Solo show
They are something you have to get used to, these ‘furniture objects’ by Raphaël Buedts, which he compiled at the end of the seventies and in the eighties. They have been made from unusual materials, like discarded furniture, twigs, sheets of material, sticks and strips of wood. Apart from this he used rope, lead, canvas, silk, bricks and in some cases even shells. His handwork is aimed at using the material to create something spiritually and sensually tangible. Sometimes you have the feeling that he is trying to break through their close, uncommunicative aspect, and sometimes it seems as if his aim is to keep them in a form that is as introvert as possible.
Starting on 5th September 2009 the S.M.A.K. will be holding an exhibition in association with Cera together with the presentation of a book compiled by Frank Maes. On display will be an overview of his work, especially his sculptural work, as well as his drawings and paintings.
Opening of the exhibition on Friday 4th September, starting at 8pm.
