Jacques Charlier

Jacques Charlier est l’invité de « De Henehoeve Gallery Heks » pour une partie de campagne !
Une exposition essentiellement photographique : « Paysage artistique and other works »

Vernissage le dimanche 29 avril de 15 à 18h
Exposition du 29 avril au 17 juin. Le samedi et le dimanche de 10 à 18h ou sur RV.

De Henehoeve Gallery Heks, à 3870 Heks. Henestraat, 12.

We cordially invite you to the exhibition Jacques Charlier – Paysage Artistique and other works
Dear art lovers,
The long-awaited spring has pushed the doors open and intoxicated with a reawakening of nature. Following this example, we are opening the doors to our first exhibition this year on April 29th. We are very proud that the renowned Belgian artist Jacques Charlier has accepted our invitation.
And we hope to be able to compete with the spring and to arouse Your interest in a highly idiosyncratic as always fresh artistic position.
Jacques Charlier is a conceptual artist who has been asking questions about art for more than fifty years and casting an ironic eye on it’s relationship to reality – how reality works in art or as art.
Often irritating to the viewer is his play with the borders between art-object and everyday object.
What happens, what does it mean, for example, when house painters paint over the green foliage of a tree in autumn colors?
As an artist, Jacques Charlier works in all fields, from comics to photography, film, music, painting, installation and performance. Thus bares the catalog contributed to his retrospective in La Panacée Montpellier 2017, curated by Nicolas Bourriaud, the self-deprecating title « UN ART SANS IDENTITÉ JACQUES CHARLIER ». « An art without Identity » humorously provokes the demand of the art market for a style as a trademark from the artist.
Also Marcel Broodthaers ironized himself as an artist when he wrote, « I came up with the idea to invent something insincere, and I immediately got to work. » In the 1960s and 1970s, the two free spirits were « Compagnons de Route ».
We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition Jacques Charlier – Paysage Artistique and other works – in the De Henehoeve Gallery in 3870 Heks (Be), Henestraat 12. The artist will be present.
Save the date: Sunday, 29th of April, 2018 from 15.00-18.00 hours.
Duration of the exhibition: until Sunday, 18th of June 2018.
From this weekend, the exhibition and the café will be open from 12.00-18.00 hours on Sat/Sun, or by appointment.

La conscience humaine souffrant de sa propre apparition – y compris sous la forme de toutes les choses étrangères auxquelles l’homme est confronté de nos jours : son prochain exotique, l’homme de couleur, l’étranger, le réfugié, le noble idiot, celui qui a des convictions politiques ou religieuses divergentes, la victime et le bourreau, l’immigrant et le SDF, le mendiant et le petit noyé rejeté sur une plage abandonnée, ou encore le visage des créatures intermédiaires maltraitées qui s’avancent dans la pénombre de la conscience refoulée. Ces associations contemporaines aussi se cachent dans l’encyclopédie d’expressions, de silhouettes et de postures auxquelles l’artiste nous confronte. C’est pour cette raison que l’œuvre de Maen Florin m’apparaît comme étant non seulement radicalement psychopoétique et iconographiquement intemporelle, mais aussi actuelle et pertinente socialement. Non pas parce qu’elle renvoie directement à notre actualité, mais parce qu’elle ouvre au fond de nous un espace imaginaire, où l’essence de ce qui nous est étranger se révèle appartenir à ce que nous avons de plus intime.

Lili Dujourie

Hommage à …I (from a series of 5 Hommages, 1972) is one of Lili Dujourie’s first video works. It belongs to the experimental stage of video art, when the technology was still in its infancy. In Hommage à …I, a naked woman – the artist herself – rolls around in white bed-sheets in slow motion. At first it seems that she’s asleep. But after a while she starts to move, rolls in and out of the bed, in a rhythm that makes one think of the twilight state between wakefulness and sleep. The piece is recorded in real-time, without editing. It shows a space that unfolds in time and a figure that’s caught there. Sensuality, the passage of time, boredom – here they go hand-in-hand. The video links to tradition of the female nude, one of art-history’s most venerable motifs. Lili Dujourie deliberately chooses a theme that had no place in the dominant conceptual art-scene of the 1970s. The artist is also her own model, and explains this choice as follows: “The woman has always been ‘the model’, and I wanted to do away with this – as a woman I could hardly manipulate another woman! (…) If you want to evoke the intimacy of the female nude, then you have to do it yourself, you can’t ask a model to do that for you.” Lili Dujourie redefines conventions regarding the relationship between model and maker, between who’s doing the looking and who’s being looked at. The title refers to a homage to art history. No so much one particular image as the whole of art history, all those images that keep resonating in the artist’s memory. The poses that Dujourie assumes are determined by recollections of nudes from art tradition, in her own words “a physical transformation of everything that I’ve seen in my life”.

In Madrigal and Enjambment a bare wooden floor fills the screen. The dressed figures – a woman and a man respectively – roll, fold and unfold themselves, in between alternating interludes. Madrigal is a continuation of the Hommages series, in which Lili Dujourie investigates the image of the naked body. In this series of videos the artist herself often plays the model. In this work, Lili Dujourie unexpectedly turns behind her back and stares into the camera with a foggy gaze. The image suddenly comes into focus, the overview disappears. A madrigal is a musical composition for several voices. The picking of this title is determined by the poetic quality of the word, by the associations and memories the concept of the madrigal evokes from the artist. In 1976 Lili Dujourie elaborated this idea, this time using a man as the model. There is hardly any difference. The man rolls over the floor, just like Lili in Madrigal, but it takes a while before you realize it is a man. The title ‘enjambment’ refers to the deceleration in the rhythmical progression of a love poem. With Enjambment the artist wishes to approach the male in all his fragility, not in his toughness or strength. She wanted to “capture something in the male nude which leans towards the female side of the male”.

Lili Dujourie uses the same model from het video Enjambement for this series of black and white photographs from 1977. The models rolls across the floor and it’s not always clear whether it’s a male or a female model. These photos are a precursor for the colour photos with female nudes that appear later. In her series Dujourie explores not just the sculptural qualities of the human body, but also its fragility.

BLACK BOX – SCREENING

Premiere Screening!

Late opening night screenings in the presence of the artist on Saturday 21st of April from 6pm to 9pm

Over the years the Brussels-based artist Aglaia Konrad brought together an enormous archive of images shot in such diverse cities as Sao Paulo, Beijing, Chicago, Dakar, Tokyo, Cairo or Shanghai. In her new film, Aglaia Konrad brings us to Sicily where we discover one of the most extensive contemporary artworks in the world. Known as The Great Cretto (or Cretto di Burri or Cretto di Gibellina), the site specific artwork has been conceived and undertaken by the Italian artist Alberto Burri (1915-1995). Started in 1984 and left unfinished in 1989, the work was completed in 2015 to mark Burri’s one hundredth birthday. Located on the old city of Gibellina which was completely destroyed by the 1968 Belice earthquake, this landscape intervention appears as a series of white concrete fractures on the ground and pays homage to the victims of the disaster.

Emilio Lopez Menchero

This book serves as a printed memory of the oeuvre of the artist Emilio López-Menchero (°1960, Mol). It documents and illustrates a selection of exhibitions, artistic projects and public performances created in the past 25 years.
Conceptually, the book is based on a statement by which López considers each of his actions a test against reality, an ‘attempt’. Within this context, the title of each project is consequently preceded by the prefix ‘Trying to -’; ‘Trying to situate’, ‘Trying to light up’, ‘Trying to question’,… By trying to infiltrate daily context, López-Menchero aims to generate new situations, confront with reality and contemplate on the meaning of art. Included in the book are essays and texts by Luk Lambrecht, Hans Theys and Koen Van Synghel.
