CONCEPT: TILMAN
ORGANISATION: CCNOA, Brussels (BE)

Due to the fact that our art organization CCNOA was forced to close its doors in Brussels at the end of last year, we have decided to focus – at least for now – on the circulation of our touring group exhibitions while developing new concepts and ways to communicate our aims and goals and continue our activities as an international, multidisciplinary platform for contemporary ‘reductive’ art.

Minusspace in cooperation with CCNOA is proud to present to the public our most recent project, the first edition of 30/30 – IMAGE ARCHIVE PROJECT (IAP).

30/30-IAP’s basic idea is to slowly establish a collective collection, which will introduce the mesmerizing range of artistic approaches pursued in a pictorial dialogue and create an ever-increasing overview of contemporary artistic production in the realm of ‘reductive’ art on an international level. 30/30-IAP will be administered by CCNOA in a joint effort with a selection of those artists CCNOA has cooperated with over the last 12 years as well as with newly invited artists from around the globe.

The project’s title simply refers to the artwork’s exact size, which is set at 30 x 30 cm with a maximum depth of 5 cm. Choosing this size will also enable us to travel this project cost effectively and it will allow us to store it easily (Museum in a suitcase).

Since this collective collection is an international open call to artists interested in participating, the continuous growth of 30/30-IAP will allow us to create exhibitions in varying configurations and size.

CCNOA is currently scheduling forthcoming presentations of 30/30-IAP in smaller artist-run spaces in Australia, Europe, Japan, New Zeeland and the USA.
