Vincent Meessen, born 1971 in Baltimore (USA), lives and works in Brussels. He studied journalism and cultural policies, then worked as a social worker and photographer. He actually studies at the HISK (Higher Institute for Fine Arts) in Antwerp. His work develops mainly around the idea of 'disputed spaces' as political issue. Once preferring photography as a medium, he now explores a multitude of media, including video. His work has been shown, among others, during the exhibitions Pistes and Event #02 (Netwerk Galerij, Aalst) and Ename Actueel. He also published the photo book Qui-vive (La Lettre Volie, 2003).
