About Vincent Meessen
Vincent Meessen (born 1971 in Baltimore, USA, lives and works in Brussels) operates at the crossroads of contemporary art, moving images and research.
His artistic work is woven from a constellation of characters, gestures, and signs that maintain a polemical relation to the writing of history and the westernization of imaginaries.
Meessen is a founding member of various alliances including Universal Embassy (2001-2005), Potential Estate (2005-2011) and Jubilee -platform for artistic research and production. With “Personne et les autres”, a collective exhibition at the Belgian Pavilion of the 56th Venice Biennale (2015), he has represented Belgium with ten invited artists from four continents. Other biennale participations include Cuenca Biennale, Biennale de Dakar, Berlin Biennale, São Paulo Bienal, Chicago Architecture Biennial, Biennale de Lubumbashi, Printemps de Septembre, Toulouse; Shanghai Biennale, Taipei Biennale. His films have been screened at film festivals including Berlinale, New York Film Festival, IFFR, IDFA, Hotdocs, FID and Fespaco.His work has been the subject of solo/duo exhibitions most recently at CIVA, Brussels (2023); Mu.Zee, Oostende, (2021) ; The Power Plant, Toronto (2019); Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery, Concordia University, Montreal (2018); Centre Pompidou, Musée national d’art moderne, Paris (2018).
