Openingsweekend: Ben Thorp Brown & Curatorial Studies

Friday May 26, we open with two new exhibitions. Ben Thorp Brown shows an installation of trees, plants and sculptures surrounded by a cloud of fog in our courtyard. Curatorial Studies by KASK & Conservatory presents a group of international artists whose work addresses the embodied complexity of tradition.

BEN THORP BROWN x JAN MINNE — 'CURA'S GARDEN'

26.05.23 — ∞

With 'Cura's Garden' by Ben Thorp Brown, the courtyard of Kunsthal Gent becomes part of the Endless Exhibition.Together with Jan Minne, Brown designed a utopian yet foreboding landscape. Tropical and other carefully chosen trees and plants are enveloped by a fog sculpture, 'Embrace'. The cloud of mist elevates elevates the everyday into a cinematic environment. At the centre of the garden is a ceramic sculpture, 'Fountain (After Cura)'. The sculpture represents a human form emerging from clay and water.

CURATORIAL STUDIES — 'DANCING FORWARD, LOOKING BACKWARD'

26.05.23 — 25.06.23

'Dancing Forward, Looking Backward' by Curatorial Studies (KASK & Conservatory) presents a group of international artists whose work addresses the embodied complexity of tradition. Traditions exist in many forms and have different meanings for each of us. They are revived through our bodies as sources of shared wisdom, but we also carry them within us as limiting and oppressive forces. This ambiguity raises many questions.
