The HYPOKEIMENON, en Dessous du Sang group exhibition at Brussels’ GNF Gallery opened April 21 and ran to May 20.
The show included work by Nils Alix-Tabeling, Aline Bouvy, Jude Crilly, Emeline Depas, Nicolas Deshayes, Justin Fitzpatrick, Anna Hulacova, Motoko Ishibashi, Rebecca Jagoe and Birgit Jürgenssen. The mixed-media installation brought together wandering ideas and ‘appendages’ that communicate between each other in the space, embodying the “sculptural equivalent of a blood transfusion in a vampire film, sometime curse, sometime corporeal jouissance, but always a void awaiting to be filled.”
Responding to the space and internal structure of the building itself, the works explore states of lust and belief, described in the press release as “constructed by the desire that birthed it, forever in a state of restructuring: communicating vessels, pouring into one another.”**
