Phillip Van den Bossche studied art history in Ghent, and attended the Curatorial Training Programme of De Appel in Amsterdam. He worked from 2001 as a curator at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and has been director of Mu.ZEE in Ostend since 2007. In recent years he curated exhibitions with amongst others Carsten Höller, Eric van Hove, Sammy Baloji, Lili Dujourie, Saddie Choua, M’barek Bouhchichi and Richard Tuttle. Upcoming research and exhibition projects include Pascale Marthine Tayou and Papa Mfumu’eto 1er. He also wrote extensively about modernism, dada and surrealism, beside essays on the work of Allen Ruppersberg, Jean Katambayi Mukendi and Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven. Since 2013 Mu.ZEE, the museum of modern and contemporary art in Ostend, is doing research on colonial and postcolonial histories closely related with re-thinking the archive, the collection and exhibition policy.
Mu.ZEE
Since 2013 Mu.ZEE, the museum of modern and contemporary art in Ostend, is doing research on colonial and postcolonial histories closely related with re-thinking the archive, the collection and exhibition policy. There are questions that no museum can ignore today: who speaks? Who is listening? And why? Three Mu.ZEE exhibitions and the most recent collection presentation will be at the center of this presentation: “Hunting & Collecting” with Sammy Baloji (2014), “European Ghosts – the representation of art from Africa in the twentieth century” (2015), “Bokutani Ya Masangisi Ya Kinshasa Na Masangisi Ya Ostende” (A conversation between collections from Kinshasa and Ostend) with Sinzo Aanza (2018) and “Transform the local. Poetry must be made by all” (2019).
