C0N10UR Nocturne
Evening exposition Contour Biennial of Moving Images
On 2 November, the Contour Biennale for Moving Image runs until late evening, 21:00. Get inspired during an extended and atmospheric evening walk between the various exhibition venues and film screenings. A unique opportunity to see the diversity within contemporary Artist's Moving Image in a new light.
C0N10UR takes place in four locations in the heart of Mechelen. The short walking route between them allows visitors to spend a full day and/or evening watching and listening. You start your visit at one of the two sales points (kunstencentrum nona or Museum Hof van Busleyden), where you can purchase or pick up the C0N10UR pass. You will need this pass to visit the venues.
The C0N10UR pass on 2 November gives you exceptional access to the biennial from 11:00 until 21:00.
LOCATIONS IN MECHELEN:
KUNSTENCENTRUM NONA
In kunstencentrum nona, the curators invited a group of artists to be inspired by the work of the well-known, Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman. They specifically presented them News from Home, the 1976 feature film with two equal main characters: the island of Manhattan, New York where the director resides and her mother in Brussels who, through a stream of letters, demands increasingly urgent news. The group was asked to make one film together: each with their own voice, style, and starting point.
With: Eva Giolo, Rebecca Jane Arthur, Katja Mater, Sirah Foighel Brutmann en Eitan Efrat, Maaike Neuville.
yours, (2023, 80’, Dutch, English, French spoken, Dutch and English subtitles)
The film runs continuously. Screenings start at 11:30, 13:00, 14:30, 16:00. You can enter the venue at any time.
MUSEUM HOF VAN BUSLEYDEN
In Museum Hof van Busleyden, a massive wall acts as a projection screen for a continuous film program: thirty films and film clips after and next to each other, in different formats and mostly without genres. The logic behind their montage is not that of narrative but of resonance in a shared space. Facing the wall, Subversive Film depicts the many meanings of assemblage, on the side wall, Melissa Gordon offers look-out.
With: Aay Liparoto, Alex Reynolds, Alma Söderberg, Annik Leroy, Brahim Tall, Camille Picquot, Chloé Malcotti, Eric de Kuyper, Eva Claus, Eva Giolo, Frederic Rzewski, Julie Morel, Kevin Jerome Everson, Léonard Pongo, Melissa Gordon, Mieriën Coppens, Mischa Dols, Omar A. Chowdhury, Subversive Film.
DE GARAGE
In De Garage, C0N10UR brings together voices and sounds that ask to be heard. Listening here sounds like an invitation, a question, a call. Not as an order to be obeyed blindly. On the contrary, hearing can prompt questions. Who speaks when and from what position? Who gets to speak? Who takes the floor? Who makes themselves heard? Who makes noise? Not to mention, how does it sound? Listening may differ from looking, but sound makes it possible to adjust our perception.
With: Alex Reynolds, Alexandre Mulongo Finkelstein, Chloé Malcotti, Dominique De Groen, Effi & Amir, Frederic Rzewski, Guy-Marc Hinant, Rosine Mbakam, Sandra Muteteri Heremans.
CINEMA LUMIÈRE MECHELEN
At Cinema Lumière Mechelen, C0N10UR presents the film By the Throat by artist duo Effi & Amir, at 14:00.
