Opening on November 12th 2005 Netwerk, Center for
Contemporary Art, presents the work of Anouk De Clercq. Apart from already
existing pieces she will show in première in Netwerk a new project
called 'typospace’ which she produced in collaboration with Dominique
Callewaert. The exhibition will focus on a number of artists with whom De
Clercq has collaborated in the past. The exhibition is a survey of projects
that have come together often as the result of a dialogue between De Clercq
and others (musicians especially).
A similar focus takes Event#04, a program Netwerk organizes in dialogue
with the artist for December 2nd. That night Log – the new publication
on the work of Anouk De Clercq – will be presented.
Anouk De Clercq (Ghent, °1971) has been working on her wilful oeuvre
for quite some time now. Her earliest artistic work she realized for dance
and theater companies (e.g. The Wooster Group). In 2002 she presented a
highly acclaimed video animation during the Prix Jeune Peinture Belge in
Brussels. For Netwerk she presented in 2004 ‘Horizon’, a journey
through a minimalistic landscape. The presentation of this digital installation
was the occasion on which Netwerk invited Anouk De Clercq for an individual
exhibition.
De Clercq’s digital video’s often emerge as the result of a
collaboration with artists from different disciplines: visual artists, architects
and composers of electronic music. Still her work retains a very personal
touch. She describes the pieces as ‘interior landscapes' in which
image, music and text take the spectator on a trip through an endless and
fascinating landscape, that in the end appears to be completely imaginary.
“What I’m involved in is quite simple: I want to build a concept
that allows me to visualize my emotions using abstract forms”, according
Anouk De Clercq.
