Why return to places while one could proceed endlessly. The solo exhibition contemporary art displays photos, paintings, videos, installation. Incidental urban landscapes that equally reveal a vanished human presence and a transient future.
Solo exhibition contemporary art; Photos, paintings, videos, installation
Nettles abound in abandoned places: places that have evaded attention and, left to their own devices, gradually evolve their owndynamic. These are incidental urban landscapes that equally reveal a vanished human presence and a transient future. Antoine Berghs (Geleen 1971) examines paradoxical moments of our existence, finding them in the periphery of cities and consciousness alike. In the everyday influx of images, this is how Berghs pinpoints what is worth seeing. The findings he presents in this solo exhibition make no attempt to disclose why we should return to these places. Rather, they explore the evasive train of thought that underpins them.
The corresponding publication with contributions of Pietje Tegenbosch and David Hamers brings together works created over the last seven years. The T-Time, the discussion meeting, is held on 24 February at 12.30 h.
A word of welcome is done by Peter Fransman who starts as new director of Museum Het Domein on January 1, 2008.
