In 2014, he created a permanent monumental work in the public space in Rotterdam as part of Sculpture International Rotterdam. As the co-funder and main tutor of the artist residency program of WIELS from 2008 to 2020, Oorebeek has mentored a large number of young artists, especially within the Brussels art scene. He is the co-founder of the independent exhibition space A.VE.NU.DE.JET.TE – Institut de Carton in Brussels, which since 2011 has exhibited numerous artists such as Jochen Lempert, Suchan Kinoshita, Sara Deraedt, Sylvie Eyberg.

In Belgium, the S.M.A.K, M Leuven, and KANAL-Centre Pompidou have acquired his work.

Exhibition text

Depending on how they are viewed, images oscillate between representation, abstraction and sign. They circulate as visual signifiers, are appropriated, transformed, charged with new content, they lose their context and find another that clings to them, absorbs their meaning and injects a new one. But images also structure how we remember and what is atmospherically superimposed on our experience already in the moment of seeing. They control our perception, even if it often proves to be already mediatized.

Willem Oorebeek works with mass-produced images, which he manipulates and transposes using various printing processes. Banal, yet strategically placed communication objects in the space of the public thus become image surfaces and are exposed in their malleable structure between abstraction and depiction, form and sign. Attracting and at the same time withdrawing, the media image presents itself as an omnipresent surface that suggests perception of the world and yet blocks access to reality in its insistent presence.

In her photographs, videos, installations, playlists and publications, Jieun Lim deals with remembering and recording events and situations. From this, she weaves narratives that seem coincidental and yet radiate evidence, but also reorganize time and space in their non-linear structure beyond dramatic progression. They circulate around intimacy and inner emotions, convey a deep sense of loss, alienation and obsession, and yet, as a rhythmic sequence of plural, cautious perspectives, leave everything in limbo. Where they meet, something new and yet uncertain emerges that refuses to find a conclusion.
