Dear Friends,
We cordially invite you, on this Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 12:00 pm, to the inauguration of our new collection of tarpaulins around a small cultural drink. This event is a preview of our upcoming exhibition in March 2022 based on the photographic tricks of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. You will be able to discover, as a preview, 8 works from the upcoming exhibition in which the characters are staged in different ways by playing with the photographic medium.
We look forward to seeing you on December 18, 2021,
Friendly and culturally,
Wodek

OPENING 28/04 -12am
A visual artist from Ghent, passionated about photography and architecture, Filip Dujardin designs unique works that reinvent the urban space. Between realism and fiction, his photographic assemblies stimulate our attention and sharpen our eyes by proposing a new point of view on the environment that surrounds us. Alongside many photographs presented in the museum's rooms, the highlight of this exhibition is the creation of six new banners - manipulated, mixed and rearranged panoramas of the cities of Ghent, Brussels and Katowice (PL) where the artist recently exposed – which will be placed in the cultural park of Atelier 34zero Muzeum.
15/09 – 14/10/18
OPENING 15/09 -16pm
In the context of the next communal elections, Atelier 34zero Muzeum proudly presents its own "gallery of portraits". At the request of the museum, eight renowned artists bring a contemporary and artistic touch to the classic election campaign. Each artist engages in a dialogue with a candidate chosen from different political parties who has been interested in contemporary art during the last legislature. The result of this particularly fascinating interaction between politics and art can be seen from 15 September in the cultural park of the Atelier 34zero Muzeum.

OPENING 22/09 - 12am
The relationship between man and horse holds a dual perspective. On one hand the animal is always admired, honored and considered noble, on the other hand it is a relation of domination for utilitarian and economic reasons (until the last century).
Multiple allegories of the horse left traces in the imagination and gave rise to numerous productions in various fields: artistic, literary, cinematographic, etc. Horse riding is both in literature and cinema often seen as the starting point for adventure. In advertising, the horse generally embodies, by its qualities of grace, power and speed, the alliance between dream and reality, virility and femininity.
When it comes to art the horse is the most represented animal since Prehistory and is one of the oldest artistic subjects. It appears in a great variety of media: paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs and films. In art history the horse is most often represented in hunting scenes, on the battlefield, as a support for the main figures (reinforcing the power of the one who rides it) or as a draft horse for vehicles. Despite the disappearance of the utility of the horse during the twentieth century in favour of technology, the animal remains present in art thanks to many modern and contemporary artists.
In its almost forty years of existence the Atelier 340 Muzeum / Atelier 34zero Muzeum has always paid special attention to the relationship between the artist and the subject and the way in which that dialogue influences the concept, directs the development of the work or is 'held hostage' by the artist. Based on this idea, the international and collective exhibition presents both artworks and reproductions on 20 m² banners, installed in our exhibition halls and in our cultural park.

Atelier 34zero Muzeum presents the work of contemporary, American artist Keith Boadwee (born in Meridian, Mississippi, 1961, lives and works in Emeryville, California).
This work is both serious and humorous. Serious when it questions the canons of Western painting, and confronts conceptual art and performance, or when it enters into dialogue with Otto Muehl's Viennese actionism or Jackson Pollock's action painting and abstract expressionism. Humorous when Boadwee subverts and makes fun of this dominant hierarchy through a queer lens and with a razor sharp wit.
20 / 04 – 04 / 06 /2017
VERNISSAGE 20 / 04 / 2017 – 7pm
The work of Michel Walgraeve is full of sensitivity as well as of humor. His black and white photographs constitute an attempt to convey to the spectator the world around us.

In September 2016, Atelier 34zero Muzeum took the side of originality by installing, in its garden, a reproduction of the photographic staging Pissing in Mouth created in 2004 by the American artist Keith Boadwee. The Anglo-Saxon Puritan spirit has made its way into the meanders of the northern districts of Brussels, this work, as well as a few others before it (remember in particular the outcry caused by the Bipolar Perversion of Pascal Bernier in 2010), Had to be withdrawn as a result of vehement protests by several local residents.

Ten years later, the works of Leo Copers (BE), Nils-Udo (DE), Bernar Venet (FR) and many others return to the Atelier 34zero Muzeum for a major retrospective : Le Grand Retour. Joint by works of the permanent collection, the themes of plants, abstraction or the place of the human being in society are all represented. We must indeed speak of a great return, even of a happy reunion !
20/6 - 27/9/2015
OPENING 19/6 - 7pm
The first exhibition is dedicated to Patrick Guaffi. It shows a selection of sculptures having in common they all exist out of snail-shells. Every piece is made with materials -like a goose's feather- bearing well-thought-out meanings. These works question the form of memory, souvenirs and dreams / nightmares. In the same way the sculptor evokes the fragmentation of an instance, of the body and of personal memories.

This spring, Atelier 34zero Muzeum honors the Belgian sculptor Jacques Talmar. The monographical exhibition at Atelier34zero Muzeum accentuates the opulence and roundness of the body. In the 1960's Talmar begins to be interested in big bodies, overweight, chubby, thus allowing the exploration of the abundance of human forms and a play of curves and counter-curves shifting, with a rare sens of volume, from one plan to another.

From the 6th of December 2014, Atelier 34zero Muzeum shows the exhibition Wisła Stories, a bi-disciplinary project of Peter the Bruyne (BE), photographer living in Bruges and Marc Peirs(BE), journalist of the VRT and Poland expert. Together they followed the course of the river Wisła crossing all of Poland. The goal of this journey was to grasp the breathtaking changes that Poland is undergoing. The result of the research can be seen in this exhibition where the characteristicaly blurry pictures of Peter de Bruyne are in dialogue with the texts of Marc Peirs. The result offers a personal vision that tries to let the public discover or rediscover this country and the changes it is debating.

During its thematic exhibition Approche aux Constellations, the Atelier 340 Muzeum discovered the work of Belgian photographer, Pierre Radisic, and has invited him back for a major solo exhibition. The exhibition results from a meeting between a photographer and a sculptor. They share their interest in lines, volumes and textures, folds and amusing associations - on the body as if on unexplored territory. An unknown which we should map, but not touch : at first selecting, drawing regions and areas, then gradually approaching them from afar to appreciate their visualisation. The projection of the film Heavenly Bodies, which Pierre Radisic produced with Walter Hus at the Brigittines in 2005, will be central to an exhibit of a selection of photographs from the 1994-1996 series bearing the same name, and covering half of the Atelier's 2000m² exhibition floor.
At the end of the exhibition, the Atelier 340 Muzeum will present a selection of Pierre Radisic's entertaining photographs and a short interview will be screened between the artist and the curator in the café culturel, which adjoins the exhibition space.

Since early childhood, I have been intrigued by how couples resemble each other. While strolling in the streets, eating in restaurants or just observing daily life, I noted their similarities to the point of considering each couple as twins.

Since always, the artists, looking up at the sky, have tried to picture the universe. Far beyond a single aesthetic inspiration regarding celestial constructions, it is a deep reflection about human presence in the world they have carried out.

Après son exposition de 2007, "Toutes les couleurs sont autorisées à condition que cela n'empêche pas le commerce", l'Atelier 340 Muzeum se voit constamment poursuivi par les couleurs dans tous leurs états. Dans le cadre de la prolongation de cette réflexion, nous avons préparé une nouvelle proposition intitulée "et toujours de la couleur".

Le groupe Lodz Kaliska, fondé à Lodz (PL) en 1979, a célébré ses 30 ans d'existence en 2009. A l'occasion de leur "300è anniversaire" comme ils ont préféré l'appeler, ils ont créé une exposition "Les hommes peuvent pourrir" montrée au Centre d'Art Moderne de Zamek Ujazdowski (Warszawa). Nous avons voulu présenter cette exposition à l'Atelier 340 Muzeum afin de faire découvrir au public belge ce groupe polonais mythique.

Une certaine culture de la couleur par Wodek
L'amorce de l'idée de l'exposition "Toutes les couleurs sont autorisées à condition que cela n'empêche pas le commerce", s'est produite lorsque je visitais l'exposition La couleur importée (Ready-Made Color) au centre d'art Passerelle à Brest (FR). Deux artistes français, Claude Briand-Picard et Antoine Perrot, en étaient les commissaires.

« La nature (les forêts et les lacs) est omniprésente, comme dans très peu de pays européens. Il faut aussi mettre en relation le silence de cette nature et le caractère de souffrance silencieuse, un peu masochiste, des Finlandais.
Ce qui nous a le plus intéressé, ce sont les relations avec la nature elle-même, avec les éléments naturels peu ou pas transformés plutôt qu’avec les éléments manufacturés. Nous nous sommes retrouvés avec des problématiques similaires à celles de 1985 pour l’exposition De l’Animal et du végétal dans l’art belge contemporain. Mais la position des artistes belges est plus individualiste, plus active que celle des finlandais, plus solitaire, plus passive.
Beaucoup d’artistes posent des questions sur les rapports entre l’homme d’une part et la nature et les animaux de l’autre… »

La création de cette exposition découle directement de l’exposition confrontative que j’avais organisée il y a cinq ans avec Patrick Dougherty et Adrian Maryniak, Le Mouvement intuitif...
Pour cette nouvelle analyse de ce thème, étant donné que celui-ci est très vaste, j’ai voulu me concentrer sur le mouvement intuitif circulaire, ou sur l’«encircularité».

L’A.C.A.I. (Association des Centres d’Art indépendants) est la prolongation d’Etat des Lieux, vaste réflexion sur la place de l’art aujourd’hui dans notre société. L’A.C.A.I. a été créée en 1998 afin de se positionner en tant que groupe d’organisateurs indépendants menant une action intellectuelle au service des arts plastiques actuels en Communauté française. Le manque évident de réflexion de la part des instances politiques à propos du fonctionnement des associations artistiques indépendantes nous poussa à réagir du point de vue culturel face à ce vide structurel.

Outre le fait d'être un élément organique du monde intérieur de l'artiste, le matériau provenant de la Maison et de la vie quotidienne possède le contenu le plus stable et permanent dans toutes les cultures et c'est pourquoi Anu Tuominen travaille avec lui.
Elle travaille avec cette stabilité, rompant les associations persistantes et les équilibres, révélant les associations profondes, ontologiques et basiques par des déplacements paradoxaux et provocateurs.
(Aleksandr Borovsky, “Statement”,
in cat. Anu Tuominen, 2003)
2004
L'artiste sonde, par cycles de travail, les profondeurs de champs sociaux tels que la famille, la religion, la recherche, la médecine, la technologie, la loi et la culture. Elle crée un psychogramme critique de la société, un réseau finement tissé de relations, dans une esthétique originale proche de la bande dessinée.

La rentrée est l’occasion pour l’Atelier 340 Muzeum de dresser un bilan de ses collections depuis 1979. Si la situation du centre d’art contemporain indépendant ne fut pas toujours facile, les récents achats de quelques œuvres par la Communauté française leur a offert un « ballon d’oxygène ».
29/03/2003 – 25/05/2003
Faisant suite à l’édition en 1999 du Catalogue inventaire des collections de la Communauté française de Belgique couvrant la période 1993 – 1998 relative à la peinture et au dessin, un nouvel ouvrage vient de paraître, pour la même période. Il est consacré à la sculpture, aux installations, au mobilier et au bijou contemporain et regroupe les œuvres de quelques 70 artistes. Une sélection des œuvres a été opérée pour l’exposition «Particules Elémentaires» accompagnant la sortie de cet ouvrage en veillant à privilégier les œuvres qui n’avaient pas encore été montrées auparavant.

Erwan Ballan – Jean-François Demeure
L’exposition, intitulée Matières grasses, juxtapose une période de travail bien précise chez Erwan Ballan et Jean-François Demeure. Pour le premier, il s’agit d’une réflexion développée au cours des trois dernières années - l’utilisation de la silicone – tandis que pour le second, il s’agit d’un travail réalisé en 2000 à l’occasion d’une résidence d’artiste à Cork (Irlande).
