Belgium calling - Part II
Oct 24, 2018 - Dec 09, 2018
Representing the diverse nature of contemporary art, the used media range from painting, drawing and sculpture to photography, video and installation. Some artists are only in the spring of their lives, such as Stevie Dix (b.1990) whose starting oeuvre bears witness to a raw, determined painting quality. In addition to names featured on the mainstream art scene, such as Panamarenko, Jan Fabre and Koen Vanmechelen, this exhibition is also an excellent opportunity to (re)discover - unjustly overlooked - pearls. Just think of the autonomous, photographic portraits of children made by Marie-Jo Lafontaine. They seem to remind us of the - since the original sin? - lost innocence. Or the clever installations of Stefaan Dheedene in which he appears and disappears at the same time.
