ILSE D’HOLLANDER

Posted on 2019-09-23

This comprehensive overview, featuring both paintings and works on paper, will span the entirety of D’Hollander’s career, with many works being exhibited for the first time. Ilse D’Hollander created an extraordinary and highly resonant body of work which demonstrates a profoundly developed sense of color, composition, scale and surface. Through her use of subtle tones and pared down compositions, her work highlights the rich dialogue between representation and abstraction. D’Hollander drew inspiration from her surroundings in both Sin-Niklaas, Belgium, where she was born, and the small town of Paulatem, in the Flemish countryside, where she spent the last, highly productive years of her life. Her paintings allude to the material world, suggesting objects, interiors, rural vistas and vast horizons; nonetheless, these images remain resolutely abstract. Focused on the ways in which color and form are perceived, D’Hollander’s work reveals a masterful command of graphic composition and painterly touch.

GABRIEL SIERRA – MUSEUM HOURS

Posted on 2019-09-23

Museum Hours is the reconstruction of a small collective exhibition organized in the early 1970s by a group of unknown artists. All the works presented could be situated within the canon of Western modernism, whilst also strongly resonating with conceptual art and the current global political situation. The pieces in this project share the same dilemma: how to represent or interpret ideas from a dream world. Museum Hours also takes cues from writings
produced by Sierra in his personal dream journal, as well as on situations and characters from a novel yet to be published by the artist.

Opposite – Bruno Berry, Untitled, 1970

Exhibition runs through to October 12th, 2019

KATIE SETTEL – (UN)FORGOTTEN

Posted on 2019-09-23

“(un)Forgotten” is described as “a photography-based exhibit about a common, shame-filled-secret: a ‘forgotten’ sibling.”

“I have a brother who is intellectually challenged and when he was born, doctors urged my parents to send him to an institution,” Settel explains. “As a kid, I always knew of Andy, but had never met him and was always haunted by that — he was a family member we rarely spoke of. But what I’ve learned when sharing this story is that I’m not the only one with this lost history. There are still a ton of brothers and sisters in group homes that are alone because this secret endures.”

Through an artistic encounter of powerful images captured at the abandoned institution and their haunting contexts, Settel believes her photographs will draw viewers into an emotional space of awareness, understanding and possibly healing. “I want to tell my story, show that there is no shame. I want to combine history with today’s acceptance and unite families so that they may become advocates for siblings who cannot speak for themselves.”

MICHIKO KON – CANNIBAL FEAST

Posted on 2019-09-23

At first glance they appear to be ordinary objects — a designer dress, a top hat, a high-heeled boot. But after closer examination, the viewer realizes that sliced peas have been fastened to the dress lining; the surface of the hat has been crafted from sardines with eyes staring into your soul for their time has clearly run out; that the stiletto boot has been stitched together using ark clam shells with a fish head tip. Michiko Kon’s work is simultaneously seductively beautiful and shockingly disturbing. Michiko Kon: Cannibal Feast presents a collection of platinum palladium prints from the 1990’s in which Kon draws on her powerful imagination to create a tension between the real and the imagined, subtly manipulating the perceptions and sensations of her viewers.
