OPENING - THE OMISSIONS

Information on the activity

October 3, 2024 | 17 H 30

In association with Volume 7 MTL.

“The Omissions are those missing pieces subtracted from history, the voluntary or involuntary gaps, the voids, the holes in official stories. But they are also the suppressions we impose upon ourselves: everything we keep quiet about, everything we prevent from happening.

This project outlines a fragmentary portrait [of a.]; a fictional artist, a montage composed of voices, images, and documents gathered over the course of correspondences and residencies in documentation centres - at La Chambre blanche (2016), and at Artexte (2018-2019) … I asked myself if it was possible to describe a history of art that is not about success or productivity, but rather one that is found in the gaps of these documents, in what is left unsaid.” - Céline Huyghebaert

Join Artexte on Thursday, October 3, 2024, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., for the opening of “The Omissions,” an exhibition curated by Céline Huyghebaert. Confirm your presence at the opening on Facebook.
