Finale Uitverkoop Filip Van Dingenen: Protocols & Diplomacy

This publication brings together and interweaves several projects from Belgian Filip Van Dingenen’s artistic practice. It illuminates the participatory, ecological, and critical collective research dimensions embedded in each of his projects. Protocols & Diplomacy attempts to present the underlying protocols as well as the lived experiences and stories that have emerged from them, providing insight into Van Dingenen’s own diplomacy as an artist. To this end, he identifies, explores, and observes the critical zones within his practice. This exploration is guided by a series of contradictory concepts that continue to fascinate him. Particular attention is given to the research practices Ecole Mondiale, Nfumu-Ngui (The Botanical Archive of the Albino Gorilla Snowflake), Suskewiet Visions, and Platform for Algae Diplomacy.
