Jan Vercruysse: The Presence of Absence

The exhibition features a group of works produced between the 1980s to 2002, dialoguing directly with the gallery’s physical spaces, offer a very precise summary of Vercruysse’s artistic vision. The exhibition’s central piece is “La Sfera”, first presented at the Venice Biennale in 1993, a large bronze sculpture in the shape of a tortoise trying to climb onto a sphere: a perfect balance of conceptual certainty and aesthetic ambiguity.
