Tatjana Pieters

We are delighted to invite you to ‘(1/1).10’, a group show with Philippe Van Snick and 10 artists he highly appreciates and with whom he has collaborated on several occasions. Van Snick has invited the artists to propose a work to which he responds with a work of his own. The curatorial format of ‘one on one times ten’ is based on the artists own practice and the prominent place of recurring elements such as the order of ten, duality and alliance. Coming from different generations and backgrounds, the selected artists share Van Snick’s conceptual and mathematical, yet spiritual and sensitive approach to nature and life. The exhibition shows a love for simple gestures and pure materials. With works ranging from the late ‘60s until now, ‘(1/1).10’ highlights the historic, contemporary and future relevance of this extensive oeuvre within a broader context.

Philippe Van Snick lives & works in Brussels (BE). In September he will open a duo exhibition with Daniel Steegmann Mangrané at MAM Rio, Rio de Janeiro (BR) and Casa Modernista, Sao Paulo (BR). Other upcoming shows are ‘The Corner Show’, Extra City, Antwerp (BE) and ‘The Gap’, curated by Luc Tuymans at the Parasol Unit, London (UK). In 2016 De Hallen Haarlem (NL) and Grazer Kunstverein, Graz (AT) will present a collaborative solo exhibition on different aspects of his practice.His work is part of amongst others, the collection of MoMA, New York (USA), Mu.ZEE, Ostend (BE), M HKA, Antwerp (BE), S.M.A.K., Ghent (BE), FRAC Nord Pas de Calais, Duinkerke (FR) and various private collections in Europe, USA and Latin America.
