Philippine Hoegen is a visual artist living in Brussels. In her multi-stranded, predominantly performative practice, she explores the ways in which we continuously create versions of ourselves, the apparatuses and processes we use for this and what that means for our understanding of what a 'self' is. In her work, performance is explicitly approached and activated as a research strategy: a way of thinking in which the physical is involved.

She studied at the KABK in The Hague, the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam and a.pass in Brussels. She is now a researcher at CARADT, Avans University, NL; teaches at AKV St Joost, Breda and is regularly mentoring at a-pass, Brussels.

Recent activities include: The solo performance Ventriloquists III and a discussion about her research project The Self as a Relational Infrastructure in Process at the conference DIS_SEMINAR organised by Art ≈ Research, Amsterdam, 2019; Solo performance Ventriloquists III in the exhibition Unfinished Business at Sattelkammer, Bern, CH, 2019; Being as Becoming, residency/exhibition and joint research project at Onomatopee, Eindhoven, 2018; Ventriloquists III, solo performance at the Plymouth University (SAR conference) and at U-Twente, (Narrative Matters conference), 2018; Crossed Wires a film about the Brussels art world, commissioned by Art Brussels, 2018.

Kristien Van den Brande is a Brussels-based writer, editor, dramaturge and researcher. An ongoing interest in the (im)materiality, image and performativity of writing has characterized her work, which engages with a range of disciplines including literature, performance, expanded publishing, urbanism and sexuality. Inspired by ‘minor literatures’, she does ongoing research about 'Support de Fortune’, a notion that refers to forms of writing that take place on throw-away paper or in the margin of print. She is a living book and co-editor in Mette Edvardsen’s project Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine. Together with Myriam Van Imschoot she set up oralsite.be, an online platform for expanded publishing. As dramaturg or assistent she collaborated with Christine De Smedt (Untitled #4), Sarah Vanhee (Untitled, Lecture For Every One) and Cecilia Molano (Luciernagas). In 2005 she was a researcher at the Jan Van Eyck Academy in the collaborative project Brakin, initiated by Wim Cuyvers. She studied Philosophy of Pedagogy and Theatre Studies, respectively at the K.U.Leuven and U.Antwerpen.
