Works
[edit]Maarten Vanden Eynde travels constantly around the world to observe divers complexe phenomena (ecology, anthropology, archeology). Vanden Eynde has invented "Genetology", the science that covers several research fields and that forms the theoretical bases of his practice. His work shows us that the usual observation grid to understand our world (opposition of technique and nature / human and not-human) are more and more obsolete and that new ones should be reinvented. The hybrid composition of society, the more and more developed sociotechnical networks make slide the forces but also the power stakes. The transformations are evidently multiple and we can find this in the formal aspect of his work.
In Belgium his practice has received visibility in amongst others the M - Museum Leuven, Leuven and during Manifesta 9, Genk, and principally with his solo exhibition at the M HKA Antwerp. In 2015 his work has been shown in New Orleans (USA), Palazzo Reale in Milan, Italy, and in Lubumbashi, D.R. Congo, but also in Hangar H18 and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, Belgium.
