Artists Space
International Projects: Belgium
This exhibition is second of a series, International Projects, taking place at Artists Space during 1983-84. The International Projects series, which has received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, will present work by five artists. In addition to Belgium, countries represented in the series will be Holland, Italy and Australia. This fall, an artist from Canada, Andy Patton was chosen by curator Tim Guest to exhibit as part of the series. A curator in each country has been invited to select one artist to travel to Artists Space to install an exhibition. The International Projects series is an extension of Artists Space's highly succesful U.S. Projects series, which presented ten one-person exhibitions from 1980-82, also sponsored by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Jan Debbaut, Curator of the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven and formerly Curator at the ICC in Antwerp, selected Didier Vermeiren, and has contributed an essay on the artists for the accompanying brochure.
Didier Vermeiren was born in Brussels and now lives in Paris. He has shown recently in Paris at the Galerie Eric Fabre (1983), In Antwerp at the Galerie Micheline Szwajcer (1982) and in Brescia at the Galleria Massimo Minini (1981). Vermeiren has also shown in a church in Audenarde, Belgium (1982) and did an open studio exhibition while in New York in 1978.
