For almost three months,\u00a0Mechelen\u00a0<\/strong>will be the Belgian hub of contemporary art in the field of the moving image. The biennale\u00a0CONTOUR<\/a>, which began in 2003, is holding its 7th<\/sup>\u00a0edition there which this year will be curated by\u00a0Nicola SETARI<\/strong>. This platform will allow a wider public to discover the best of artistic creations linked to video, film, installations and performance from Belgium and further afield.

The collective\u00a0SLAVS AND TATARS<\/a>\u00a0will be participating in the Biennale, showcasing a new version of its audio installation\u00a0Speculum Linguarum<\/strong>, which will be presented in Dutch for the first time. The creators behind the installation will fill the museum with Oriental carpets on which acoustic baffles will be installed and which will retransmit, at various speeds, well-known Medieval didactical texts known as the „Miroir du Prince”, translated in order into the languages of those countries where the installation has been shown: Uigur, Turkish, Polish, German, (at an exhibition in Abou Dhabi), Scottish Gaelic (at an exhibition in Edinburgh) and Dutch (version created for the event). The installation highlights the problem of language and mutual understanding amongst foreign guests and explores the issue of authenticity in this context, stressing the link between the sacred and the profane, and to some extent between the businessman and the Sufi.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>
Slavs and Tatars<\/strong>\u00a0is a collective which veers between the polemical and the intimate with regard to everything which has to do with the area located to the east of the Berlin Wall and to the west of the Great Wall of China, i.e. what is sometimes referred to as \u2018Eurasia\u2019. The work, which is always done as a collective, operates various media and various disciplines and affects a large spectrum of cultural registers (high and low) around a sphere of influence, which is often played down, made up of Slavs, Caucasians and the populations of central Asia.

CONTOUR 7<\/strong>\u00a0is dedicated to\u00a0Thomas More<\/strong>. For many he was a martyr, for others, a monster. Above all, he was a philosopher and an artist. However one regards him, he was without doubt a brilliant madman, very ahead of his time. It was in summer 1515, during a stay in Flanders, which also took him to Mechelen, that he wrote most of his work devoted to the ideal state,\u00a0Utopia\u00a0<\/em>(Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus de optimo rei publicae statu, deque nova insula Utopia<\/em>).
CONTOUR 7 will show the work of more than twenty international artists. Their works, which are to a great extent new pieces, have been inspired by utopias, monsters and martyrs, both past and present.

The creators behind the installation will fill the museum with Oriental carpets on which acoustic baffles will be installed and which will retransmit, at various speeds, well-known Medieval didactical texts known as the \"Miroir du Prince\", translated in order into the languages of those countries where the installation has been shown: Uigur, Turkish, Polish, German, (at an exhibition in Abou Dhabi), Scottish Gaelic (at an exhibition in Edinburgh) and Dutch (version created for the event). The installation highlights the problem of language and mutual understanding amongst foreign guests and explores the issue of authenticity in this context, stressing the link between the sacred and the profane, and to some extent between the businessman and the Sufi.\nSlavs and Tatars\u00a0is a collective which veers between the polemical and the intimate with regard to everything which has to do with the area located to the east of the Berlin Wall and to the west of the Great Wall of China, i.e. what is sometimes referred to as \u2018Eurasia\u2019. The work, which is always done as a collective, operates various media and various disciplines and affects a large spectrum of cultural registers (high and low) around a sphere of influence, which is often played down, made up of Slavs, Caucasians and the populations of central Asia.+++ Find out more information on\u00a0www.slavsandtatars.com\nPRACTICAL INFORMATION>>> The installation\u00a0Speculum Linguarum\u00a0is to be seen on the main exhibition venue and starting point:\u00a0Hof van Busleyden\u00a0(Frederik de Merodestraat 65, Mechelen) - see the\u00a0MAP>>> Opening on\u00a028 August:_____15:00\u00a0>\u00a022:00 -\u00a0All locations are open for individual visits after visiting the starting point of CONTOUR 7, where you will receive a free visitor\u2019s guide with city plan_____20:00\u00a0>\u00a021:00 -\u00a0Official opening at the starting point of CONTOUR 7 with speeches by curator Nicola Setari, Alderman for Culture in Mechelen Bj\u00f6rn Siffer and Flemish minister of Culture Sven Gatz_____21:00\u00a0>\u00a000:30\u00a0- Opening party hosted by Moonshack, DJ Tobias Kirmayer (Tramp Records, Munich) and mapping-projections by VJ BlubvideoPlease note that registration is required at\u00a0www.contour7.be\/en\/vernissage>>>\u00a029 August\u00a0>\u00a08 November\u00a02015\u00a0-\u00a0Thursday\u00a0>\u00a0Friday -\u00a010:00\u00a0>\u00a017:00\u00a0|\u00a0Saturday\u00a0>\u00a0Sunday\u00a0-\u00a010:00\u00a0>\u00a018:00>>>\u00a0\u20ac10\u00a0|\u00a0\u20ac7\u00a0(inhabitants of Mechelen, -25, 60+, impaired persons, groups, etc.) |\u00a0\u20ac2\u00a0(teachers, students, pupils) |\u00a0Free\u00a0(-12)sales point:\u00a0Tourism Mechelen (Hallestraat 2-4-6) |\u00a0http:\/\/www.uitinmechelen.beGuided tours and discounts available.

For many he was a martyr, for others, a monster. Above all, he was a philosopher and an artist. However one regards him, he was without doubt a brilliant madman, very ahead of his time. It was in summer 1515, during a stay in Flanders, which also took him to Mechelen, that he wrote most of his work devoted to the ideal state,\u00a0Utopia\u00a0(Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus de optimo rei publicae statu, deque nova insula Utopia).CONTOUR 7 will show the work of more than twenty international artists. Their works, which are to a great extent new pieces, have been inspired by utopias, monsters and martyrs, both past and present.+++ Find out more on\u00a0www.contour7.be\/enARTISTSAaBbPp | A Dog Republic and RAM Radioartemobile | Sander Breure and Witte van Hulzen | Andrea B\u00fcttner | Jan Fabre | Michael Fliri | Chiara Fumai | Johan Grimonprez | Fabrice Hyber | Rabih Mrou\u00e9 | Ana Prvacki | Michael Rakowitz | Gilad Ratman | Albert Serra | Slavs and Tatars | Nedko Solakov | Javier T\u00e9llez | Grazia Toderi | An van.
