3endene

**3endene**

3endene is a contemporary art collective based in Belgium, known for its interdisciplinary approach that blends visual art, performance, and conceptual experimentation. Founded in the early 2010s, the group emerged from a shared interest in exploring themes of identity, memory, and societal structures through collaborative projects. Members often collaborate across disciplines, including painting, sculpture, video, and live performance, creating immersive and thought-provoking works.

The collective’s name, derived from the Dutch phrase "drie en de negen," loosely translates to "three and the nine," hinting at a numerical or symbolic significance in their work. Their exhibitions and performances frequently engage with historical and contemporary issues, such as migration, political resistance, and cultural displacement. Works may incorporate archival materials, oral histories, or participatory elements, inviting audiences to reflect on personal and collective narratives.

3endene has exhibited internationally, with notable participations in biennials and festivals, including the 13th Sharjah Biennial and the 13th Istanbul Biennial. Their projects often challenge traditional art forms, emphasizing process over finished products and fostering dialogue between artists, viewers, and communities. The collective’s work is characterized by its accessibility and engagement with marginalized voices, aiming to broaden the scope of contemporary art discourse.

While the group maintains a low-profile, their influence can be seen in emerging artists and institutions pushing boundaries in experimental practices. 3endene continues to evolve, with ongoing projects exploring themes of resilience and collective memory in an increasingly fragmented world.
