CONFLICTROOM
Conflict Room was a temporary platform for artistic projects in Antwerp in 2010, with an emphasis on different approaches around the nature of 'conflict'. Initiated by Ben Van den Berghe in collaboration with Pieter Boons, Alan Quireyns, Srdjan Stancic.
Inspired by the video work Them (2007) from the Polish artist Artur Zmijewski - who set up a situation in which various ideological groups within Polish society could criticize, discuss and interact with each other - Conflict Room was born. Over a period of 3 months, a number of artists were challenged to question and explore the notion of 'conflict', resulting in weekly exhibitions.
participating artists: Artur Zmijewski, Gert Thierens, Jonathan Leung, Hoi Yat Kim, Lien Desault, Klaas Devos, Sara Manente, Marcos Martins, Gable Roelofson, Michel Yang, Elke Van Campenhout, Lilia Mestre, Lieven Segers, Michèle Matyn, Pieter Boons, Srdjan Stancic, Tom Vansant, Nico vandijck, Detekenklup,Tamara van San, Marthe Van Dessel, Bolwerk, Rinus Van de Velde, Fong Ponto, Simon Gush, Jasper Rigole, Bastiaan Schevers, Tomas Boiy, Riaan van Jaarsveldt, Lea Lagasse, Marie Snauwaert, Ruth Sacks, Maria rosa Fortuny, Frédéric Albers, Liv Bugge, Johanna Kirsch, Emily Roysdon, Ilke de Vries, Bert Gillet, Wendy Morris & Sarah Vanagt
