Modern is changing fig. 1

The work of Jan De Cock breathes modernism in and breathes modernism out. It cannot be detached from the tradition of modern art, nor does it claim to do anything other than what a work of modern art tries to do. De Cock has a keen eye, is aware of his position within the history of art, and while showing the greatest respect for earlier artists, nonetheless tries surreptitiously to surpass them.

The exhibition Modern is changing fig. 1 consists of four different spaces, each of which separately – and all of them together –constitutes a sculpture. Hanging in each space are different frames with photos and collages combined with different modules, sculptures of different sizes. Each of these outer frames has a different shape and reference. They contain photographs of artworks – including De Cock’s own work – and inspiring locations and images. The photo works act like film stills, with each one revealing a different possible approach to the installation. All this taken together forms a rhythmic whole that can be seen as a sculpture.

De opening zal op 7 maart van 17 tot 19 uur plaatsvinden.
