GéNéALOGIE TRICOTéE -A KNITTED PEDIGREE
Généalogie Tricotée- A Knitted Pedigree
Took place in auraclothesoflight in Brussels. The title of the exhibition refers to a family of handmade garments. They are related to one another yet very different. They fulfill different roles. Like family members. They complement and sometimes contradict each other. Each piece combines different forces and gives its wearer different insights. But ‘Généalogie Tricotée- A Knitted Pedigree’ is also an homage to craftsmanship. The attitude of the artisan that seems to be passed on by blood from grandmother to grandchild. Everyone does it differently but the attitude remains the same.
Blue bench session #2: dilemmas
Among the branches of the plane tree, a soft figure is bungling. Crafted from all kinds of materials: pieces of silver wire, local waste, wool, and branches. Leonora Quantum, as she likes to call herself, is hanging there with a message. The hybrid scarecrow-like creature takes us on a journey through the centuries, where local figures are consulting the plane tree with their dilemmas.
