Issue Date: | 2024 | Abstract: | The Group -show concerns the relationship between Italian and Duch artists and the concept of ruins, into the beautiful Kadoc Chapel in Leuven. Artists: Riccardo Arena, Giovanna Caimmi, Franco Guerzoni and Eva Maresaldi Patrick Ceyssens, Peter de Cupere, Tom Lambeens, Griet Moors, Dominique Somers, Aline Verstraten | Keywords: | Expo;italian artists;flemish artist;ruins;architectural ruins | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/44553 | Link to publication/dataset: | kadoc Chapel | Discipline: | design en architectuur | Research Context: | The starting point of this series is an artistic confrontation between artists/theorists from Belgium and Italy and the various visual and content layers in old buildings. These spaces are always exceptional architectural invitations for artistic encounters. Furthermore, all buildings have a very long and turbulent history. The result is many visual remnants of different events in time. They are pictorial ruins. Frozen in various moments. What can be read in the visual history? How can semiotic additions and iconographic investigations lead to new insights? It is the blend of these different remnants in time that inspires the artistic response of the artists and theoretical reflection. What Remains? - That every memory in an image immediately becomes our memory. The artists revisit, project, and commemorate. - Transience as a new beginning, ‘what remains’ as a driving force, a new desire. -That art will always be a way of thinking. By adding symbols, asso ciations, and metaphors arising from being human as an artist in this world. In these places. -That even a new connectedness and readability of the place emerges between the links of the various artistic interventions. - That the search behind reality, dwelling in the difficult to articulate, ignites great empathy and originality. - “One of the deepest concerns that distinguishes humans from animals may well be their desperate search for something ‘that remains’... Is it because of our highly developed memory, our vivid imagination, our relentless intellect, or our almost boundless capacity for boredom?” (Patricia De Martelaere, essay What Remains) | Impact Description: | The expo had a good impact, and the possibility to work with the amazing archive of Kadoc KuLeuve produced interesting site-specific artworks based on the materials of the archive. | Related Info: | Academy of fine Arts of Bologna, KU Leuven, Kadoc, PXL-MAD UHasselt | Category: | AOR | Type: | Artistic/designerly creation |
