WELKOM!!!!👀👀👀
SATURDAY 20 + 27 JUNE 1-9 PM
SECONDroom expo No. 390
invites you to
‘THE BUNKER. A Group Show’
→ Visiting Antwerp Art Box and SECONDroom, I imagined my sculpture Rusty Cloud in the space and what could happen if I opened it up: inviting other artists in. That impulse became ‘THE BUNKER’.
→ A bunker implies collective shelter, pressure, the preservation and accumulation of things to be cherished and in whose presence I’d like to be: hosted by the objects, close to them.
Who are the participating artists?
→ -Sophie Beinke Nathalie Campion erik_haemers_works nage pas ou t’as pas pied Jeffe De Brabandere Damien De Lepeleire Ruben De Smet In Care Of Michal Luft Hilde Overbergh Marie Noorbergen Daan Peeters Pieter-Jan Peeters loan verbanck Nel Verbeke
The display window of the Antwerp Art Box features a picture of Andy Warhol’s portrait of Joseph Beuys – why?
→ You might read them as opposites - art as ritual in service of social utopia versus art as reproduction and circulation; the forest and inner transformation versus the factory. Yet those opposites aren’t as precise or absolute as they first appear. The shared undertow I recognise is their determination to transform what art has become. To invite fellow artists into proximity with this portrait feels meaningful to me. The nearness of a portrait invites conversation. Maybe we’d like to tell them something?
