The Words on Water project showcases different artistic perspectives on water and its crucial role in our lives, which is now affected by political, environmental, and economic factors. In this one-day presentation, the first Words on Water project has evolved into a complex and multi-faceted multimedia tapestry. This compilation features a variety of viewpoints from different geographies and mindscapes that explore the concepts of borders, the politics of inclusion and exclusion, collective memory, and actionable change. Presentation of 'nocturne' (2006) Words on Water Hinterland, Vienna (AT) Curated by Amirali Ghasemi November 2 - 12, 2023 www.hinterland.ag - Group exhibition with works by Sevgi Aka, Pieter Geenen, Hengame Hosseini, Nebras Hoveizavi, Nooshin Jafari, Allahyar Najafi, Jaleh Nesari, Roya Noorinezhad, Bahar Samadi, Morteza Soorani and Marzieh Rashidi. Words on Water is a series of Room For Doubt, which brings together different artistic positions on water, and its essential role in our life now tinted with political, environmental, and economic readings. In the context of Vienna, the initial project of "Words on Water" has evolved into a rich and multi-layered tapestry of media. This constellation draws from diverse geographies and mindscapes, orbiting around concepts of borders, the politics of inclusion and exclusion, collective memory, and actionable change. As the title suggests, it delves into diverse artistic expressions centered around water — an essential element of life. Water, simultaneously a vital means of transport and a natural divider, evokes a myriad of emotions and connotations. It can be synonymous with poetry, spirituality, and a source of healing, yet it can also take a deadly turn during natural disasters and human-made destruction. In an era where the global landscape is shifting from energy resource conflicts to escalating tensions over water, this exhibition seeks to shed light on the pivotal role water plays in our devastated environment. Curated by Amirali Ghasemi, the founder of Berlin-based Room For Doubt, this exhibition should allow a profound reflection on our interconnectedness with water and our collective responsibility to engage with this invaluable resource by redefining this relationship in an increasingly fragile world. Presentation of 'nocturne' (2006) Desert 23'S La Wayaka Current, Atacama (CL) October 5 - 26, 2023 www.lawayakacurrent.com - Artist in residence Desert 23°S (Atacama, Chile) presents a rare opportunity to research and develop new artistic & creative practices in one of the driest environments on our planet within an indigenous community inside a national nature reserve of diverse flora and fauna. This otherworldly region offers the most optimal conditions for astronomical observations in the world and preserves ancient archeology beneath the sands. Within the dry landscape lives an unbelievably diverse and rich ecosystem that remains due to the knowledge of indigenous groups who fight to protect the area from exploitative, water-intensive extraction and mining.

A line is a transition between two points, moments or places. Following a line along the twists and turns of the labyrinth there’s no commanding view and no glimpse of an end. In-between two lines there’s a world of becoming, the ongoing condition of the life lived midstream. Along the way the line unites and divides, includes and excludes, separating water and land, earth and sky, fact and fiction, until it becomes blurred. In his solo exhibition 'Laying Down a Line' at Eté78 Pieter Geenen uses the concept of the line to mirror, invert or erase geographies and histories. He focuses on the ecology of Mexico City where he spent his time as artist in residence in 2018 to propose a different reading of the past, redefine the present and imagine a potential future. By referencing aquatic life and indigenous culture a new iconography is coming to life. The title piece 'Laying Down a Line' is a film juxtaposing the sounds collected walking the streets of Mexico City to the image exploring the network of canals crossing the lands of the borough of Xochimilco using the basic principle of camera obscura. This area in the south of the city is a fragile ecosystem constructed by the Aztecs in pre-colonial times. It is agricultural land gained from the waters of Lake Texcoco, Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco which historically and geographically preceded their drainage by the European colonizers and the expansion of the city that followed. It is home to the endangered species of the Axolotl, an amphibian native to this area only. Lately it has been under threat of pollution, urbanization, tourism, abandonment and invasive sorts. The soundtrack on the other hand is built up from field recordings voicing street life typical of Mexico City. Sounds from either side of the power structures ruling society blend with each other into one microcosm: vendors, beggars, workers, cleaners, police, surveillance, security systems, etc. Man and nature seem to live harmoniously. However, nothing is what it seems. What we see and hear is merely arising from a man-made construction and puts the relationship between man and nature, between past, present and future into question. 'Esoexo' is a series of printed works based on historical maps of the valley of Mexico and the different entities now making up the metropolitan area of Mexico City. Here Geenen presents a selection of silkscreen prints and inkjet prints decolonizing and reactivating the digitally archived files from the Mapoteca Manuel Orozco y Berra in Mexico City. By folding, digital manipulation or the technique of printing itself a new layer is covering the memory and preservation of the past. After deterioration, creases, scratches, scan lines and other digital artefacts had already affected their readability, now traces of history have been deliberately hidden or erased. This attempt to restore the effects of colonization (for example by covering or simply erasing the drainage canals) and to reimagine pre-colonial times in turn installs a fictitious and newly imagined world.

They all belong to the same generation: on the one hand because they are of the same age, on the other hand because they belong to the same artistic family - because of the artistic story they tell, with a similar approach and method of working. In each of the pieces, there is an inherent questioning of the effect ‘togetherness’ might have on the way we read images. There will be an aftertalk with the artists, moderated by Zoë Gray, senior curator at WIELS. - Screening of an excerpt of 'mirador', a work in progress. Pieter Geenen artist edition www.argosarts.org - On the occasion of his solo-exhibition 'This land is my land. This land is your land.' Pieter Geenen produced three artist editions. These are for purchase via ARGOS Centre for Art and Media. This land is my land. This land is your land. ARGOS Centre for Art and Media, Brussels (BE) October 4 - December 20, 2015 www.argosarts.org - Solo exhibition Presenting a series of new works in various media, using the so-called Canadian Tobacco Belt as a backdrop to raise questions about the concepts of migration, land, identity, nationalism and colonialism. In the first half of the twentieth century, this particular part of Canada became home to a large number of European migrants, especially people from the Flemish-speaking part of Belgium, who embarked on a new life as tobacco farmers. Today the younger generations have adapted to the New World, a world created at the expense of the native First Nations. Since those early days, the local labourers lost interest in the hard work of tobacco farming, and they have been replaced by so called 'offshore workers' from Central America and the Caribbeans. By using the story of tobacco—its discovery by Europeans, its cultivation outside its original habitat, and the economic decline of the industry—as a metaphor for the concept of colonialism and the migration wave that followed, as well as for the potential loss of identity, the tobacco plant becomes a vehicle to focus on the special socio-economic reality of the ethnic and cultural groups involved. 'Time' and 'space', 'here' and 'there', 'we' and 'they' are vague, constantly shifting, and mutually exchangeable. When all elements converge, a new, undefined and ambiguous reality seems to come into existence as a reflection on one's own identity. That confusion, that reversal and alienation makes us question our personal and collective position.

Since its division, the landmark of a Turkish Cypriot flag identifies the landscape. It is acting as a provocation to the Greek Cypriots across the UN buffer zone, day and night. In 'pulsation' the sound this flag generates, resonates like a strong heartbeat over the landscape.

An Evening with Pieter Geenen. Discussions, Screenings and Presentations' 20h30 - 22h30, December 10, 2010 Constant started the Active Archives project in 2006 with the observation that most online archives fall into the traditional model of ’we’ (the institution) transmitting information to ’you’ (the visitor). They recreate the physical archivists’ box, prioritising preservation and integrity of the single object over the link-ability and potential for multiplication through sharing that digital collections could thrive on. They are certainly not presented as a means for creating derivative works. If we understand the web not simply as a means of distribution, but a space for (collaborative) writing, prototyping, and developing ideas, how can archives take part in this net-nature? How can archives be active beyond preservation and access? What would it take to give material away and receive it transformed? How would files be enriched by different connections, contexts and contradictions? In dialogue with artists represented in the Argos collection, Constant interrogates the active potential of the online media archive. Mixing screenings, live-interviews and presentations, we will discuss moral and legal ownership, contracts and licenses, annotation and access.

Time is a Book Time Festival, Ghent (BE) Booklaunch: November 13, 2009 at 8:00 pm Curators Dirk Braeckman & Els Dietvorst www.timefestival.be - Time 2009 is the ninth and last edition of Time Festival and above all, a statement by the curators Dirk Braeckman and Els Dietvorst. Time 2009 is a book. A place to think rather than an event. In the rat race of life, this edition of the festival wants to give more time rather than taking it. 'Time is a Book' wants to create a temporary vacuum. A vacuum based on the 'condition' of someone who picks up a book, takes time and reads and looks. This vacuum, the locus of meandering thought, is the solitary place where people can engage intimately with their worries and anxieties, the place where people can gather, consider and try things out. The place where inspiration can be found, but where things and ideas, even if incomplete, can be experimented with. An important keynote for 'Time is a Book' is the disquiet and concern that both curators share. Disquiet about the future of the arts and, above all, concern about the future of the world. With 'Time is a Book', Dirk Braeckman en Els Dietvorst want to seek out the way other artists deal with this disquiet. They invited about 50 artists to come up with a personal response on specific questions, which can take any one of many different forms: "What acts as the catalyst for your work (the frame of reference, the circumstances, the 'sources of inspiration')? What do you want to show through your work? What does commitment (artistic and other) mean to you? Do you want to be 'radical' and, if so, is that actually feasible?" This question is presented not as a survey, but as an open invitation to come up with a personal response, which can take any one of many different forms, such as a reflection on one aspect, an excerpt from a diary, a conversation, an interview or a visual contribution. The result is a surprising, experimental space on paper, a sketchbook of virtual ideas and real dreams.

In this exhibition Pieter Geenen will present two new works, 'scènes troublées' and 'nostalgia', together with 'nocturne' (2006). 'scènes troublées' is a slide installation made of found photographs showing landscapes in the region of eastern Congo and Rwanda. These black & white images were taken by Belgian colonials in the early fourties of the 20th century. 'nostalgia' on the other hand is a single channel video work about the divided country of Cyprus. In all these works Geenen focuses on the 'innocence' of landscapes in different social political situations. For this occasion 'The Moving Land', a publication on the work of Pieter Geenen with texts by Luk Lambrecht & Herman Asselberghs is being published and will be available on both exhibition locations (Cultuurcentrum Strombeek & De Garage Mechelen).

A beautiful panorama or a breathtaking vista rather invites us to look at nothing in particular, to loose oneself in looking itself. For this sixth instalment of An evening with Auguste Orts at Beursschouwburg, Auguste Orts presents a full evening program on audiovisual landscape art in which mountains, buildings and similar hard objects (and maybe the image itself?) ask for attention and do block our view. Consider this an invitation to look at (and listen to) some particular things. - With work by Aglaia Konrad / Sophie Nys / Robbrecht Desmet / Paul Casaer / Pieter Geenen / Inger Lise Hansen / Donia Dabbas / Martiens Go Home.

Last Day of Magic ScalaMata Gallery, Détournement Venise, 53rd Venice Biennial, Venice (IT) June 4 - 26, 2009 Curator Jan Van Woensel www.detournement-venise.org www.scalamata.com - As part of the 53rd Venice Biennial's official satellite project 'Détournement Venise 2009' Pieter Geenen's video 'atlantis' will be screened during 'Last Day of Magic' at the ScalaMata Gallery in Venice, Italy. This video screening project is curated by Jan Van Woensel and started as an art and theory workshop at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. On June 4th the program wil open at 5 pm and screenings run until 8 pm. After this day all videos will remain available for screening in the gallery until June 26. 'Last Day of Magic' is an examination of illusion as well as disillusion that magic provides in culture: the search for the intangible; the revealing of deception, the removal of what's obscuring. Magic changes the perception of reality. Last day of Magic video is a curated film screening about secrets, lies, false beliefs, melancholy, disappearance, tragedy and transgression. - Other works by Vanessa Albury / Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock / Armelle Aulestia / Stephan Balleux / blackmoth / Bosko Blagojevic / Sara Blaylock / Rudi Bogaerts / Dolores Bouckaert & Benny Vandendriessche / Monika Bravo / Fia Cielen / Pierre Clemens / Aoife Collins / Marthe Fortun / Anthony Fuller / Matthew Green / Mark Gubb / Bettina Hutschek / Swati Khurana / Melanie Lafille / Lauren Lavitt / Michael Mallis / Jenny Marketou / David Matorin / Yvette Mattern / Jillian McDonald / Martin Murphy / Rebecca Najdowski / Alexandra Navratil / Ruth Oppenheim / Deniz Ozuygur / Jenny Perlin / Lee Ranaldo / Steve Schepens / Tim Segers / Joaquin Segura / Sigga Björg Sigurdardóttir / Eric Van Hove / Ana Wolovick / Frank Zadlo Instabil Synoptic Visionaudial Art Meeting, Pécs (HU) June 15 - 20, 2009 Curators Péter Lovas and Szolga Hajnal www.sosemart.hu - Group exhibition with Masha Godovannaya / Kimberly Clark / Eiko Grimberg / Vasarhelyi Zsolt / Németh Hajnal / Esterhazy Marcell / Uglar Csaba / Marc Bijl / Nemes Csaba / Sugar Janos / Larissa Sansour / Szacsva & Pal / Ulu Braun & Alexej Tchernyi / Ninon Liotet & Olivier Schulbaum / Stanislav Veselovsky - Presentation of 'atlantis' (2008) The Spirit That Guides Us Onion City Experimental Film and Video Festival, Chicago (US) June 16 - 20, 2009 www.chicagofilmmakers.org - Screening of 'atlantis' (2008) Cross- talks 1 Crosstalk Video Art Festival, Budapest (HU) June 25 - 30, 2009 www.crosstalk.hu - Screening of 'atlantis' (2008) Urbania I: Cityminds Apollo Arthotel, Bruges (BE) From June 12 - November 20, 2009 Opening Thursday June 11, 19h - Apollo Arthotel, Bruges www.apollohotelsresorts.com/brugge/ - The urge for growth can be seen at all societal levels; our changing world with increased mobility, faster communication techniques, larger cities and ever-growing populations all results in, as yet, inestimable proportions. During this exhibition we see how different artists translate their image of ‘the city’ in their work. Some pieces of work depict an optimistic view of the future, whilst others show how city dwellers currently experience and interpret cities. - Pieter Geenen will present his latest video 'gaze (7)' (2009) from the 'gaze' series, and three earlier sound pieces from the 'nightscape' series. - Other works by Randall C. / Monique Voz / Tinka Pittoors / Conrad Willems / Saar De Buysere International Program II Media City International Festival of Film & Video Art, Windsor (CA) May 20 - 23, 2009 www.houseoftoast.ca - Screening of 'atlantis' (2008) How to Look at Things Courtisane Festival, Ghent (BE) April 22 - 26, 2009 www.courtisane.be - Screening of 'atlantis' (2008) Biotopia European Media Art Festival ,Osnabrück (DE) April 22 - 26, 2009 www.emaf.de - Screening of 'atlantis' (2008) Pieter Geenen & Lukas Hoffman: Artist Talk Filmhuis Klappei / AIR Antwerp (BE) February 5, 19h30 www.airantwerpen.be - Pieter Geenen (BE, ° 1979, lives and works in Brussels) and Lukas Hoffmann (CH, ° 1981, lives and works in Paris) met last fall while staying at AIR, the international artist-in-residency program in Antwerp. As a conclusion to their residency they’re presenting their work together during an 'artist talk'. In his photographs, Lukas questions the term of landscape by considering trees, wires or concrete walls as elements which, in the final composition, can result in tension, harmony, sometimes chaos. But: never an effect, never an anecdote. Nothing but the things the way they are. Pieter, on the other hand, is interested in the landscape as a bearer of meaning, how landscape and man can relate to each other. In his videos and audiovisual installations listening and watching becomes intense, alienating, contemplating and almost tangible in an undisturbed stillness. - During this artist talk Pieter will give a preview of the video 'gaze - 7' which he produced during his residency.

'Glocal Affairs' is an initiative as an impetus towards making Maastricht and the surrounding region European Capital of Culture in 2018. - Première of 'atlantis' (2008) Blind Date. Sound & Vision in Private Actionfields Temporary Art Gallery, Brussels (BE) November 14 - December 7, 2008 www.actionfields.be - In contemporary art, sensuous experiences depend mostly on eyes and ears. But what remains if these precious senses refuse to work? Is it possible to translate art to people with a visual or auditory handicap? How different will their experience be? And what about the tactile sense in art? Ten artists are prepared to take this interesting challenge. They will invite the visitor to a blind date, an unforeseen or unheard confrontation with the 'other'. With widely divergent works they are willing to risk a leap in the dark, taking the public into the margin of art. - Selected artists: Sara Bomans / Michael Bonne / Frederik De Wilde / Pieter Geenen / Nathalie Hunter / Ben Kruisdijk / Conny Kuilboer / Kristin Rogghe / Arno Roncada / Weyers & Borms nominee Rodenbach Fonds Award In January the Rodenbach Fonds presented the first Art Award for Professional Talent.

'Encounters exhibits a variety of projects that are intended to break through the ‘stereotype’ images in order to tell another, personal story. The exhibition can be interpreted as an open space in which visitors can become conscious of their own ‘preconceived’ images and the choices that lay at the foundation of accepting or rejecting encounters that may or may not be uncomfortable for them. The participating artists each show how fertile it can be to choose to do so. The works function as a starting point for people to ask questions about themes such as democratisation, emancipation, and globalisation. Encounters I' was exhibited at the Mills Gallery in Boston (US) at the beginning of 2007. This initial version primarily emphasised the ‘design’ of daily public life in countries with (former) totalitarian regimes. 'Encounters II' broadens and expands on this theme. The exhibition is organised in co-operation with the Glaspaleis and the multidisciplinary summer festival Cultura Nova. - Group exhibition with by Reza Abedini & Hans Wolbers / Azra Aksamija / Luis Berríos-Negrón / Banu Cennetoglu & Huib van der Werf / Nele Decock / Mariam Ghani / Maximilian Goldfarb / G.R.A.M. / Eytan Heller / Rob Hornstra / Stani Michiels / Anoek Steketee / Niels Stomps / The Institute of Infinitely Small Things - Presentation of 'nocturne' (2006) Error #7: Just a movie for godsake errorOne, Antwerp (BE) September 7 - 16, 2007 www.errorone.be - Group exhibition with Lauri Astala / Liv Bugge / Lisa Jeannin / Reiko Kanazawa / Job Koelewijn /  Xavier Lukomski / Vincent Meessen / Jurgen Ots / Ria Pacquée / Dimitri Riemis / Elina Saloranta / Claudia Sola / Max Sudhues / Sarah Vanagt - Presentation of 'nocturne' (2006) Open Archive #1: Re:collections: Acquisitions 2005-2007 Argos Centre for Art and Media, Brussels (BE) September 29 - November 10, 2007 www.argosarts.org - Argos Centre for Art and Media in Brussels (BE) presents 'nocturne (lampedusa - fort europa)' during 'Open Archive #1'.
