Johan Tahon: Embrace
Johan Tahon was born in Menen/Menin in 1965. He lives and works in Oudenaarde (Belgium). He studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, and is recognized as one of the most important Belgian artists of his generation.
Tahon is no stranger to IKOB 鈥� Museum of Contemporary Art, where he previously exhibited his works in 2007 together with Ronny Delrue, and having been presented in various shows of the museum鈥檚 collection ever since. Prompting his return to Eupen was a conversation in which the artist openly confessed a desire to revise his work 鈥� Kreissaal鈥� (2006), which has been part of IKOB鈥檚 collection for sixteen years. The resulting exhibition project, 鈥淯marmung鈥� (Embrace), tackles the pressing questions of art, its conservation, related copyright claims, and the general purpose of museums.
