]]> What is your relationship to the medium photography?

photography talks without words. it helps, sometimes. photography captures what surrounds us in a different way. I guess this is why I use both, words and images, as they come to me, depending on their own necessity, or mine. Using analog photography, working with an old Leicaflex or Pentax, or Super-8 camera, is not only a way to keep track with materiality or preserving memory, it’s also to continue to work with the possibility of the accident, which is keeping the medium alive, may be changing this accident into a miracle, may be let the accident talk and express something on its own. I look through the lens, I press the button, I “take” the image but what comes out belongs to another reality, that’s the part of magic still contained in photography, what photography reveals of your own looks, makes you see things you did not know you saw. it could be frightening sometimes. but that’s what revealing is about : it makes you see. and then you have to decide what to do with it : leave it alone ? show it ? print it ? associate it with words ? with other images ? in any case, freed from you, the photo you took will tell it’s own story.

What role does publishing play in your artistic practice and in particular in your work afto?

it’s essential. a book, a publication, gives the possibility for words or images to live a life for themselves. nothing does it better. choosing a paper, a format, a printing technique, is obviously part of the process too. I love riso for small scale projects.

What are you working on at the moment?

I am working on two photo projects that could become books, one is called “shelter” and the other one is called “North America backwards”. and I am struggling with a long term project called “peripou” which involves photo, super 8 and mainly writing, with a biologist (questioning memory and bees, but not only).

Anne Penders — from the series “North American backwards”, 2019 (work in progress)

M HKA’pen III
In 2020 M HKA’pen will centre around the work of Panamarenko. A workshop in digital or physic form, having the Panamarenkohuis in Antwerp as its base.

M HKA’pen I
The first edition took place in 2018 during Sanguine / Bloedrood, an exhibition curated by Luc Tuymans at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp, Belgium. After a tour through the exhibition, which examines thematic parallels in Baroque and contemporary art, we start with writing exercises in dialogue with certain works on display. Throughout the days, stories are written, poems emerge, essays take shape. At the third day of our workshop, this shape is further developed during master classes on performance and graphic design under the guidance of Carmien Michels (performance) and Nathan Gotlib (typography / graphic design).

On August 4, 2018, the created works will receive their deserved attention from many visitors, while being presented at M HKA during the Museum Night in Antwerp.

Participants: Angela Peters, Petri van Asseldonck, Wenying Gang, Annemie Ghekiere, Joke Schrauwen, Lea Theunissen

M HKA’pen II
During this four-day writing workshop at M HKA in Antwerp, we will look for inspiration in the literary and experimental group exhibition AMBERES – Roberto Bolaños Antwerp by senior curator Nav Haq. We start with several warm-up sessions to let the ink flow. Later on, during the exploration phase, we focus on content, form and rendering of one of the developed texts. During a master class led by Simone Atangana Bekono, the writer will support all participants with professional feedback in one-on-one sessions. What will your text be? A video, a screaming session, a wall text, a roll of kitchen paper? The audience of the Museum Night can discover it on August 3, 2019, in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp.

Participants: Julia Alegre, Celine de Greef, Liesbet Grupping, Hadewych Louwagie, Marjon Meijer, Inne Peeters, Leen Raats
