Solo Show ’ SANDCASTLES AND RUBBISH ’ at Keteleer Gallery – Antwerp, BE
I’m happy to announce my first solo show at Keteleer Gallery will take place in December 2021.
More news soon. For any inquiries or questions, please contact – info@keteleer.com
BACKYARD
After working on a new studio for the past months, I’m happy to see the infrastructure as almost finished. The design was done by Theo De Meyer and it’s been a real pleasure working together on this one.
To do a studio/house warming I’m organising a group exhibition and at the same time launching a new exhibition platform called ’ BACKYARD ’.
BACKYARD is an exhibition space, part of Platform 6A and situated in the artist studio of Sybren Vanoverberghe in Otegem, BE. Each year, two group exhibitions will take place in Vanoverberghe his studio located in the ‘backyard’ of the Deweer Storage. These group exhibitions will show a selection of works from the Deweer Gallery Estate as well as a selection of artists that Vanoverberghe will invite. The aim is to create an exhibition that puts new work of a variety of artists in resonance with works from the Deweer Gallery Estate. The first group show ’ De Deur op een Kier ’ will show works from the following artists, ANDY WAUMAN , DOMINIQUE SOMERS, THOMAS VANDENBERGHE, SINE VAN MENXEL, MANOR GRUNEWALD, SIMON LAUREYNS, MAX KESTELOOT, NATASJA MABESOONE, JOSELITO VERSCHAEVE, MELISSA GORDON, LUCA MONTERASTELLI, SYBREN VANOVERBERGHE.

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
