Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
During this edition of Antwerp Art Weekend, Gallery Sofie Van de Velde wants to present two 鈥渟trands of looking鈥�. While one exhibition will be more focused on narrative in figurative painting, the other one will touch on the momentary, cerebral and conceptual works.
Titled after the Bob Dylan song, this double-exhibition which spans the two galleries of Sofie Van de Velde (South and New South), asks us to leave the matter behind us. The exhibition shows abstract works on the one hand: artists fitting in a more minimal, still, and conceptual thinking; and figurative narrative works on the other hand. A 鈥渘on-discussion鈥�, as Sofie Van de Velde calls the tension between figuration and abstraction. Dylan sings that the relationship is over, and his former love doesn鈥檛 need to look back to what was but notice what is present. Similarly, the exhibition pleads for the devaluation of binary thinking in art. You鈥檒l see how some artists could鈥檝e fit in the other group, which emphasises the absurdity of the categorisation.
