We see references to a prehistoric settlement, to a stream that gave the town of Spiere its name, to findings from different periods… Many romanticised recollections adorn our walls as pictures or paintings, yet the combination of memory and present evokes so much more. This hybrid, transparent image is always moving, fluctuating between seasons, day and night, time and memory. Incoming impressions are organised by our consciousness into other mental pictures and concepts. How remote is the visible from the conceivable? Distance, meaning and perspective fuse with the remembrance of one's image. Registering the grid differently than the naked eye, a camera should make the combined image picture-perfect. The image differs from every position, on any given moment, presenting the onlooker with a unique view: an insight inspiring the most individual interpretation of a layered image. He now becomes the artist. | Keywords: | beelddenken | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/33383 | Link to publication/dataset: | www.contreilive.be | Discipline: | beeldende kunsten | Research Context: | Belgian artist Patrick Ceyssens masters the art of making the subdermal function of images tangible. His body of work is intertwined with two connecting threads. On the one hand, Ceyssens broaches the memory theme and its deceptive enchantment. On the other hand, his work is never quite lost in melancholy and romance, as it will always present a disruption or breach, making the workings of the image no longer separable from memory function. The mind becomes our only canvas. Patrick Ceyssens exhibits internationally and teaches visual arts and image analysis at various institutions. | Impact Description: | 211 entries, 13 municipalities, 16 artistic interventions, 3 bicycle loops In February of 2019, Leiedal made an open call to artists and designers all around, suggesting a number of outstanding places with a clear link to water. Through Kortrijk Design Region, the city of Kortrijk has been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network since 2017, which accordingly contributed to no less than 211 entries from artists and designers from over 35 countries worldwide. A panel of experts selected a number of them for Leiedal to check their practical, logistic and financial viability. As a result, at least one work of art will be shown in each of the 13 Leiedal municipalities. The grand total of 16 artistic interventions makes up an intriguing mix of land art, landscape architecture, sound art and kinetic installations. The interventions are tailored to the specifications of their particular site in the landscape or public space, fortifying the aquatic acquaintance with the story of water. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the works of international top-notch artists Hans Peter Kuhn, Matthijs la Roi, LANDLAB, Kevin Trappeniers, Michel Desvigne, OMGEVING, Esther Kokmeijer, Niels Albers, Willem Boel, Jan Detavernier, Patrick Ceyssens, Rick Abelen, Žilvinas Stasiulevičius, Marco Barotti, Zeli Bauwens and Adrien Tirtiaux. Contrei Live also provides wind at the back for bicycle tourism in South West Flanders, with partners Toerisme Leiestreek and Westtoer helping to open up the arts trail by putting together three bicycle loops. For each municipality, partner in all things health Logo Leieland has outlined a walk to discover the installations in 10,000 steps. | Related Info: | www.contreilive.be | Category: | AOR | Type: | Artistic/designerly creation |
