Komplot

Informations générales

Founded in 2002 by Sonia Dermience and joined later by Véronique Depiesse and Amaryllis Jacobs, Komplot is a collective of curators that has included, over the years, Eva Bialek, Alberto García del Castillo, Agata Jastrzabek, Heidi Ballet, Estelle Lecaille, Emmanuel Lambion, Fabien Defendini, Constance Barrère. Its current associate curators are Sofie Van Loo, Stefaan Willems, Benjamin Jaubert and Oliver Martinez Kandt. Taking a nomadic approach, Komplot has initiated such projects as Midi Zuid (on gentrification and speculation), Vollevox (on the role of the voice in contemporary art), and Architecture de Survie (on ephemeral architecture), all of which have explored new ways of looking at our relationships with objects, spaces, artists, and audiences.

Based in a building near Wiels, Komplot conceives exhibitions, films, books, and between 2011 and 2013 the annual magazine Year with David Evrard, Pierre Huyghebaerts and Uberknackig. It also offers studios for artists, whose work can also be seen in its exhibitions. The list of artists who have collaborated or who will be collaborating with Komplot in the future is long and includes Jakup Auce, Fabienne Audéoud, Kasper Bosmans, Aline Bouvy, Claire Fontaine, Ilja Karilampi, Adriana Lara, Marthe Ramm Fortun, Carl Palm, Sarah & Charles, Benjamin Valenza, Philippe Van Wolputte... In addition to a number of publications and exhibitions still to be confirmed for 2015, this laboratory also welcomes recurring events, hosting the ARTISTS PRINT art book fair, organized with JAP (Jeunesse & Arts Plastiques).
