Programme
Victor Siret, A/C Tales
In Marseille, Victor Siret conjures a deserted city saturated with signs, where the hum of air conditioners replaces the mistral. Drawing from a personal image archive shaped by cinema, television, video games, and advertising, the artist translates these references into embroidery and needlepoint.
Between reality and fiction, the apparent clarity of images gives way to more ambiguous signs.
Arnaud Eubelen, The Practice of Every Day Life
Arnaud Eubelen collects discarded items from the streets of Brussels and other cities and uses them to create furniture with an artistic flair: tables, chairs, armchairs, lamps, as well as objects whose utilitarian purpose remains ambiguous. As a designer caught between two worlds, Eubelen has developed a distinctive style: his furniture has a "low-tech" and retrofuturistic feel. His fascination with discarded objects and the raw aesthetic, in turn, stems from Liège, the city where he grew up and whose history is shaped by coal mines and heavy industry.
The exhibition is accompanied by a curated selection of jewellery, music, artist books, prints and other works by Caroline Mesquita, Caroline Van Hoek, La Digue Records, Livres Rares Azade Libre, Delpire & Co and Ateliers Laissez-Passer.
