Recyclart s’est associé à l’asbl Jeunesse et Arts Plastiques pour lancer ensemble cet automne l’appel à projet « Curating The Station ». Il était proposé à des commissaires d’expositions, galeries émergentes ou à des collectifs d’artistes d’investir les espaces de la Gare du Congrès par une sélection d’œuvres et d’y développer un projet d’exposition, en résonance avec le patrimoine architectural moderniste de la gare.
Après réception de nombreux et intéressants dossiers de candidatures, le choix s’est porté finalement sur le projet Performance Electrics GmbH" commandité par le collectif AGENCY AGENCY

About AGENCY AGENCY
AGENCY AGENCY is an art production agency, an artwork, a collective, a
platform, a think tank inside the future, a party, an artists' placement group, a residency and laboratory for alternative models of artistic production. AGENCY AGENCY promotes destruction for the sake of progress: in severing links with the conventional format of the exhibition and safeguard of contemporary art institutions. AGENCY AGENCY is Helen Turner, Brendan Michal Heshka and Benoit Loiseau.

About Performance Electrics
Founded in 2012 by artist Pablo Wendel, Performance Electrics produces electricity through art, which is then fed into the national grid. The works manifest in temporary actions in public spaces, installations and long-term public art projects. Wendel graduated from the MA Sculpture department at the Royal College of Art, London in 2010. His work deals directly with the immediate environment and is made up of self-defined experiments, which identify boundaries and consequently transgress them.

About the Residency
Artist collective and platform AGENCY AGENCY will take over Bruxelles Congrès Station with an artist residency programme. For five weeks, German artist Pablo Wendel will occupy the space with his project Performance Electrics, the first subversive business venture to
produce and distribute electricity through the national grid with art. Alongside this, AGENCY AGENCY will set up a temporary base in the station and host a series of events including lectures, workshops and performances.

list of sponsors of Performance Electrics:
Solera, Ritter Sport, Rehm, Innovationsfonds Kunst Baden-Württemberg, e-mobil BW, Fonds Soziokultur, Sika

+ patronage of the Minister President of Baden-Württemberg - Winfried Kretschmann.
