21 October 2023 at 16:00

Galerie Greta Meert is delighted to announce that on Saturday the 21st of October at 4pm, it will be hosting the launch of the artist’s new book, From two thousand and sixteen to two thousand and twenty-three, published by Éditions Dilecta.

 

“Sweeping/revealing through the light a field of dust mixed with cosmic particles, cleaning/caressing the inert bodies of sculptures to bring them back to life, burying/exposing fabric in soil to extract from it aquatic archipelagos that seem to reflect the heavens…”

⏤ Taken from foreword by Emma Lavigne

 

This book is devoted to the artistic output of Edith Dekyndt, specifically to works made in the period from her major exhibition at WIELS in Brussels in 2016, to her exhibition conceived for the vitrines surrounding the rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce in Paris in 2023, a period corresponding to a new cycle in her output. It also contains a series of essays by Alexandra Bordes, Vinciane Despret, Tim Goossens, Léon Kruijswijk, Emma Lavigne, Dirk Snauwaert and Katja Schroeder.
