TEN WOMEN / DIX FEMMES / TIEN VROUWEN / ZEHN FRAUEN — PORTRAIT SERIES III
On the occasion of this new publication, the eponymous exhibition takes place at INBOX, MUHKA
August 31 — September 24, 2023
TEN WOMEN / DIX FEMMES / TIEN VROUWEN / ZEHN FRAUEN is the third stage of the portrait series by Kristien Daem. On the occasion of this new publication, the eponymous exhibition will take place at INBOX, MUHKA from 1 until 24 September 2023.
Kristien Daem embraces the tradition of portraiture in art and photography in an ongoing series on the representation of women in the art world. For this series she made portraits of women artists only, based in Brussels, from various generations working with different media and diverse genres. Among them Marianne Berenhaut, Rossella Biscotti, Sylvie Eyberg, Judith Geerts, Melissa Gordon, Hana Miletić, Marina Pinsky, Batsheva Ross, Birde Vanheerswynghels and Leen Voet. These women artists explore complex themes and make works that cannot be categorized and do not belong to a single aesthetic subject.
The portraits are placed within a quire including a list of works by the artists shown in the exhibition. The publication is designed in collaboration with Saskia Gevaert.
The exhibition is the “wall-floor” version of the publication: ten portraits of women artists are evenly spaced on the walls of the INBOX exhibition space, overlooking works by these artists arranged on ten white-painted panels centered on the floor. The works are brought together from different contexts, mixed up and placed together despite their lack of connection.
Portrait series I, II & III are available in the bookshop of the museum.
