TICK TACK is excited to announce AUTOPOIESIS, the inaugural Belgian solo exhibition of the renowned Amsterdam artist collective Metahaven. 

Autopoiesis, a concept introduced in 1972 by the Chilean evolutionary biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, describes the notion of “self-creation.” The exhibition encompasses films and tactile textile works, highlighting a constant interconnectedness between cognition and feeling.
By combining digital aesthetics with weaving and embroidery, narrative and craftspersonship, the textile works—some of which were made especially for the exhibition—challenge boundaries between the virtual and the tangible, between modes of experience, whilst the film works provide their cinematic timebase.

ABOUT METAHAVEN
