altblog – Benoît Maire – 2016
La première exposition personnelle en Belgique de Benoît Maire donne d’emblée une impression aiguë de classicisme et de réflexion contemporaine. D’une part, des peintures sur toile sont accrochées au mur, d’autre part quelques sculptures sur des socles viennent interroger le dispositif général d’une exposition.

The double-show seeks to show the ever-changing perspectives of artists and their capacity to develop visual forms that respond to the culture of their times. The exhibition elaborates the themes, ideas, beliefs, and passions that have stimulated artists in their struggle to work within and against established conventions, often directly engaging their political and social contexts.

Participating artists: Richard Aldrich, Thomas Bayrle, Merlin Carpenter, Thilo Heinzmann, Karl Holmqvist, Simon Thompson, Oscar Tuazon

altblog – Dave Hardy
En créant des sculptures à partir de plaques de verre, de mousse, de métal, de ciment et de divers objets trouvés, Dave Hardy compose des sculptures à l’équilibre apparemment précaire, tel un défi intentionnellement donné à la gravité.

altblog-EtienneCourtois
Following visits of fifty-some artists studios in Belgium, the gallery will present works by nine very diverse and emerging artists. The title of the exhibition not only refers to the eponymous restaurant in Ghent where the idea was born during a lunch meeting in between studio visits. It also underlines the ambition of these nine artists as well as the purpose of the show, to put a spotlight on talented artists who haven’t yet had many opportunities to showcase their works: Sarah Caillard, Étienne Courtois, Kasper De Vos, Douglas Eynon, Julien Goniche, Liesbeth Henderickx, Alejandra Hernández, Sanam Khatibi and Klaas Vanhee.

altblog---Seth-David-Friedman
Seth David Friedman creates sculptures which look as if they came out of a body or are ready to go in one. “Where one man put finished sculpture into the earth for future generations and organizations to remain inspired, the next man pulls raw rock out of the very same earth and converts them into new signs in pursuit of preserving old histories” Jessica Powers in Artslant

altblog – Daniel Gustav Cramer
Daniel Gustav Cramer’s exhibition is in its essence a portrait of a landscape, of a man on a road, lost in his thoughts; it’s a portrait of the experience of a single moment. If you take this image as a starting point, the exhibition unfolds and reveals the different faces a journey can have.

altblog – Pieter van der Schaaf – Glassbox
«Depuis mon arrivée à Paris, je photographie des pierres sur les chantiers et dans les rues en travaux, particulièrement des pierres sur des palettes. Ce qui m’intéresse, c’est la manière dont elles sont emballées : les palettes et les attaches soulignent l’aspect temporaire de leur présence. Je vois les fragments présentés sur les palettes comme des pièces d’un puzzle, des parties d’une image impossible à reconstituer.» Pieter van der Schaaf

altblog – Delphine Burtin
«By hijacking objects from their everyday use and reassigning their significance, the arbitrary combinatory game generated by Delphine Burtin results in a surprising photographic language, in which objects we thought we knew become unfamiliar and the incongruous associations they set in train undermine our conventional representations.»
