The exhibition "Zur Gesundheit" by Herman Van Ingelgem is extended to Sunday 8 February. Between 3PM and 6 PM you can visit a last time this exceptional exhibition on this day. Emiel Roothooft on the exhibition: That equivalence of phenomenon and epiphenomenon, I think that the use of fiberboard might have something to do with it. In figurative painting the background often allows for a clear distinction between the… let’s call it the ‘main image’ and the ‘side effect’ – so between the object and the shadow (as the most prominent pair). Because often it is a background that we know (air, wall, mountain…), or a background that creates the circumstances in which we know the objects, namely three-dimensionality. Here, neither is given: objects never appear against this background; the depth is there, but it is unreal – a shallow depth, as Clement Greenberg would have called it, or profondeur maigre, in Gilles Deleuze’s version
