Robert Miller Gallery is pleased to present ‘Avec le temps - In time'. Curated by Tim Goossens, this inter-generational exhibition will include nine contemporary artists who live and work in Belgium. A number of the artists included in this exhibition are either debuting in the United States or presenting installations created especially for the occasion.
The title of the exhibition is derived from a song by the late Leo Ferré, and the works included bear references to time: either in a formal time-based, performative way or in direct reference to history, nostalgia, memory, reproduction and a fading in time. Encompassing artists from both a newer generation and those that are internationally recognized, the exhibition aims to give an overview of the Belgian contemporary art scene of today. This flourishing scene capitalizes on the country's central location and its long history of artistic support to create a productive art center.
The exhibition consists of work by Fabrice Samyn, Pieter Vermeersch, Dirk Braeckman, Els Opsomer, Willem Oorebeek, Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Edith Dekyndt and Stephan Balleux. For the opening event on November 5, the Belgian musician Tim Van Hamel will perform in a debut collaboration with the visual artist Philip Metten. This performance, especially created for the exhibition, will use a sound costume with imbedded electronic pads and neon lights.
Opening Reception: November 5, 6-8pm
November 5 - December 23 in Robert Miller Gallery, 524 West 26th Street, NY 10001. Tuesday through Saturday, 10am-6pm.
