Regenerate

Regenerate presents recent work made by artists in Belgium (with occasional sorties across bubbles and borders). Whether explicitly or indirectly, the selected works enact the revitalisation that art can offer. Focusing on recent productions, the project explores what has emerged from this period of unpredictability and seclusion, and how the pandemic and its ongoing impact are shaping our imaginaries.

6 degrees at Liebart Projects

re-opens this Sunday, March 7 - and is open every Sunday until end of March from 11 - 6 pm
Liebaert Projects, Minister Liebaertlaan 1B, 8500 Kortrijk
Ballon Rouge is excited to announce '6 Degrees' at Liebaert Projects in Kortrijk, Belgium. 

In the spirit of camaraderie and collective action, Brussels-based galleries (Harlan Levey Projects, Super Dakota, Ballon Rouge, Walburger Wouters, and Stems) present an encounter between a diverse range of contemporary artists.

6 Degrees of separation is the idea that all people are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. The phrase was coined in the early part of the 20th century - a thesis made because of technological advances in communication and travel.  

The exhibition explores questions central to contemporary society and civic rights, revealing the threads and links that are created and that connect the core of contemporary art today. For all participating artists it will be their first exhibition in Kortrijk, Belgium.

Sunday, March 7 - Thursday, March 11, 2021

Baby, I’m not even here. I’m a hallucination.

The exhibition is self-referential in that we see these disembodied eyes and their foggy, coiled vision making a hallucinatory reality in itself, representative of a kind of cognitive dissonance or a dissociation from one's personal reality. Meanwhile, the allegories come from a deeper reading of the embedded meanings seen through the lens of our current lives and world. Who is being looked at by whom, what conclusions are being drawn? What is reality? Whose reality are we living?

Future tense of the past

NOKUKHANYA LANGA | ALMUDENA LOBERA | ELLEN PIL
In ‘Future Tense of the Past’ Ellen Pil, Nokukhanya Langa and Almudena Lobera illustrate in an intriguing way the possibility of imagining and creating a new reality with building blocks from the past and present. With works that linger in the folds of time and connect the analogue with the digital, figuration with abstraction, the artists travel through space and time, postulating ever evolving possible and probable pasts, presents and futures.
