Noé Sendas (Brussels, 1972) studied at Ar.Co, in Lisbon, his education also involve periods of study at foreign schools, like the Royal College of Arts, in London and the school of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as residencies (particular note should be given to the one in the Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, in Berlin). Halfway through the nineties he began presenting his work, and the few years have witnessed the blossoming of his career. His participation in several exhibitions, especially in En Garde!, (Culturgest, Porto 2002-03), a solo exhibition with an anthological matrix that allowed an understanding of the artist trajectory and realized a personal inclination previously only indicated.Sendas resorts to different means of expression: video, sculpture, sound, drawing and sound. Explicit and implicit references to artists and literary, cinematic, or musical creations are part of his raw materials. Quotes from Shakespeare and Beckett are present, for example, as well as different movie director’s -Godard among them- and Coltrane. Specific concerns about the reflection and practice of visual arts can also be added to his repertoire.
Depuis plus de quinze ans, Contretypes organise des résidences pour des photographes internationaux. Chacun d'eux, à sa manière, a réalisé un travail sur Bruxelles, à Bruxelles. Le travail de vingt-neuf de ces photographes est exposé, en ce moment, au Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles. La plupart n'étant représenté par qu'une seule de leurs œuvres. Résultat : de belles découvertes mais qui nous laissent un sentiment d'inachevé.

Noé Sendas (born in Brussels, 1972, lives and works in Berlin & Madrid) began presenting his work in the late nineties.The exploration of loss is a central motif underlying Noé Sendas repertoire. Employing a variety of references, explicit or implicit quotations from artistic, literary, cinematic and musical sources are part of his raw materials. Sendas’ work explores the theoretical and material constructs of the body, the observer’s perception mechanisms and the discursive potential of exhibition methods.

"PAR TERRE" de RUI CALCADA BASTOS
"Par Terre" est le dernier travail réalisé par Rui Calçada Bastos. Pendant sa Résidence d'artiste à Bruxelles en 2011, il a assidûment fréquenté le marché aux puces de la Place du Jeu de Balle. Ce travail, qui comprend photographies et vidéos, montre le bric-à-brac et autres débris caractéristiques de ce lieu. Images et restes divers - un verre brisé, un rapport économique ou un mouchoir taché de sang - sont présentés comme les décombres de cette place, par terre.
Par ailleurs, une vidéo dépeint les chiffonniers locaux et leurs déambulations au milieu du "capharnaüm des déche...
