Group show. The project behind this exhibition is based on the meeting of a group of artists whose sole connection is that of a social link.
The project behind this exhibition is based on the meeting of a group of artists whose sole connection is that of a social link: energies and intentions shared collectively in order to design, plan and present their respective works on their own initiative. Each artist has developed their individual practice indepedently from the collective. The exhibition simply creates a space for the different concepts and visions to join and confront each other.
Instead of giving a theme or impose a single overarching idea, such as a curator might do, we would simply like to offer the visitor a thread, a prism through which to encounter the various artworks.
In this exhibition, each artist in some way refers to 'nature', or something 'natural' in his/her work. The title of this exhibition NATUREOFARTOFNATURE evokes a sense of something 'being natural', 'nature' as well as addressing 'the nature of' an artefact, a medium, a work of art, which presents itself as a new reality. The artworks exhibited here find themselves within a nature-culture dialectic.
A previous exhibition within this ongoing project was organised in the north of France in 2012. This show is the second stage of the project and will take place this September at w-o-l-k-e, an artist run space based on the 11th floor of a tower in the center of Brussels. This exhibition will be one step of the project which will continue in other places across Europe. On view are new projects by Sebatien Rien and Bertrand Boche. Other artists include: Samuele Belloni and Marco Pagliardi, two artists from the emergent scene in italy, and Ludovic Ledent.
