Representation with Keteleer Gallery – Antwerp, BE
I’m happy to announce that from now I will be represented by Keteleer Gallery which is based in Antwerp. KETELEER GALLERY opened its doors in 2012 at the Leopoldstraat 57, Antwerp, Belgium. The following 7 years it organically evolved into a family driven business in which a dynamic and open contact with the local and international artworld became its core focus while honouring Belgium’s rich art history. The familial character translates itself in a warm and open environment in order to lower the threshold and offer a refreshing experience to the broadest possible audience. For any inquiries please contact – info@keteleer.com

Photoworks UK #05 Architecture – Conference of the Birds – Interview
’’My work originates from my interest in how time changes places and objects. Some of the places and objects that I photograph are ‘important’ from a historical perspective; others are less so. My practice concerns how we look at artifacts and certain symbols, how we perceive icons as icons. I’m interested in how photography can engage with these issues on a historical, artistic, and political level. Questions raised by my recent work include why are photographs and art based on the landscape important, what is our motive to make such images, and does landscape have the ability to show the cyclical character of history?’‘

Darren Campion on Conference of the Birds for Paper Journal
’’Here he tackles it in perhaps a more straightforward way than previously; where his earlier 2099 uses a variety of pictorial techniques, in this case, Vanoverberghe sticks to one fairly plain visual style. But there is also a fundamental consistency at work here too, down to the sense of actual, as well as historical, circularity in how the pictures are related. What stands out is a sense of our relationship to the past as something ambiguous and unresolved, a constellation of possible answers. This is not a photographer taking on a single historical ‘theme’ and building a project around that; Vanoverberghe undertakes an investigation that is at once more literal – he studies the terrain and the photographs are the product of that study – but also refuses the very terms that would make such a study comprehensible. However comprehensive the mapping seems to be, it actually emphasises the limitations of what can be made visible in this way. The pictures link together across the space of the former village, we can see the repeated elements – a clump of palm trees in the foreground of one picture moves to the background of another, for example – everything seems to be accounted for, and yet the more we look the more discontinuities become apparent; there are gaps in the record.’’ by Darren Campion
