Kristien Daem – Ten Women / Dix Femmes / Tien Vrouwen / Zehn Frauen – Portrait series III
1-24 Sep 2023
TEN WOMEN / DIX FEMMES / TIEN VROUWEN / ZEHN FRAUEN is the third stage of the portrait series by Kristien Daem. On the occasion of this new publication, the eponymous exhibition will take place at INBOX from 31 August 2023 until 24 September 2023.
Kristien Daem embraces the tradition of portraiture in art and photography in an ongoing series on the representation of women in the art world. For this series she made portraits of women artists only, based in Brussels, from various generations working with different media and diverse genres. The women artists explore complex themes and make works that cannot be categorized and do not belong to a single aesthetic subject.
The portraits are placed within a quire including a list of works by the artists shown in the exhibition.
The publication is designed in collaboration with Saskia Gevaert.
The exhibition is the “wall-floor” version of the publication: ten portraits of women artists are evenly spaced on the walls of the INBOX exhibition space, overlooking works by these artists arranged on ten white-painted panels centered on the floor. The works are brought together from different contexts, mixed up and placed together despite their lack of connection.
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the collaboration of Marianne Berenhaut, Rossella Biscotti, Sylvie Eyberg, Judith Geerts, Melissa Gordon, Hana Miletić, Marina Pinsky, Batsheva Ross, Birde Vanheerswynghels, Leen Voet and Liliane Dewachter for INBOX, MUHKA.
Portrait series I, II & III are available in the bookshop of the museum.
The preview will take place 31 August from 7 to 9 pm.
With INBOX M HKA reserves the fifthe floor of the museum for surprising interventions and intimate pop-up presentations.
