On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the Frans Masereel Centrum is reconnecting with an important tradition that goes back to a proposal by Jef Geys to publish a folder with work by four artists, for which he invited Marcel Broodthaers in 1972, among others.
Fifty years later, we invite four contemporary artists to develop brand new work in the specialized studios of the Frans Masereel Centrum. Hibernus#1 is the pilot edition of this new, biennial initiative, bringing together in 2022 work by Pélagie Gbaguidi, Emmanuelle Quertain, Océane Vallot and Joris Van de Moortel.
Each of their creations is conceived as an autonomous artistic project, with room for unforeseen developments and original ideas. Each of them resulting in in-depth proposals that emphatically start from an artistic urgency and a curiosity for that which does not yet exist.
The official presentation will take place during LEAF 2022 in Villa Empain (Brussels) on February 11th-13th 2022.
The works of art have been realized in a very limited edition and will be available in the bookshop from mid-February:
- Pélagie Gbaguidi: Hunger (1) and Hunger (2)
- Emmanuelle Quertain: La dilution du langage n°1-n°12 and EQSNC (Mail Order Catalog)
- Océane Vallot: Rubber Bands and Staples Climbing a Folder and Staples and Tacks Burying Rubber Band
- Joris Van de Moortel: 7 Spices for the Alghe•Mist Kitchen
