Patrick Van Caeckenbergh
Biography

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh, b. 1960 in Aalst (BE), lives and works in Ghent (BE).

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh attempts to reorder and remap the world in a highly personal yet universal way. He distances himself from the known outside world while scrutinizing his own life in a pseudo-scientific way. His illusive collages and peculiar sculptures of figures and phenomena originate from a process of restructuring everyday things. With little means, the artist incalculably creates assemblages that recall features of fables and fairy tales. 
Thinking and tinkering are the binding factors in his oeuvre. Van Caeckenbergh wants to escape from the one-sided, limited, mechanical and technical methods of cultural behaviour and so he involves notions of coincidence and obscurity, typical of the way nature operates. His work is at once philosophical and critical of the social structure. Van Caeckenbergh is a dreamer, philosopher and brilliant thinker.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh has had solo exhibitions at Bonnefantenmuseum (Maastricht), Museum of Fine Arts Ghent, Musée des Beaux-Arts (Nîmes), Kunstverein Bonn, De Vleeshal (Middelburg), La Maison Rouge (Paris), FRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (Marseilles,) Museum M (Leuven) and FRAC Champagne-Ardenne (Reims).

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh has participated in the Venice Biennale (1993 and 2013), Manifesta (1996), the Taipei Biennial (2014) and the Biennial of Lyon (2000). His work has featured in group shows at Centre Pompidou (Paris), Tate Modern (London), Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), MCA Detroit, De Appel Arts Centre (Amsterdam), Bozar (Brussels), Culturgest (Lisbon), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven) and WIELS (Brussels).


Patrick Van Caeckenbergh joined the gallery in 1987.

● 40 Years Zeno X Gallery - the eighties

 

Zeno X Gallery is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a series of exhibitions that shed light on the different decades of the gallery. From 5 February, '40 YEARS Zeno X Gallery: The Eighties' presents the four artists who joined the gallery in the 1980s: John Körmeling (1981), Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (1982), Patrick Van Caeckenbergh (1986) and Raoul De Keyser (1988). Early works enter into dialogue with recent works created specially for the exhibition. In the early years, the gallery’s main focus was on architecture and installation art.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh first showed Teddie (1989) at his Wunderbar exhibition in the gallery in 1989. This early installation problematizes the word ‘huidskleur’ (skin colour). For Van Caeckenbergh, the label ‘vleeskleur 374’ (flesh tint 374) on a pot of light-pink paint reveals the one-sided Eurocentric way of looking at skin colour. The teddy bear is like an explorer, showing off his conquests on a typical billboard from the 1980s. The bear looks cuddly but is actually a dangerous animal: Teddie ‘loves’ the different types of people, but also wants to oppress and dominate them.

Le Secrétaire (collection de peaux) (2018–2022) [The Secretaire (Skin Collection)] is a desk drawer containing a collection of ‘skins’. Van Caeckenbergh collected the skins over the past five years by cutting rectangular shapes out of porn magazines. He always selects rectangles that no longer contain any references to the human body; censorship is a form of therapy that allows him to deal with the ‘gruesome’ visual reality of pornography. He then presents the ‘skins’ as stamps or on a staff. The image of the human tendon shows that all bodies, regardless of skin tone, look the same on the inside.

For Het Muziekbos (Het Weeftapijt) (2021) [The Musical Forest (The Woven Carpet)], Patrick Van Caeckenbergh cut up a photographic print of an investment forest and interwove it with a colour fan from a paint shop. The colours refer to the different types of birds. To the right of the woven carpet is an overview of the birds and their (phonetic) sounds. The work is a tribute to French composer and ornithologist Olivier Messiaen, who saw colours when he heard certain sounds or musical chords (synaesthesia).

John Körmeling presented Wortelmodellen (1983) [Root Models] during his first exhibition at Zeno X Gallery in 1983. The iron tubes represent the measurements 1 to the square root of 7. In this series of Wortelmodellen, the ribs and diagonals are always roots times a single unit. To this day, this measuring system is a starting point for Körmeling’s architectural projects, which include the bicycle shed fiets&stal in Scheveningen and the work Minimaal Meten (2021) [Minimal Measuring]. Körmeling’s designs and realizations look for correspondences between art and architecture, but also urban planning and design, and always with a sense of perspective and humour.

In Fruitstad (2021) [Fruit City], each piece of fruit is given a number of windows or a door, turning the fruit basket, by definition, into a city. In this exhibition, Körmeling also presents models of realized projects, such as Vogelobservatie platform [Birdwatching Platform] in Texel and Veiligheidspaviljoen [Safety Pavillion] in Knokke (in cooperation with Compagnie-O Architecten). His design for a glass bridge in Venice was not realized. He created the sculpture Huis Buiten de Schaduwgrens (1989) [House Outside the Shadow Line] for a fund-raiser on behalf of children who require constant sunlight.

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven held her first exhibition at Zeno X Gallery in 1982. To celebrate forty years of collaboration, a large solo exhibition, Placenta Saturnine Bercail, featuring old and new work, is being held at the gallery in Borgerhout. At Zeno X Gallery Antwerp South, she shows the early work Ectoplasma (1991), part of a series of four works on doors. Each work in this series depicts a kind of striptease: half hidden behind a door set ajar, duplicated by a mirror, or open like a fan. In the work Duality – Theorem (2015–16), Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven explores the tension between word and image. She places different layers of material on top of each other, just like in her recent images of women on Plexiglas.

Raoul De Keyser was the first painter to join Zeno X Gallery in 1988. Both Untitled (Le miroir de ...) (1988) [The Mirror of...] and Untitled (1987) date from the early years of the collaboration. Taking the surrounding reality as his starting point, De Keyser investigates the material and technical possibilities of painting. For instance, many of his paintings are inspired by the chalk lines of the football pitch he can see from his studio. This recognizable motif, which also appears in Untitled (Le miroir de...), is further reduced to single, double or crossed lines that relate to the pictorial space in constantly changing constellations. Colour becomes a subject in its own right in his work, as seen in Untitled (1987). The visible brushstrokes break through the monochrome and bring tension, tactility and sensitivity to the work.

● Le Monde à l'Envers

 

Zeno X Gallery is proud to present Le Monde à l’Envers, Patrick Van Caeckenbergh’s eleventh solo exhibition since he joined the gallery in 1987.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh schematizes, catalogues and maps out the world in his own unique way. He reveals particular parallels between scientific theories, folk tales and mythologies. He formulates alternative thought structures that are often very topical and critical.

Le Monde à l’Envers brings together various installation works and models that emphasize the importance of caring, on both a personal and global level. The figure of the shaman plays a leading role in many of the works. For Patrick Van Caeckenbergh, the shaman is an intermediary or threshold figure with whom he identifies; like the artist, the shaman finds himself on the border between two worlds that he tries to bring into contact with each other. Like Van Caeckenbergh, the shaman spends most of his time observing reality before he can introduce a solution or cure. Because of his particular position within society, he can function as an intermediary or transmitter of information. Het anatomisch theater (De waterval) (The Anatomical Theatre (The waterfall)) demonstrates the delicate balance the shaman has to seek out.

The inverted anatomical mask visualizes the fact that the shaman is in contact with both the upper and lower world. The mask can be unfolded down to the womb, by analogy with the journey the shaman must systematically make to the womb to be able to perform his ritual. The mask shows the human body as if it were a theatre and in this way illuminates the shaman’s heightened sensuality.

The artist considers himself a ‘cosmogonologist’: he studies stories about the creation of the universe. Motifs such as the egg, the snake and the drop of water regularly appear in Van Caeckenbergh’s oeuvre. The egg, for example, is a universal symbol for the origin of the world, while the snake – because of its ability to shed its skin – is often associated with eternal life. In the collage Niets is wat het lijkt (Nothing is what it seems) we see both the cosmogonic egg, the drop of water and the volvox. The latter is historically the first creature on Earth that could die.

Maquette voor een monument voor het antropoceen (Model for a monument to the anthropocene) brings together some elements specific to humankind, such as speech and DNA in the form of a double helix. The monument itself provides an overview of the world’s rivers to represent the abundant presence of water in the human body. Maquettes and models are a constant in the work of Patrick Van Caeckenbergh. Sometimes they are smaller versions of larger sculptures, new forms by which to relate the same phenomenon or ‘life-size scale models’.

God dobbelt niet (God doesn’t gamble) tackles Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. The German founder of quantum mechanics reached the conclusion that particles do not move according to fixed laws but that coincidence and randomness play a major role. With this sculpture Patrick Van Caeckenbergh draws a parallel to the arbitrary character of human fate and life.

Since 2017 Patrick Van Caeckenbergh has had a solo presentation at the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent, where his work is engaged in a dialogue with the collection. In addition, he has donated his entire studio or ‘cigar box’ to the museum, where it has been given a permanent place.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh has had solo exhibitions at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes, FRAC PACA in Marseilles, Museum M in Leuven, La Maison Rouge in Paris, Kunstverein Bonn, De Vleeshal in Middelburg, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne in Reims, Musée Gassendi in Digne-les-Bains, Netwerk in Aalst, Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, and many others. His work has also been included in group shows, such as the Venice Biennale in 1993 and 2013, the Taipei Biennial in 2014, and in the Tate in London, Centre Pompidou in Paris, ICA in London, de Appel Arts Centre in Amsterdam, Culturgest in Lisbon, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and many more.

● Les Loques de Chagrin

 

Zeno X Gallery is proud to announce Les Loques de Chagrin (De Smartlappen), the tenth solo exhibition of Patrick Van Caeckenbergh (°1960, Aalst).

The Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent will host a solo presentation of his work in dialogue with the collection, opening in October 2017. Furhermore Patrick Van Caeckenbergh will donate his studio or so-called ‘cigar box’ to the museum where it will be permanently on view.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh schematizes, catalogues and, in this way, renders the world in an entirely unique manner. He makes interesting parallels between scientific theories, folkloristic tales, mythologies and other narratives. He formulates alternative thought patterns which are often very contemporary and critical.

The title of the exhibition derives from the installation Les Loques de Chagrin (La Vie d‘Esope). In the small class room a collection of pictures of strange animal pairs can be found: a cat drinking together with a bird or a dog feeding piglets. Van Caeckenbergh offers an answer to the Austrian scientist Konrad Lorenz and his theory about instinctive behaviour. He shows us a tolerant form of co-existence which could also be applied to humans. On the outside there are cardboard panels describing the life of the Greek poet Aesop, who became famous for his fables in which two animals have opposed moral values.

Les Ames Mortes is based on the figurative structure of human knowledge from the ‘Encyclopédie’ by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d’Alembert. Van Caeckenbergh presents this ‘tree of knowledge’ as human antlers on which he adds the most important people in his life, such as Dmitri Mendelejev and Marcel Proust to Alexander Calder and Ovid. The book, carrier of all knowledge, is depicted as an acoustic mnemonic device.

Genealogies – often in the form of a tree – have always been an important motif in the work of Van Caeckenbergh. They function as metaphors for his work; ideas or branches are interconnected, grow out of one another and originate from a root or basic theme.

The Kosmogonic Indigestion or The Greedy Snakes cover the topic of human greediness in our contemporary society. The egg is a universal symbol for the origin of the world, whilst the snake – because of its possibility to renew its skin – is often associated with eternal life. The snakes – presented as beans on a pole or stalk – have been too greedy and create from the superfluous a new cosmogony. Modesty and humility are however the only things that could save us, according to the artist.  

Der Anatomische Mensch (Et Puis Pourquoi Sommes-Nous Faites en Viande?) brings together several elements and themes from his earlier work. Since the nineties Van Caeckenbergh has cut out skin from pornographic magazines. He selects rectangles with no reference to the body or personal characteristics; censorship is for him a therapeutic activity which allows him to deal with the ‘gruesome’ visual reality of pornography. The ‘skins’ are then presented as stamps or music notes on a score. The crumbled anatomical figures refer to the violent images that we are confronted with on a daily basis through the media and emphasizes the relativity of the body.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh has had important solo exhibitions at Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes, FRAC PACA in Marseille, Museum M in Leuven, La Maison Rouge in Paris, Kunstverein Bonn, De Vleeshal in Middelburg, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne in Reims, Musée Gassendi in Digne-les-Bains, Netwerk in Aalst, Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels amongst many others.

His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennial in 1993 and 2013, the Taipei Biennial in 2014, and at Tate Gallery in London, Centre Pompidou in Paris, ICA in London, De Appel Arts Centre in Amsterdam, Culturgest in Lisbon, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and many others.

● Het Muziekbos

 

‘Het Muziekbos (The Musical Forest)’ is already the ninth solo exhibition of Patrick Van Caeckenbergh at Zeno X Gallery. In recent years, Van Caeckenbergh has continued to work with tremendous dedication on his project ‘Drawings of Old Trees’. At the Venice Biennale in 2013, a selection of these drawings was shown in the Arsenale, followed by a showing in M Museum, Leuven (BE), the first presentation in a museum context. With ‘Het Muziekbos’, the project is brought to a symbolic close. A first instalment was presented earlier this year at Lehmann Maupin Gallery in New York, which from now on also represents the work of Patrick Van Caeckenbergh.

In 1997, Patrick Van Caeckenbergh moved from Ghent to the small town of Sint-Kornelis-Horebeke. The new environment and village life - a mixture of people, myths, events and other elements - would prove an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the artist. It was in this sense also a special tree in his garden that inspired him to create his first drawings. To him, trees are a form of natural architecture that possess great magical power. They also function as metaphors for the work of the artist; branches or ideas are interconnected, grow out of one another and originate from a root or basic theme. After years of close observation of trees, Van Caeckenbergh is able to capture their essence or skeleton in a drawing, which he then improvises upon. He himself likes to compare this to a musical score that serves as a base for variations and interpretations. The artist often adds playful elements such as doors or windows, or he alludes to the anthropomorphic character of the tree. To the artist, walking through a forest is like gazing at the clouds, in the sense that it stimulates his imagination.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh schematizes, catalogues and, in this way, renders the world in an entirely unique manner. He also tries to fill the gaps in science through the visual expression of his own thought patterns. The trees are also thought structures of sorts from which he can hang his ideas.

The sculpture ‘Box of (Building) Blocks’ attempts to lay bare the parallels between fictional cosmogonies or creation stories and scientific explanations for the origin of the world. The parallel histories of the forest and the cross are explored as well. The sequoia here clearly alludes to the ambiguous relationship man has with nature; the mythical proportions and age of the tree cannot prevent its tragic fate at the hands of industry.

As is often the case with Van Caeckenbergh, the thought process that guides the conception of a work is expressed in his preparatory models. The scale model with the appropriate title ‘Model for the Christ before Jesus’ is in this case also accompanied by a collage that visualises Van Caeckenbergh’s ‘vegetal theology’. According to apocryphal writings, a date palm grew beside the tomb of Jesus. For centuries, oil from this date palm would be preserved as a relic in vials onto which Christ and the date palm were portrayed. Given the limited size of the vial, the figure and the tree were simplified and depicted as a single image: a single line was used for the arms and the branches, which is how the image of the cross came into being.

Patrick Van Caeckenbergh has had solo exhibitions at Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht (NL), Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nimes (FR), FRAC PACA, Marseille (FR), M Museum, Leuven (BE), La Maison Rouge, Paris (FR), Kunstverein Bonn, Bonn (DE), De Vleeshal, Middelburg (NL), FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Reims (FR) and others.

His work has also been included in group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale in 1993 and 2013, the Taipei Biennial in 2014 and in Tate Gallery, London (UK), Centre Pompidou, Paris (FR), ICA, London (UK), De Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam (NL), Culturgest, Lisbon (PT), Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (NL) and others.
