Willem Vermoere (b. 1960 B) studied cinearts and photography at KASK, the royal Academy of Fine Arts in Gent, Belgium in the eighties. After a brief career in video production and in commercial photography he started teaching at KASK. Teaching photography and ‘fine arts’ students alike, the art practice position he stood for was about the place of photography within the fine arts. Meanwhile Willem Vermoere developed an art practice concentrated on constructed photography, figures of speech and theatrical performance in or outside the studio environment. Recent exhibitions (2018-25) include: The Golden Ass (g), Cargo Cult (g), De Maat der Dingen (s), Leçons de choses (s), Constellaties (duo), Chalk & Cheese (s) and HOLA! (g) Mr. Man, CHIVALRY IS DEAD January 2026 (with Lotte Toke Lelo Maes)
