Abstract

Het zijn opwindende tijden voor jonge schilders: corona, #metoo, Black Lives Matter, het klimaat, mondialisering – allemaal thema’s die vragen om een reactie. Maar hoe toon je als jonge schilder je betrokkenheid, in je eentje, in je atelier, met verf en doek? En wat betekent die betrokkenheid als je schilderijen ineens belanden in de greep van de markt? Brave New World, samengesteld en geschreven door Hans den Hartog Jager, laat zien dat jonge kunstenaars als Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Antonio Obá, Louis Fratino en Issy Wood, met zeer verschillende achtergronden, op grote vragen heel verschillende, fascinerende antwoorden geven. Ze combineren een virtuoze schildertechniek met rijke verwijzingen naar de kunstgeschiedenis, de wereld van alledag en hun persoonlijke achtergrond. Daarmee is het werk van deze generatie een perfecte verbeelding van de wereld waarin we leven – maar dan mooier, gelaagder, intenser.

Abstract

'Risquons-Tout' is an ambitious, thematic group exhibition that explores the potential of transgression and unpredictability. It examines how art challenges the homogenisation of thought in the now infamous echo chambers of our overcrowded info-sphere. 'Risquons-Tout' presents some of the most innovative and influential artists and authors from the Eurocore region, which extends between Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne, Dusseldorf and London, with Brussels at its centre. The title is borrowed from a place located on the Belgian-French border, a real yet liminal space of transition, passage and informal exchanges, notably smuggling. The invited artists negotiate different dynamics of bridging, passing, translating and transgressing. In doing so they burst the safe bubbles generated by prediction algorithms, designed to avoid any risk, whether intellectual, financial, emotional or physical. The exhibition's geographic and political scope addresses today's global connectivity, trans-national circulation and diasporic movements. 'Risquons-Tout' will occupy the entire WIELS building and range out into neighbouring exhibition and performance spaces. It will present the works of 38 internationally recognised or emerging artists. The exhibition proposes a rich array of practices that defy easy categorisation. 'Risquons-Tout' will also include a performative section and an Open School that will serve as a laboratory for artists and scholars to draw upon questions of risk, unpredictability and borders through a range of alternative methods for the transmission of knowledge. Exhibition: WIELS, Brussels, Belgium (12.09.2020 - 10.01.2021).
