ART TRECK Exhibition: from the 1st of August until September 12th, 2009 Galerie Mekanik, St.-Jacobsmarkt 73, Antwerp, Belgium

For the 6th edition of the widely renowned yearly “Art Trek” expo, 14 young international artists present their illustrative works in a collective exhibition questioning the art scene’s boundaries.

Brecht Vandenbroucke (BE), Brent Wadden (CA), Ephameron (BE), Escif (ES), Esther Pearl Watson (US), Gemma Correll (UK), Julien Kedryna (FR), Louis Reith (NL), Marcus Oakley (UK), Mark Todd (US), Pacolli (BR),
Raymond Biesinger (CA), Sammy Stein (FR) and Ward Zwart (BE).

Held at the gallery of renowned comic book store Mekanik Strip in Antwerp, Belgium, the name “Art Trek” was invented as an analogy to the science fiction tv show “Star Trek”. Hence also the show’s subtitle – this is the new generation of young artists who don’t pretend to make “Art” with a capital A, but who want to express themselves with the means most interesting to them, and show their works to the outside world.

Every year during summer, 14 selected artists expose for at least a month. From stencils, silkscreen prints, comic books and paintings over computer designed drawings and collages, every artist has his or her unique style, all of them representing the graphic image of the new millennium.
