bio
Contour Mechelen is an organisation dedicated to art being made in the moving image. Its mission is to promote the creation, exhibition and production of art in the moving image. Contour is based in Mechelen, Belgium. Every two years, Contour Mechelen organises the Biennial of Moving Image, also known as 'Contour', the project for which it has become most known. The biennial offers a platform to curators and artists working with different forms of moving image, from film and video to installation. The biennial also stimulates a dialogue between contemporary art and architecture in the city of Mechelen, by activating and putting to use some of the extraordinary historic buildings and sites situated in it. In between the Biennial, Contour also instigates and produces public projections and installations.
