Biography

Having chosen an artistic path at an early age, Pierre Clemens began drawing in his teens before studying at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts (Drawing studio 1992–1996). Parallel to his training, he became interested in video and produced a series of works in this medium.

In 1995, during an Erasmus stay at the School of Fine Arts in Athens, Greece, he came across a series of architectural plans dating from the 1950s-1960s that were being thrown away. For him, they became a source of intense research in the form of a palimpsest linked to the theme of landscape as an object of thought and a vector for experimentation. This ongoing research has been summarized in a book [1] that covers 25 years of artistic disciplines.

Exhibitions

His first solo exhibition took place in Brussels in 1996 (Maison de l'art actuel des Chartreux - MAAC), followed by other exhibitions in Belgium and abroad : Center Georges Pompidou, Paris France 1994, Créer d'après la ville; [2] Free Space, [3] NICC, Antwerp Belgium 1999; Galerie B-312, [4] Montreal Canada 2000; Videoformes 2009, [5] Clermond-Ferrand, France; Last day of magic, [6] Venice Biennale Official Off, Italy, 2009; Aperture, [7] GNF Gallery, Brussels, Belgium 2019; etc.

Alongside his artistic activities, he was an assistant at La Cambre ENSAV in live model drawing from 2005 to 2011.

In 2000, he was awarded the International Art Price [8] by the City of Tournai, Belgium.

Music

In addition to his visual art practice, he has been working for several years on composing electroacoustic music, and in 2008 released his first album[1] devoted to his sound experiments. Since then, he has regularly published albums and solo sound pieces on his Lisala [9] label (Brussels)

In 2015, he took part in the Kinokophonography [10] festival organized by The Whitworth Art Centre, University of Manchester, UK. In 2021 and 2022, his music is played during the Audio Rocket festival, [11] organized by the Musicology Department of Osaka University of Arts, Japan.
