bio
VOORKAMER is an artist's initiative concept that was launched by Rik De Boe and Peter Morrens in October 1996 at Lier (Bril 14). VOORKAMER features a range of solo performances of contemporary visual artists from Belgium and abroad, on a yearly basis.
Group exhibitions/projects are moreover organised in various venues as well as teamwork projects with other artists' initiative concepts. For these specific "extra muros" projects, different exhibition modules are sought such as venues of architectural, historical and/or social interest.

A similar venue is to become the permanent premises of VOORKAMER: the historical Holy Ghost site in the shadow of the St. Gummarus church, presently owned by the OCMW/CPAS of Lier.

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.
