Edith Dekyndt : Erzähl uns etwas, das niemand weiß

The Belgian artist Edith Dekyndt (b. Ypres, Belgium, 1960; lives and works in Brussels) trains her attention on the forces quietly at work in our ever more rapidly changing world. She adopts objects, images, and sounds from everyday life or nature and performs interventions that set transformations in motion. Physical and chemical process result in painterly and sculptural qualities and, eventually, in a kind of beauty that rests on fragility as much as brutality, allure as much as destruction. The works are complemented by dedicated performances in which the archaic and the contemporary communicate.

Released on occasion of Edith Dekyndt’s first comprehensive institutional solo exhibition in Germany, the catalogue Tell Us Something That Nobody Knows presents an in-depth survey of her oeuvre featuring over sixty works. With an introduction by Christina Végh and an essay by Rodney LaTourelle. (bron: website uitgever)
