Under the subtitle: ‘about coincidental and lesscoincidental observations’ the work from four contemporary artists, Veronique Alberghs, Hilde Overbergh, Ellen Schroven and Sofie Van der Linden, is brought together in one integrated project.

The Cabinet is an ongoing project in which CIAP give the opportunity to young promising artists to present their work to a large public.

C O N F LI CT 14—12—2013 → 2—3—2014

Various artworks about conflict situations, such as war, imprisonment, repression, are brought together in this exhibiton.

CIAP is an independent association for contemporary art. CIAP was founded in 1976 and its operating methods are very comparable to the German model of the Kunstverrein, a model that is not well known in Flanders. CIAP aims to respond to the local art scene in a two-way direction, on the one hand by presenting from within the local context towards a larger (eu)regional public and on the other hand by boosting the local artists, art-professionals and public by showing innovative international artistic developments.

Paul Schwer (*1951, Germany) presents at the ikob a spacecrossing and specific installation: Colourful patches of plexi and glass, coming off from the walls to occupy the room. By their light falls, their form and their materiality, the works begin to shine.

First thematic group exhibition that opens the 2014 season, Fata Morgana is based on the observation of contemporary space and its current fragmentation, with works (installations, photographs, paintings, collages, etc.) full of anachronistic visions, mental topographies, organic and urban representations, circulatory systems... With Ruben Bellinkx, Marcel Berlanger, Wim Catrysse, Konraad Dedobbeleer, Andreas Fohr, Katrin Kamrau, Isa Melsheimer, Nicolas Moulin, Benoît Plateus, Adrien Tritiaux, Romain Van Wissen, Freek Wambacq, among others.

Emmanuel Van der Auwera (*1982, Belgium) develops a specific exhibition about justice and crime, which echoes the jubilee of the justice court of Eupen. (A second part of the exhibition will take place at the ISELP in Brussels, 17—10 → 17—11—2013).

The ikob – Museum of Contemporary Art in Eupen is located in the German-speaking part of Belgium, nearby the German and Dutch borders. Its program focuses on emerging and leading contemporary art through the constitution of a significant collection – in progress – and temporary exhibitions – in Dialog. Thus, functioning as a discursive platform for contemporary art with a multidisciplinary and thematic exhibition program, concerned with critical and socio-political issues, the ikob attempts to reflect the matter of frontier.

Atelier à Habiter is a studio / experiment where artists, architects and designers rethink and redefine the concept of 'dwelling'.

Will the modernistic 'machine à habiter', built from standard elements for standard needs, shift into the 'atelier à habiter' where the creative resident as a planner, organizer and designer stands out?

Z33 is a house for contemporary art. Since 2002, Z33 creates projects and exhibitions which encourage the visitor to take a different look at everyday life. It is a unique laboratory and a meeting space for experiments and innovation that makes ground breaking exhibitions featuring contemporary art and design. Z33 does not have its own collection, but has a permanent exhibition offer. You can visit Z33 in the beguinage of Hasselt. Z33 also develops projects in public space and curates projects for external organisations. For each exhibition, Z33 develops a tailored programme for families, teachers, teenagers and children, aimed at individuals as well as groups.

The oeuvre of Navid Nuur (Teheran, 1976) includes a great variety of works related to text, ranging from literal applications to a more conceptual approach to words. This variety forms the basis for an exhibition whose dynamics can best be described by the designation ‘freestyle’.

Berndnaut Smilde (Groningen, 1978) is an up-and-coming talent, with a fresh nonchalance towards art history and existing art practices, and a preference for unusual materials. As a guest curator, Smilde exhibits a personal selection of works from the collection of the

Bonnefantenmuseum in a dialogue with four of his own works from the period 2009 to 2013.

Since his graduation from the Maastricht art academy in 2011, the works of Chaim van Luit (Heerlen, 1985) have generated great interest. In his work, with themes like movement, light and infinity, perception takes its own course and surprise and wonder occupy centre stage.

The Bonnefantenmuseum has a collection of old masters and a collection of modern and contemporary art. The old masters on display include works by mediaeval sculptor Jan van Steffeswert, and early Netherlandish and Italian paintings. The modern and contemporary art collections consist of artworks by internationally renowned artists, with a historically grown focus on movements such as Concept Art, Minimal Art and Arte Povera. The spectacular museum building was designed by Aldo Rossi. The museum also offers various guided tours and activities for children.

With the help of diverse media, including photography, drawing, painting and performance, Katja Mater records events that are simultaneously there and not there. She records a process that does not have a ‘momentum’; layers of different fragments are placed on top of one another, stacked, rotated, in order to ultimately create new images that show a world behind the reality we can perceive with the naked eye.

What We See And What We Know is Katja Mater’s first overview exhibition.

Swedish artist Andreas Emenius (1973) crosses the boundary of traditional and popular culture.

He combines his interests of history, future speculations, film and visual art into a setting that investigates human confusions and disorientation as a response to the contradictions of modern society.

A hommage to writer and illustrator of childrens books Ted van Lieshout (educated at Rietveld Academy), who won several awards for his work. On display will be a large and divers selection of his highly original and somewhat absurd artwork about young people finding their way in society.

Amsterdam-based artist Jan van der Ploeg (1959) painted the walls of the staircase (1rst – 5th floor) as an imposing column of colours. His prodigious wall painting stands in stark contrast to the transparent character of the Glaspaleis (1935), the glassfronted building which houses SCHUNCK*.

SCHUNCK* is a multidisciplinary cultural institution that aspires to act as a dynamo for a discerning and critical artistic and cultural encounter between local districts and the world at large, within the context of the southern Dutch Euro region. SCHUNCK* assembles a fully-fledged professional museum of modern and contemporary art, a research and presentation centre for architecture and town planning, a public library and a music and dance school. Housed in the Glaspaleis, a unique (and famous) edifice built by architect Frits Peutz in 1935.

Art does not need a common language,

it is international by itself.

The association of ten institutions of in the MeuseRhine Region is therefore as contemporary as the art they present. Within a radius of 100 km, the border region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany offers a large diversity of exhibitions and events many of which can be visited in one day. The locations each have a very individual approach and present art in the most appealing way: direct and inspirational, reflective and in a special atmosphere. This brochure wants to increase the awareness of what this region has to offer in terms of visual arts.

It is published twice per year and gives an overview of exhibitions and events.
