‘Warmly’, met Veronika Babayan, Natacha Mankowski en Natsuko
Uchino. Curator: Florence Parot.#sculpture #installation #mixedmedia(Pelgrimstraat 5c, 3029 BH)
‘Warmly’ aims to spotlight the crux between art and craftsmanship, knowledge and know-how, intuitive and analytical, material and conceptual. The imaginaries of painting, textile, organic matter, and cooking are brought together as the core of this presentation by three female artists who share the visceral energy to dig deeper into their research process and the political dimension of making. While each artist have their own walls, the floor is an invitation for them to collectively sculpt a common ground with raw materials inherent to each of their practices. They weave a communal path towards multiplicious worlds, where their respective approaches to their materials are joined into a greater shared narrative about identity, labour, ecology, and embodiment. As referred to in the title ‘Warmly’, the attention of this showcase is directed towards the ways in which each artist uses heating, drying and cooking to transform organic matter. Process oriented practice is, therefore, the focal point and it is approached through the lens of ecofeminism.
