https://www.interloc.co/

May 24 - June 30, 2025

“I can hear fishing in the forest” is an exhibition that relates various states of being involving the “woods” as a site of projection, embodiment, and experiential understanding. The artist presents projects involving poetry/mentions/thoughts/sayings/exchanges in print, graphics, textiles, sculpture, publishing, and performance, allowing for an intimate encounter with nature, the artist’s mud image, and current events. The artworks traverse the space of the gallery and the natural world, creating a site that is at once a stand, a point, a path, a shore, and a woodland.

Contributor: Nico Dockx & Sandip Patel for InstroomArt & PLUS-ONE Projects, Antwerp, Belgium

In the summer of 2023, Michelin starred chef Seppe Nobels, Nico Dockx and our dear friend Charuwan Pauwels decided to put our energies together to create InstroomArt: a social, culinary and artistic project initiated with the aim of training newcomers and refugees from different parts of the world for a career in hospitality, and hereby promoting diversity, sustainability, and inclusion. These trainees bring their culinary traditions and techniques as well as their memories resulting in unique dishes and related stories that are an ode to their origins. This (nomadic) project is not just a restaurant, but also an academy in which we bring an immersive experience in an artistic and culinary context, with a great social heart where art, food and education work together towards a sustainable future. Migration is a creative situation. We have to cook it up fresh each time! To let ourselves be touched. It is felt. Migration is normal. Migration is necessary. During the forthcoming Antwerp Art Weekend 2025, InstroomArt is “a guest” at PLUS-ONE Projects where we facilitate integration through a welcoming space of dialogue, and culinary and artistic experiences. We will give our chef Sandip Patel (political refugee from Gujarat, India) the floor to serve his ‘Royal Panipuri’ (an Indian street food) recipe to the visitors. He asked us to create together with him a ‘welcoming’ space at PLUS-ONE Projects during that long weekend at the end of May.

Presenter: "Living Proof: Radical Ecofeminist Printmaking," Southern Graphics Conference, Providence, RI

Many of us are familiar with famous naturalists such as conservationist John Muir and artist John James Audubon, both white men, who inspired generations to explore and preserve the outdoors. But who are the women, LGBTQ, or BIPOC environmentalists and artists of history and the present day, and what can be learned from how they have approached their subjects? “Living Proof: Radical Ecofeminist Printmaking” will contextualize the work of contemporary women, LGBTQ, and BIPOC printmaking artists working with themes of ecology, landscape, and nature, within historical traditions and contemporary theory.

Panelists:

Paloma Barhaugh-Bordas, Assistant Professor, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA

Paloma Barhaugh-Bordas is an artist, educator, and activist based in Los Angeles, California where I am the Head of Printmaking and Assistant Professor at Loyola Marymount University. Botanical imagery, specifically plants that are considered invasive, fill the visual space of my prints and installations. Language used to describe invasive species speaks volumes about how we as a society form narratives about who belongs where. I specifically investigate “invasive” species as a non-native and non-binary person, and research metaphors and symbols to address the very question of belonging. My work has been shown nationally and internationally, including solo exhibitions at Casa Lu in Mexico City, Handwerker Gallery, Buffalo Artists Studios, and Sediment Arts. Originally from Denver, Colorado, I received a BA in Liberal Arts from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, and an MFA in Printmaking at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island.

Publication: Featured Artist, Brick Journal, curated by Alexis Iammarino

  • Google Calendar ICS

Brick Journal is a collaborative publication devoted to the visual language, social + geologic histories, and cultural production that stem from and connect to brickmaking and brick work.

Looking to the building arts as cultural expression, Brick Digest exists to create an evolving document for sharing and archiving the occupational traditions, pragmatic beauty, poetic abstraction and complex histories of built environments and land. 

Each issue forms a participatory vessel where contributors are invited to share how their own habits of perception and making are animated by giving deep attention to the brick itself as a vast conceptual terrain–––considering it’s materiality and form to inspire and connect us by following the questions it asks of us.
