During Antwerp Art Weekend, From Me To You Space, in collaboration with Carl Haase, will present an exhibition in line with the space's annual theme, spotlighting four artists/publishers whose practices engage with words, language, and writing. Each day, we will shift focus to a different approach, highlighting the diverse and distinctive ways these artists explore and reinterpret the relationships between language and artistic expression.
Participating Artists: Annabelle Binnerts, Kristof Van Gestel, Clara Amaral, Jeroen Peeters
Annabelle Binnerts' work envelops reader-viewers within language, and beckons them to step through a door, into an elsewhere hidden behind written words, where the boundaries that separate the world into distinct entities become porous and open to interpretation.
Kristof Van Gestel is a participative visual artist. Since 1999 he makes artworks and projects that focus on questioning and finding a place for art and creativity in the daily world.
Clara Amaral works with writing, performance, printed matter and publishing. Her interdisciplinary practice questions what it means to be a reader, to be a writer, aiming to expand existing modes of reading, writing and publishing.
Jeroen Peeters is an essayist who works across the media of writing, not-writing, performance and publication. He researches matters such as ecologies of attention, material literacy, readership, commoning and cultural rewilding.
