There is somethin

“There is something peculiar about the times we live in, and with them, a different expectation of the artist's role. When the structure of a society collapses, when politicians and media have lost credit and terror invades daily life, society turns toward culture in pursuit of answers. The painter is expected to look at its reality without any filters…Yet, is the artist able to assume those roles from a moral, intellectual, and emotional point of view?’’ (Francis Alys on Artforum @artforum ,2017). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Artist Francis Alys and curator Hilde Teerlinck have been selected to represent Belgium at the upcoming 2022 Venice Biennale. We are thrilled by the news, being @francis alys official an artist whom we really appreciate and @hildeteerlinck a part of the LOOP family for many years.
