and smart tunes with a trashy look. The Van Jets are a blend of guitars and synths, quite songbased. I also like to keep my writing process a bit naïve, so I don’t like to know too much about it all. Most music or musicians magazines make me wanna laugh or cry. Imagination is my main instrument and I practice all day. Themes are decadence, overconsumption, nihilstic post-society kids, sex, drugs and candy.
2.1.3 What would you consider your most important achievement (whether or not artistic) to date?
Everything about and around the album “Welcome to Strange Paradise”.
2.1.4. Who or what has been an inspiration to your work?
Non-fiction books, David Bowie, Robert Wilson, Gorillaz, Iggy Pop, video and song of “I’ve seen that face before” by Grace Jones, Prince, kids, life, The Clash, A Clockwork Orange, Jackson Pollock, pop-art, Marcel Duchamps.
2.1.5. Which (art) disciplines other than the ones you’re familiar with, draw your attention or would you like to immerse yourself into?
Naïve visual art, performance, sound-art, writing.
2.1.6. Describe what your focus will be during your residency in Gouvernement?
Let’s call it “Future Primitives”
Some friend gave me the published manifest of the Unabomber, the american anti-technology terrorist. Vivid stuff. It sparked a fantasy of a kind of Future Primitive Age, a “downfall” after a major crisis, where we can’t rely on society as we know it. Post-industrial cavemen kind of. AD and BC unite. I’ll experiment with visual and other techniques to make artefacts, sounds, performance, whatever seems to fit.
2.1.7. In which circumstances or environment would you consider yourself at your most creative?
In a retreat, change of environment. A deadline with a specific goal helps also. I like a simple set up without too much distraction to work fast if needed.
2.2.1 How does “INTERNEN” appeal to you specifically?
It’s a project where I’m forced to do things I would otherwise not do so thoroughly, out of laziness or lack of opportunities. It gives me a chance to retreat to a place with a definite goal, both experimenting in the process and making things to show people.
2.3.3. What do you expect from a residency in terms of personal artistic development and in terms of guidance and support?
Basic comfort and sometimes the smell of freshly washed sheets for a sleepover. Let some practical stuff to the Gouvernement people. Informal feedback as in kitchen-talks at lunch or after some beers at night. I expect Gouvernement to give me some feedback once in a while, and also suggestions of art or people that might inspire or help me.
2.3.4 Who (closeby/faraway, realistic/utopic, living/dead) is granted lifetime membership to your ultimate (secret) society?
Robert Wilson, Prince and Damon Albarn.

2.1.1 Describe briefly the path (whether artistic or not) you have followed so far.
When I started drawing as a teenager, it was a matter of immersion. I wanted to get completely lost in the work I was making, the same way I did by playing videogames. It was an escapist approach to Art, that worked very well for me. Today, I still focus on the analogy between different forms of distraction and themes like escapism, longing, transcendence and (the loss of) control that go hand in hand with it.
2.1.2 How would you describe your work in terms of themes, style, techniques, …?
I mainly investigate (through video art & installation) our longing for love, status, dignity and meaning based on footage I find in pop, -games, & internetculture. My source material can be videoclips, gifs, screensavers etc.
2.1.3 What would you consider your most important achievement (whether or not artistic) to date?
Although there’s many things I’m proud of (a breakthrough in a working process, being able to control a medium, a successful set up), I still do not feel I experienced major achievements. I rather view my artistic development on a longer term. I’m still in a phase of collecting experiences/impressions and the processing of information/images. At the moment I consider this as more important than obtaining specific achievements.
2.1.4. Who or what has been an inspiration to your work?
What I do is only relevant in the context of the culture in which I live. My work is a reaction to my daily environment. Therefore, I am mainly influenced by art that reflects this in a direct way: the books by Don Delillo, David Foster Wallace & Douglas Coupland, and the visual arts by Lawrence Lek, Jon Rafman & Alex da Corte.
2.1.5. Which (art) disciplines other than the ones you’re familiar with, draw your attention or would you like to immerse yourself into?
I keep on changing the medium I’m working with and I love to try out new things. In the past I’ve been working with graphical techniques, digital & analog photography/video, electronic music, drawing, painting, images,…At the moment I’m preoccupied with the development, the animation and the publication of virtual 3D-models. The more I understand about it, the more I feel the urge to immerse myself in the digital realm ( e.g. developing games, writing software)
2.1.6. Describe what your focus will be during your residency in Gouvernement?
I am fascinated by conspiracy theories, specifically the way they balance on the thin line between reality and fiction. By reading and watching an enormous amount of supposed conspiracies, I have not only become a bit of an expert but also became convinced by several theories. An astonishing experience which leaves me with the question: Have I become mad or did I just get better informed? I’d like to make video’s, an installation or maybe a book about losing “the sense of reality ” and the questioning of “a general truth”
On the bigger, the project tackles the isolation/loneliness and paranoia caused by new technologies.
2.1.7. In which circumstances or environment would you consider yourself at your most creative?
When I’m alone, early in the morning (after 2 cups of coffee) and essentially “in silence”.
2.2.1 How does “INTERNEN” appeal to you specifically?
I’m looking forward to have conversations about my work with people I would have never met otherwise. The presence of technical means and support could result in a different view on the process. Normally I just learn from Youtube.
2.3.3. What do you expect from a residency in terms of personal artistic development and in terms of guidance and support?
I hope to get a chance to do something unexpected and step out of my comfort zone. Getting support can only accelerate this. Furthermore, I’d like to gain experience in general and get feedback on the presentation of my work.
2.3.4 Who (closeby/faraway, realistic/utopic, living/dead) is granted lifetime membership to your ultimate (secret) society?
Writers mainly, the ones I mentioned earlier in 2.1.4 and also Borges and W.G Sebald.

The “eye in the sky” can read what I’m typing
They keep lists of everything.
Once you cross the line you can’t go back
Can you unlearn what you have always felt?
Once you eat the apple you’re expulsed
The more I know the heavier I feel
I’ll dissapear before soon, you’ll see.
They told me as I am about to tell you
To honor their god, the bull, the owl, the goat

2.3. Describe briefly the path (whether artistic or not) you have followed so far.
Atelier Bildraum is Charlotte Bouckaert and Steve Salembier, a photographer and an architect working together on performances, scenography, installations and visual art. Charlotte studied sociology, photography and scenography. As a solo-artist she has realized several performances and a series of exhibitions in the Brussels region. Steve studied architecture and worked with Stéphane Beel & Lieven Achtergael architects, participating in the realization of several major public buildings. Between 2001 and 2009 he also taught design practice at the Henry van de Velde-Institute.
In 2013 Charlotte and Steve started their cooperation as an artistic duo based on their shared fascination for the intertwining of time, space and image.
A first artistic milestone was realized in 2015 as their first major performance (“Bildraum”) was selected by Theater aan Zee and got awarded by the jury with the Big in Belgium-prize.
2.4. How would you describe your work in terms of themes, style, techniques, …?
Atelier Bildraum’s work consists of installations, photography, video and performances which reframe the correlation between time and space, image and imagination. As a consequence photography and architecture are the Atelier’s two basic disciplines. The artistic research focusses on how the photographic image can escape from its classical frames and becomes an integral part of the spacial context in which it is presented; on how photographic imagery derives its significance from the circumstances it is being made in and from the space in which it is shown; on how the spatial can be created through the photographic and vice versa. The work is about different notions of space & time in our contemporary image culture and it subsequently deals with conflicting themes such as the uniqueness of an image versus its’ current transient nature. Apart from the visual, the auditive is another essential element in the overall work. Sound carries a massive amount of information about spatiality and contributes largely to the sensorial imagination of an audience. The process of creating image and sound, of constructing, transforming, registering and representing space live, is thus often used as a layer of meaning. Consequently it becomes an integral part of the work.
2.5. What would you consider your most important achievement (whether or not artistic) to date?
Taking the time to enable ourselves to answer questions thoroughly. Accepting that time will create only more questions. Cultivating impatience to keep on deliberating the concept of time.
2.6. Who or what has been an inspiration to your work?
Moving from Brussels to the countryside near Ronse, from an urban to a more quiet rural environment. It enables us to observe fewer things more intensively, to distill more thoughts from fewer stimuli. Having a horizon to stare at is incredibly fertile for us.
2.7. Which (art) disciplines other than the ones you’re familiar with, draw your attentention or would you like to immerse yourself into?
Our two basic disciplines, architecture and photography, are above all applied arts and basically offer us a panoramic variety of potential applications. However, every new project creates a new field of fascination. For example; In the past we’ve worked on memory and how it interferes with the spaces we live in, currently we have a huge crush on gardens and landscapes since we’re working on a project dealing with Monet and his Giverny garden. But in the nearby future we plan to do some research on the notion of ‘control’ within the fields of art exhibitions versus performing arts. For this research we plan to have conversations with people from a multitude of different disciplines such as curators, gallerists, artistic directors and producers, writers, journalists, critics, technicians, philosophers and finally also other visual artists, performers and musicians.
2.8. Describe what your focus will be during your residency in Gouvernement?
Atelier Bildraum plans to work on two separate paths:
First we wish to continue our ongoing research on the intertwining of time, space and image and inject our artistic play within the specific context of Gouvernement in order to explore potentially new angles. This research deals with how the photographic image can escape from its’ classical framing and become an integral part of the spacial context in which it is presented; on how photographic imagery derives its’ significance from the circumstances it is being made in and from the space in which it is shown; on how the spatial can be created through the photographic and vice versa. We plan to develop some new concepts and try them out in situ. A trial and error basis for potentially new work.
Second, we wish to initiate a more theoretical and comparative research into the notion of ‘control’ within the fields of art exhibitions on the one hand and performance art on the other. In order to create a proper conceptual framework, we will organise a series of interviews with people from a multitude of disciplines. These talks will raise questions such as; To which degree can exhibitions be constructed experiences in which the visitor’s senses are being controlled by the artist/curator? What’s the relationship between the need of the spectator for freedom of experience and interpretation and the need of the artist for his work being experienced in a well defined and particular way? What aspects can make exhibitions tend to become performed experiences or even theatre? To what extent is contemporary visual art becoming performative?
2.9. In which circumstances or environment would you consider yourself at your most creative?
In an environment that creates a certain isolation and enforces a kind of rhythm. A well defined place and time in which ideas get the space needed to develop and where you can retreat from on a regular basis.
2.10. How does the approach of “INTERNEN” appeal to you specifically?
The idea that question marks are tolerated.
2.11. What do you expect from a residency in terms of personal artistic development and in terms of guidance and support?
Transforming question marks into colons. In other words: create windows with a broader view.
2.12. Who (close by/far away, realistic/utopic, living/dead) is granted lifetime membership to your ultimate (secret) society?
People who are enthused, who try and/or succeed in creating wide windows on the broader world from their own consciously restricted or narrowed down reality.

They compose soundscapes and drones with modest harmonies that occasionally come to surface and eventually let the space vibrate heavily. In March 2013, they released their first COTWL CD # I. In the meanwhile they carried out projects in Bolzano (Italië), Extra City, KW (Berlin) & at Hotel Charleroi.
Atelier Bildraum has a close connection and a strong affinity with the artist Philip Janssens who has his workspace at Charlotte and Steve’s home in Saint-Saveur.
20.05.2016: space-image-time (W.I.P.)
23.05.2016 Valid Lover (live)
Valid Lover (UK) presents a live performance for processed guitar and modular synth.
Layers of played and found sounds are collapsed together into waves of warm distortion, resonance and rhythmic subharmonics.
This performance will also include a unique sonic collaboration with Atelier Bildraum.
Think connections with Fennesz, Mammifer, Ben Frost, SunnO)))
Think cosmic pessimism leaving marks in the dust of this planet.
“There is a kind of music that can be thought of as perfect. That’s not a qualitative statement of taste so much as an attribution that recognizes how fierce dedication to an elegant scope can yield something singular, effecting, evocative. The term applies, certainly, to a series of live improvisations for digitally mediated electric guitar recently posted by Valid Lover” – Marc Weidenbaum (*author of 33 1/3 book on Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II,*)

2.3. Describe briefly the path (whether artistic or not) you have followed so far.
Edouard Devriendt studies at the Faculty of Architecture-KU Leuven. “I am a furniture designer at VORMEN. Within this collective, the interaction between craft and design is essential. This interaction generates creation through collective memory. In collaborating with Atelier Brenda, I wish to get to know my own individuality”.
ATELIER BRENDA is a duo, Sophie Keij & Nana Esi, graduated from LUCA Ghent School of Arts in graphic design. “We were both trained in something else before this; Interior design and communication science. We split our work so far in creative direction, graphic design, installation, multimedia, scenography in order to perceive the space as a decor. We roughly had 19-ish projects between 2012 and 2016, within the discipline of creative direction, 21-ish non-commercial graphic projects and 6 expositions and we recently gave 1 workshop at the Sint-Lucas Gent. Some examples: Film festival Vooruit, Sloggi, Stroom, LUCA, Garry Wilson, 10DaysOff, FullMoonHealing, OriginalEskimo, SlechteStijl, Nosedrip and Tank#13. Our focus is on translating our vision of the world through the use of various media.”
2.4. How would you describe your work in terms of themes, style, techniques, …?
E.D.: My work usually defines itself in a very pure form. ‘Form follows function’ and not the other way around. Very important when designing is ‘Taking your pleasure seriously’ (Charles Eames)
A.B.: Both of us were interested in the same things from a different background, in training and life experience. Thus creating a tension in our own area of interest. By our own initiatives we are always hopping from one project in the other, with focus on Creative Direction. Why this term; Because this describes the aesthetic and conceptual creation and it’s applicable to everything. It is a form of design(ing). It is an excuse, or even better, freedom to be able to play different roles. In our body of work there are always references traced back to our youth. Brenda represents the growth process from girl to woman. Therefore it’s vital she can grow with. The ambiguous tension between amateurism and professionalism is a recurring theme, as well as naivety versus your own truth in this world. Humor and spirituality. Function and banality must challenge each other to dance. We want to narrate and translate by use and collage of materials and information. They are the results of a quest.
2.5. What would you consider your most important achievement (whether or not artistic) to date?
E.D. Starting up the VORMEN-collective and designing within its framework.
A.B. Installations at Tank#13 at Entrepot Brugge, scenography for short film “Another Moonscape”, FullMoonHealing festival, www.stroom.tv and the international radio festival in Amsterdam.
2.6. Who or what has been an inspiration to your work?
E.D.: Architecture & Design
A.B.: Matter, screenshots, details, structuralism, chaos, mystery, history, foresight, judgment, progressiveness, current events, repetition, appropriation, collage, authenticity, collaboration, originality, coincidence, the situation, presentation, collecting, astrology, new age, feng shui, typography, graphic design, books, niche, fashion, pop culture and www.stroom.tv.
2.7. Which (art) disciplines other than the ones you’re familiar with, draw your attentention or would you like to immerse yourself into?
Together we want to delve into the OBJECT and in the aspect HARMONY;Its functions, what defies form, what space does with a shape, How does form define space? black/white-positive/negative, dimensions, reusability, symbolism.
We notice that we all 3 get along on common ground, but we are as well very different. What we want is to learn from each other’s qualities, grow and become to a cohesion. We have known each other for quite a long time and this seems to us the ideal time to explore together for the first time.
2.8. Describe what your focus will be during your residency in Gouvernement?
Dialogue
Space and harmonie
Play and openness vs. content and dialogue, Paternalism
Evaluate each other’s work or even take over and change
Balance
Respect each other’s individuality, Ping Pong,
Controlling the uncontrollable, Cross-pollination
Sculpture vs functionality
Coincidence
An outlet of what has been brewing for a while in terms of ideas and give expression to it. Presentation. Readability/Illegibility
2.9. In which circumstances or environment would you consider yourself at your most creative?
A workshop where you collect your (work)material, that gives space to think, sit, sleep and experiment. A space that is not your own ‘comfort’zone, to be outside of your own context or to be in the story of something/someone else; Context. Time (to also ‘not’ be productive). Dialogue
Project based.
A Deadline.
2.10. How does the approach of “INTERNEN” appeal to you specifically?
The idea of a process/journey
The possibility and support to (re)work, grow and exhibit.
It offers a practical working environment, such as a residence should.
“Gouvernement” has a warm and open character.
We prefer project-based assignments, aspect of time.
A new space equals a fresh start.
2.11. What do you expect from a residency in terms of personal artistic development and in terms of guidance and support?
reachability
patience
open nature
conversation
interpretation
feedback
technicality
portfolio
