Netwerk
bio
As the Centre for Contemporary Art, Netwerk develops an action focusing on expressive art against a theoretical background and in a rural and international setting. The centre creates dynamic contexts and space for young and/or promising local and foreign artists to create their works under the best circumstances, and to get them the attention from the art world and the public. All disciplines and branches within contemporary art are included.
The action expressive art undergoes a synergy with expressions of art related to motion and sound, and offers expressive artists a platform to not just exhibit, but develop negotiation forms as well. Performers, musicians or filmmakers are given the opportunity to create works and to present them in the context of expressive art, or in collaboration with it.

Contemporary Visual Arts in Flanders
[text]
Marc Ruyters, Eva Wittocx, 2008Among the modern-art crowd, Belgium is known as the country with that 'surrealist' lineage: James Ensor - René Magritte - Marcel Broodthaers. While this is certainly a fine compliment for three artists of far-reaching significance, a great deal has changed in this country, which has been a crossroads of the Roman and Germanic cultures, a key logistic point between Great Britain, Germany and France, and home to the European Community.
