VIERØ — PITTELOUD

Filed under: Art contemporain, Photographie | Tags: , , |

International Pastime by Marianne Vierø consists of recent wall work, installation and photography. The show investigates a potential equilibrium between the symbolic and the real.

EIGHTEEN ANALOGUE DOUBLE EXPOSURES

Filed under: Photographie | Tags: , , |

I am attracted to pictures that aren’t appreciated in contemporary art, but only if they have what you could call mythical potential. A cliché is only interesting if it contains a hidden truth.

GEHIRN, GESTIRN, GESTEIN

Filed under: Art contemporain, Collaboration, Photographie | Tags: , , |

Sarah Westphal‘s first solo exhibition in Brussels, curated by Philippe Braem at Rossi ContemporaryGehirn, Gestirn, Gestein, mainly consists of brand new works. Central is the exploration of images that are ‘housed’ in us and haunt our mind, traces that remain after an appropiation of space. But also the conspiracy of collected relicts inwhich history literally and figuratively nestles, appears in the works on show.

Rossi Contemporary, Bruxelles. 03.12.2011  > 21.01.2012.
