Both dates and curator for Contour 2011 are fixed. The 5th Biennial of Moving Image takes place from Saturday, August 27 till Sunday, October 30th.

Contour presents a wide range of compelling video and film artworks and in- stallations by international visual artists. They show newly commissioned as well as existing works in a variety of unique venues in the historical city centre of Mechelen (BEL).

With ‘Sound and Vision: Beyond Reason’, curator Anthony Kiendl (CAN) aims to examine the links between music, moving im- age and social change.
Kiendl: “Experiences of popular music constitute some of our most meaningful and widely shared cultural moments, encompassing both the sonic and the visual. The artists in ‘Sound and Vision: Beyond Reason’ explore the intersections of music and contemporary art, pushing the limits of cultural transformation to places where experience exceeds limits of the ratio- nal and of language itself. These resonant experiences amplify human agency in radicalising social practice.”
