Writing on works like RELAY and UNTITLED by Paul Czerlitzki, included in the artist’s show at BEIGE, brings back images of various Volcano eruptions and the traces they leave behind. On one image, the totality of what used to be a village was completely covered by masses of light gray dust. The interiors of a kitchen, along with the shapes of cans, vessels or tables, are covered in a fluffy, thick layer of dust (a sort of mirrored replacement of the real object) as a result of the earthly breathing. Only for a small moment, before it disappears again, through a wind or touch. While after time the ashes lower from the air to cover various surfaces, liquid stone, on the other hand, shapes the landscape and changes it by pressure. Moving without control, only guided by the multifaceted shapes of the ground. There is something profound yet fragile about the very nature of materials that make themselves space and how they move through the air and on the ground.

Paul Czerlitzki works as a painter, guiding pigments and paint in an indirect manner that balances between control and letting go within the boundaries of an artistic program that he has developed over the years. It allows variations in a minimal outline, concentrating on the basic principles of painting. His methodology, which he keeps coming back to in long series of works, allows him to operate as an instructor for the materials he works with. The artist takes paint and a painterly underground (canvas or walls), the very fundamentals of the medium, as his main working material, and deconstructs and maneuvers around the highly charged terms and histories of painting.

Shaped by the process of time and embracing chance, all works in his series RELAY consist of unfixed pigments deposited on canvas, welcoming traces and damages to enter the thin layer of dusty paint, allowing its fragility ever further. Only through those events, the very nature of the materiality becomes visible. With another layer of pigments (often in a different color tone), the works are being revised; scratches and touches that resulted of handling, are covered by another layer which results in partly deeper color and half-hidden traces. The monochrome paint thus creates several shades (in this exhibition it is red), by different amounts of paint applied. This creates certain depth on the surface, thicker and dark amounts of paint, and very thin and light layers.

A similar strategy was applied for the wall drawing UNTITLED: While pigments flow and eventually touch the canvas in RELAY, paint is sprayed through canvas that was previously fixed onto the wall, leaving traces and touches of paint back on it, carrying the irregular patterns of canvas, sort of as a negative imprint.

Both series combine a sense of materiality that always allows the process to take charge of the painterly outcome. That way, his process becomes part of what the work is, how fast paint dries and what way it behaves. These physical aspects, define the ground the artist created for himself. A space in which definition and process are the main figures in his minimal approach, that is very much site specific, as this exhibition shows.
Dust, which describes not the material itself but rather a time-based process and condition is also reflected in the show’s title: Not That Red. As in: Almost, not yet, in relation, a color, yet not quite there, a timely stretch, description, condition, a function, a gap?

Beige is pleased to present new works by Heidi Voet.

The exhibition Am I moving atoms when I wave my hand? starts off from the physical gesture of waving one’s hand as an acknowledgment of a social context and a form of communication. The hand as a tool through which one connects, both tender or cruel, and interacts with the material world.

As one of the earliest motifs identified in art history, the hand gives agency and defines the specific abilities of primates. Whereas today, the creases and veins of the palm are used as biometric information to map identities. With the focus on a gesture through which one now shares and communicates personal information, the exhibition places this ordinary gesture in a context of world politics and future building.

For Am I moving atoms when I wave my hand? Heidi Voet worked together with a medium and AI developer to read the palms of world leaders, based on media images of their waving hand. Intimate details about aspirations, trauma, relationships, character flaws or strengths, and predictions, are read and articulated by both
medium and machine. The lines of the palms are translated into glass neon signs and placed on modular structures adorned with materials to form portraits of contemporary world leaders.

The glass tubes are filled with noble gasses such as Neon and emit a strong, coloured light when electric current is applied and the ionised gas rushes through the fragile veins. The element Neon, from the Greek work ‘neos’ or new, consists only of a single atom. An element more common in the cosmos than on Earth, where it is found mainly in the cracks of rocks in the Earth’s crust. Neon signs refer both to the early 20th century commercialisation and the obsession of man to explore far beyond Earth’s horizon.

The exhibition Am I moving atoms when I wave my hand? reflects on intimacy, agency, power and building futures. Through the abstract portrayal of powerful individuals, questions are posed concerning the structures that uphold contemporary society. How gestures, bodies, materials and signs are read to find a sense in the entanglement.

Heidi Voet lives and works in Brussels and Taipei. Her multidisciplinary practice is concerned with the place of an individual in contemporary societies, and locating this within cultural, historical and universal narratives. The interconnectivity of these elements is evoked in her practice through the use of everyday objects which are placed in large scale installations, sculptures and performances, creating links between the singular object or individual, and larger entities.

She recently participated in A Madeleine Moment: The Technology of Memories and Emotions curated by Amy Cheng at Forever Life Foundation, Taichung (TW) and But don’t tell anyone curated by Joanna Warsza at Elefsina (GR). In 2021 she was part of Beaufort 2021 curated by Heidi Ballet.

BEIGE is proud to announce the new exhibition My Address by Emmanuelle Quertain.

The exhibition My Address presents 440 watercolors painted while looking at a computer screen. The entire show is thought as a portrait of the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the artist. These watercolours partially transcript the subjects consulted online as well as a “time of focus”, concentrates on the virtual documents. The whole esthetical work of this exhibition proposes to the viewer a definition of the value of numerical data through painting. It’s also a way to approach the intimacy of the modern subjectivity.

Emmanuelle Quertain (°1987, Uccle; lives and works in Brussels) deals with the mass production of images in today’s society through painting. The eye is saturated therefore “we see nothing, yet there is something to see”. Through painting Quertain investigates and reframes the world around us.

After studying painting at ERG, School of Graphic Research in Brussels, she won the Young Belgian Art Prize in 2015. She had solo presentations at Nagel Draxler, Cologne (DE), EMERGENT, Veurne (BE), KRIEG, Hasselt (BE), CC Strombeek (BE) and Project room Galerie Baronian, Brussels (BE). The work was recently featured in group exhibitions at SMAK, Ghent (BE), Centre de la Gravure, La Louvière (BE), KIOSK, Ghent (BE), Kasteel van Gaasbeek, Gaasbeek (BE) and Roger Raveelmuseum, Machelen-aan-de-Leie (BE).

Her work is part of various private collections and the following public collections: MAC’S Musée des Arts Contemporains Grand-Hornu (BE); Cera Collection, M, Leuven (BE); Collection of Kasteel van Gaasbeek (BE) and Collection Vlaamse Gemeenschap (BE).

An artist talk was held between the artist and curator Nadia Bijl on October 14, 2023 at BEIGE, Brussels.

BEIGE is delighted to present Recent Paintings, an exhibition by Béatrice Balcou (b. 1976, Tréguier, France. lives and works in Brussels), featuring new works on paper.

Whether through a stormy and atmospheric painting by William Turner; or a delicate and vibrant work by Agnes Martin; a rigorous and systematic print by Claude Rutault or a romantic yet melancholic photograph of Bas Jan Ader on his boat – in her solo show at Beige, Béatrice Balcou displays the restorative and emotional gestures that take care of the works of art. Through these gestures she investigates our relationship to the value and the role of art today.

The exhibition is composed of pages from monographic art books which suffered water and time damage. They were subsequently professionally restored in her studio with the help of two students from the restoration department of La Cambre. The project focusses on the restoration of the reproduction of a painting. The work of Balcou typically highlights the different agencies that take part in the life of the art work: the technicians, the registrars, sometimes even the cleaning agents and in the case of Recent Paintings, the restorers and in another way the publishers of art books. Balcou therefore levels the playing field between the artist, photographer, editor, collector, printer, restorer.

Lying underneath this apparently unrelated choice of works is their approach in portraying a natural element such as a seascape through abstraction; projecting through the lens of their own sensibility a depiction of one of the most classic examples of the aesthetic sublime. Through restoring their appearance to what it originally was, the artist underlines how every transformation and passage from a medium to the other – from actual artwork to catalogue reproduction – has already transformed them into something distinct.

Béatrice Balcou describes the process as follows:
« The restoration was carried out in collaboration with Mathilde Bezon and Camille Jallu. The pages were restored to be preserved over time. They were first dry cleaned, and then washed in various agar baths. Discolorations and distortions were reduced to improve the readability of the work. Next, they were stabilized in order to restore their physical integrity. The missing parts in the sheets were recovered with paper fibers similar to the original support. The most difficult part was filling the big or small gaps by “illusionist retouching” or by a neutral background. Some actions were even not possible at the risk of destroying the work. When finally the decision has been made to stop restoring, the last step consisted in flattening and relaxing each sheet – protected in between non-woven papers and blotters – under several weights, and then wait… ».

Various international institutions organised solo or duo exhibitions featuring her work, including Musée d’art de Joliette (Joliette, Canada), Société (Brussels), Rozenstraat – a rose is a rose is a rose with Tlön Project (Amsterdam), M Museum (Leuven, Belgium), Iselp (Brussels), Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain (Luxembourg), Le Quartier Contemporary art center (Quimper, France) and the FRAC Franche-Comté (Besançon, France).

Her work has been featured in group shows at Jeu de Paume (Paris), Kunsthalle Recklinghausen (Germany), Société (Brussels), Fondation CAB (Brussels), Salle Principale (Paris), Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto, Japan), Kunstverein Langenhagen (Germany), FRAC Bretagne (Rennes, France), Kunsthalle (Mulhouse, France), Été 78 (Bruxelles), WIELS (Brussels), FRAC Franche-Comté (Besançon, France), Center Georges Pompidou (Paris) and Palais de Tokyo (Paris).

Beige is pleased to announce the exhibition: Hocus Pocus, with works by Jurgen Ots and Heidi Voet.

Jurgen Ots gives new life to objects by turning them over, seeking them out and experimenting with them in assemblages. For the exhibition Hocus Pocus, Ots worked with the representation of the folkloric music tradition, combining record covers of mechanical orchestras and metal disks made for music boxes. His material, found on flea markets, is consistently turned into the archeologic domain of human communication, language, images and identity. The works in this show present six record covers paired with a metal music disk. The disks and the LPs refer to a nostalgic time, presenting a world that is gone which lives only through this manufacts: in this series we can observe the theatrical and the kitsch juxtaposed with the austere and rusty. As the LP covers for the records of the massive Decap organs are beginning to fade, the musical discs have already become obsolete to the point it is for us hard to imagine the melodies they produced. The titling of the works – a pastiche of the inscriptions found on both elements of each piece – becomes a playful attempt to reconstruct their intended use and original place in the world through association of meanings, opening entryways and portals to the organ rooms pictured in the covers and multiplying the spaces within the gallery.

The work of Heidi Voet investigates the position of an individual within contemporary societies, embedded in cultural, historical and universal structures. Her practice illustrates this interconnectivity through the use of everyday objects comprising her sculptures and installations, thus linking the individual to the larger entity. Starting from hacked personal data, Heidi Voet presents for the exhibition at Beige two sculptures, two stolen and reconstructed identities, two possible outcomes of the same dataset. These life-size sculptural portraits are comprised of a vase, representing the female and the domestic, and a cast of a ball, representing the male and the public domain, covered by a wig meticulously imitating the hairstyle of the presumed victim. Their elements share a complex relationship, both the vase and the ball are reproductions – the vase is a copy, and the ball is cast – made redundant and cold; whereas the wig is on surface realistic and seductive, and quickly becoming uncanny. The sculptures are turned away from the viewer and placed in a multi-colored display, rendering the true colors and materials invisible and alienating the viewer’s gaze.

Jurgen Ots lives and works in Brussels. Most recent exhibitions include: CC Strombeek, Brussels 2021; Biennale de Curibita, 2020; Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich, 2019; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, 2018; BOZAR, Bruxelles, 2018; Gemeinde Museum, 2010.

Heidi Voet had recent solo exhibitions at BANK, Shanghai, 2022; Project Fulfill Art Space Taipei, 2020; Sint-Lukas gallery Brussels, 2018. She participated in group exhibitions as Beaufort21 Triennale, 2021; CHAT Center for Heritage, Art and Textile Hong Kong, 2019; S.M.A.K. Ghent, 2017; 11th Shanghai Biennale, Shanghai, 2016; Center for Contemporary Art Vilnius; and Wiels Brussels, 2008.

Beige is pleased to announce the new exhibition 1, 2, 3 Pirelli by Willem Oorebeek. The exhibition gathers for the first time all the works of the celebrated Pirelli series, started in the mid-nineties.

The work of Willem Oorebeek (b. 1953, Pernis NL; lives and works in Brussels) focusses on the perception of the image and the message as seen through graphic technical processes. He often appropriates printed matter found in public space, like advertising, magazine covers, electoral campaign posters and reworks them. Either through the use of the ‘black-out’, a layer of black ink that covers and obscures the image, or by applying a halftone grid. Both methods sharpen our awareness of our perception of the image.

The show at Beige gathers for the first time all the works of the Pirelli series. The series is a formal exercise that explores the schematic representation of the self through the techniques of the printing process. The dots in the Pirelli rubber point to the dots of the printing process. These black studded rubber flooring tiles are positioned behind a reflective glass plate. At once the viewer’s image is reflected in the glass that is framing the work, thus creating a temporary merging of the original image and the viewer. The works function as ‘a tool for seeing’, images, space, the self.

The different formats that consist the series make us conscious of the variety of different standardised forms: the portal, the landscape and the portrait. The Pirelli Portal has the size of a standard door and therefore it also relates perfectly to the human body. The formats like portrait and landscape are interchangeable. They relate to each other, to the printing process and to art historical formats. The work Without Title follows the same procedure as the Pirelli series. Here the person is already portrayed and is pushed back in the grid through the added rubber dots. Playing with the perception and perspectives the artist sets a frame that make the viewer more aware of all the frames he is already surrounded with in everyday life.

From 1970 until 1975 Willem Oorebeek studied graphic art, painting and drawing in Rotterdam. He would go on to become intensively involved – as a teacher, advisor and mentor in the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria – in knowledge transfer, the debate on art and art education and the reception of art. First at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht and later in Amsterdam, Hamburg and Vienna. In 1997, together with Aernout Mik, he represented the Netherlands at the Venice Biennale. In 2008 he set up the artist-in-residence-program at WIELS where he was one of the artistic mentors. He was influential to numerous generations of artists. Recently he stopped teaching and is now fully committed to his own artistic practice in his Schaerbeek studio.

His work is held in the collection of Kanal, Brussels; S.M.A.K., Ghent; Generali Foundation, Vienna; Boijmans van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam; MHKA, Antwerp.

Oriol Vilanova (°1980, Manresa, Spain) lives and works in Brussels. His artistic practice is developed through the context of the (flea) market, which he visits ritually while building a collection of postcards. This process functions as a ‘thinking machine’ for his fundamental questioning of political, cultural and economic mechanisms inherent to the construction of a collection. His witty conceptual play results in installations, performances and theatre-performances, but equally in artist’s books and printed matter. 

For his show at BEIGE, Vilanova reconstructed the bargaining act at the flea market. The exhibition’s title ‘the end of the ancient world’ touches on themes such as the economic recession, and the dominance of numbers in our daily lives. In a typical deadpan manner, the artist recalls the price negotiation between the seller and the buyer in two communicating columns with numbers. It visualizes the dynamics of the process and the performative act of the transaction. 

“Economical Poems are the memory of a conversation, sometimes heard, sometimes experienced. Moments of bargaining. Price and value. Empathy and sharing. In an oral language, immaterial as the economy. Economical Poems reproduce the process of bargaining between the seller and the buyer. The market as a poetic experience.” – Oriol Vilanova

The work of the artist resonates strongly with the work of other conceptual artists. The minimal paintings are hand painted on wood referring to the wooden signs used on the market. Yet when one looks closely at the painting, one discovers the painterly quality to the surface. 

His work was recently presented in solo exhibitions in: NMNM, Monaco (France); Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo (USA); Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona (Spain); CA2M, Madrid (Spain); Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona (Spain); M Museum, Leuven (Belgium); Centre d’Edition Contemporaine Genève (Switzerland); L’Appartment 22, Rabat (Morocco).

He was part of the following group exhibitions: Palais de Tokyo, Paris (France); Les Abattoirs, Toulouse (France); Les Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles (France); Kunsthal Extra-City, Antwerp (Belgium); LLS Paleis, Antwerp (Belgium); Triennial APAP6 Anyang, Seoul (South-Korea); PetahTikva Museum of Art, Tel Aviv (Israel); Kunstverein Langenhagen, Langenhagen (Germany); Centro Botín, Santander (Spain); CAAC, Sevilla, MACBA, Barcelona (Spain); FUTURA Center for Contemporary Art, Prague (Czech Republic).

He published artist books with: JAP, Brussels; Christophe Daviet-Thery, Paris; JRP Ringier, Zurich; FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Reims; Cru, Figueres. 

His work is part of the following public collections: MAC’S Musée des Arts Contemporains Grand-Hornu (Belgium); M Museum & Cera Collection, Leuven (Belgium); MACBA, Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (Spain); Centre d’Art La Panera de Lleida (Spain); Fundación Montemadrid (Spain); Fundación Botín, Santander (Spain); Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, Madrid (Spain); Albright-Knox Art Gallery, New York (USA), NMNM, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (France); Mathaf: Arab Museum of Art (Qatar); FRAC Grand-Large – Hauts-de-France, Calais (France); DZ Bank Kunstsammlung, Frankfurt (Germany).
