"All Together Now..."

13.01.07 - 10.03.07

RONMANDOS is pleased to present a second solo show by one of Belgium’s most successful artists, Hans Op de Beeck (°1969, Turnhout). An opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 13, 4-7 pm. The artist will be present.
Having long plunged himself into the many facets of alienation and absurdity of past rampant post-modern urban existence, the artist now turns his attention to the interior. For the exhibition “All together now...” Hans Op de Beeck has created a collection of works that use the family and domestic surroundings as bearers of meaning.
What does a deserted table say about the gathering that has just taken place? How does a child remind himself of a row at a family party? What can be read between the lines of cleanliness and propriety? To what extent are we all attached to domestic objects? When does a banal everyday object become the silent witness to a domestic drama?
The exposition has been extended for 3 weeks, closing now on Saturday the 10th of March.
