Agency vzw was founded in 2019 [1] by artist and activist Kobe Matthys (1970–2023) together with a group of people to support the activity of Agency as a practice.
Agency is the generic name of a Brussels-based agency that was established in 1992. Agency constitutes a growing list of things that resist the split between the classifications of “culture” and “nature” and consequently between ‘expressions’ and ‘ideas’, ‘creations’ and ‘facts’, ‘subjects’ and ‘objects’, ‘humans’ and ‘non-humans’, ‘originality’ and ‘tradition’, ‘individuals’ and ‘collectives’, etc... These things are derived from juridical processes, lawsuits, cases, controversies, affairs and so forth around intellectual property more specificaly copyrights, patents, trade marks, etc... The concept of intellectual property relies upon the assumption of the division between ‘culture’ and ‘nature’. Each thing on the list calls forth the moment of hesitation in terms of this division. Agency invokes things from it’s list in varying assemblies. Each assembly explores topologically a different question of the performative consequences of the apparatus of intellectual property for an ecology of art practices.
The organisation’s purpose is to explore the interference of the apparatus of intellectual property law for an ecology of artistic practices and to revive a sustainable diversity of practices.
A praticotheque is what Kobe envisioned the ensemble of the space, the List and library to be. An environment built to allow research, debate and alliance between practices.
In a trajectory supported by the Flemish Community, Agency vzw is today working on ways to open up the praticotheque to the public and continue the practice of Agency.
AGENCY VZW WIKI
The Agency vzw wiki is an experiment in creating a user-driven and -governed inventory of the praticotheque in a wiki-environment. It is under construction by a dedicated working group but also the public during editathons.
Only certain pages are accessible to the public, listed here in the list of public accessible pages. If you wish to have access to the wiki, please send us an email (see below: contact).
You'll find everything you need to know about Agency's wiki and wikis in general in the Agency toolbox.
To see the old website, please go to agentive.org/m.
