Belgian participants for Chicago Architecture Biennial

The Chicago Biennial titled ‘…And other such stories’ features work of Vincent Meessen, Sammy Baloji and Filip de Boeck.

In 2016 Sammy Baloji and Filip de Boeck collaborated to create the exhibition Urban Now: City Life in Congo and the accompanying publication Suturing the City: Living Together in Congo’s Urban Worlds—endeavors that underscored the intersection of contemporary art and anthropology. Building on the success of their earlier collaboration, they are currently at work on a new project about colonial and postcolonial migration across the Congolese-Angolan border and the impact of migration on Congo’s sociopolitical history.

Vincent Meessen has presented films and artworks in museums around the world, including a recent solo show at Centre Pompidou, Paris, and he has participated in the Venice, Shanghai, and Taipei biennials, among other exhibitions.
