About Eva Steynen.Deviation(s)
Eva Steynen.Deviation(s) was founded in 2013. Situated in the upcoming east-side of Antwerp, on the ground floor of a 19th century mansion. The gallery has a multidisciplinary approach and works closely with a small group of mid-career and young artists, mostly Belgian based. Occasionally there is space for international collaborations. The aim is to show new talents to discover as well as supporting and promoting the gallery's more established artists.
At art fairs the gallery presents solo-booths and group presentations reflecting the gallery's philosophy and program. The gallery presents five or six exhibitions per season with an annual program of solo shows, performances, artist editions, salons and thematic group projects.
Currently the gallery represents Diane Bogaerts, Christine Clinckx, Benoît Felix, Alice Janne, Johannes Ulrich Kubiak, Wannes Lecompte, Fred Michiels, Robert Soroko, Jan Verbruggen.
Building a sustainable trust-based relation between artists and gallerist, the purpose is 'to grow well together'. To aim and think together by organizing and creating a connection between artists, gallery, collectors, curators and art lovers. The commercial aspects of a gallery may not invade the artistic process, hence Eva Steynen distinguishes itself by rather risk-taking and curatorial shows often with a museal character. The visitor is invited to discover, reflect and connect.
Eva Steynen.Deviation(s) is a member of Antwerp Art and co-organizer of BORGER, a dynamic group of galleries and art institutions in the East-district of Antwerp.
After 22 years of experience in movie, audio-visual and theater production and writing and having realized some exhibition projects as a nomadic independent curator in Antwerp, Eva Steynen established in 2013 Eva Steynen.Deviation(s) gallery.
Having a back-ground in art and philosophy, the rather curatorial projects evolve from a philosophical enquiry and a curiosity for aspects of the event in the artist’s act.
