ARCHIVED

Peter Downsbrough / Artists and Photographs

9th October until 6th December 2009

  • Location: Musée de Louvain-la-Neuve
    Place Blaise Pascal 1, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve
  • The double exhibition Peter Downsbrough / Artists and Photographs discloses the manifold relationships that exist between photography and the book in contemporary visual art. Peter Downsbrough is an American artist often situated in the realms of Minimal and Conceptual Art. With a reduced visual vocabulary (lines and words) Downsbrough creates a dialogue in various fields and media such as sculpture, architecture, photography, film or the book. The exhibition at the Musée de Louvain-la-Neuve takes us into the visual interplay between two and three-dimensional space, between real and virtual space. The other part of the exhibition presents the multiple Artists and Photographs. This box - a veritable portable museum - published in 1970 by Marian Goodman in New York, contains work by nineteen of the most important artists of Pop Art, Minimal Art, Conceptual Art and Land Art such as Sol LeWitt, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol, Robert Morris, Robert Smithson, and Bruce Nauman.
  • Curator: Alexander Streitberger

“Low Countries Photography”

Brighton University Gallery

17th of March till 14th of May 2008

Curatorial team:
David Green (Brighton Univ.)
Jan Baetens (KULeuven, LGC)
Christoph Ruys (PhotoMuseum Antwerp)
Frits Gierstberg (NFI Rotterdam)

Global presentation of the exibition

The exhibition will bring together a representative body of eight Dutch and Belgian photographers, whose work is, first of all, outstanding and, second but not least, characteristic of the type of photography produced in the Low Countries. With this exhibition, we do not only want to offer the British public an overview of the best that is being made today in these countries (and this best is, given the peripheral situation of these relatively small countries, hardly known abroad, except for the usual exceptions), but also to raise a more general question which used to be very crucial in the seventies and the eighties (in the years that photography was being institutionalized), but which has been quite overlooked the last decade: is there any relationship between the kind of photography an artist is making and the national context in which he or she is (inevitably) working in. By “national context”, we do not mean of course to defend an essentializing of transhistorical definition of what is meant by things like “Belgian culture”, “Dutch culture”, or whatsoever. Instead, by “national context” we refer to things like: cultural heritage, institutions, traditions, audience response, publication policy, recurrent forms and themes, self-definition in an international context. The major aim of the exhibition, besides of course the fact that we want to show authors and works of excellence too little known in Britain, is to put this type of questions on the agenda, and to see whether they may be interesting and fruitful also for a discussion on British artists. Given the double focus of the exhibition (artistic on the one hand, critical on the other hand), it will be completed by a catalogue and a series of events (a symposium and a workshop or master class) that will offer a better contextualization of the selected artists.
