ART APPRECIATION ACTIVITY
Rinus Van de Velde Inner Travels
We will meet on 28 APRIL 2022 at 10:45 (the visit starts at 11:00) in the entrance hall of Bozar to visit the exhibition
We will not have a guided visit as there is a visitor’s guide available in three languages.
Price: €15 for seniors, free with a museum pass
Please inform me as soon as possible (before 20 April) if you are coming. For reservation call: Ingeborg Pagni: 02 354 74 50 or 0478 231 444 or send an email: ingeborgpagni@hotmail.com
I suggest getting your ticket online or on the day of the visit as I am not sure to have enough participants for a group ticket. If you have a Museum Pass the entrance is free, but you still have to get a ticket by presenting your museum pass at the ticket counter.
Those who are free will join the group after the visit for lunch at a nearby restaurant.
More about the Women's International Club of Brussels (WIC)
________
Rinus Van de Velde, born in 1983 in Leuven, is a Belgian visual artist. He lives and works in Antwerp and is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. Originally, a sculptor, he gradually abandoned this medium to devote himself to drawing, first in colour, then in black and white, with charcoal. His huge works are exhibited in Europe and the United States and are often quite narrative, and accompanied by short texts.
Through diverse media ranging from drawings to sculptures, installations and film, Rinus Van de Velde creates a mirror universe where elements from reality and imagination coalesce into a unique kind of visual storytelling. A self-proclaimed armchair voyager, Van de Velde often narrates tales of semi-heroic quests and adventures articulated around his imaginary travels and his fictitious encounters with figures of recent art history.
In the framework of this exhibition, centred on a circular story of leaving and returning home with the train as a metaphor for the journey, Van de Velde premieres his new film and presents a survey of primarily recent works. Parallel to this, he brings together and reframes a selection of works by modern and contemporary artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Joseph Cornell, Fischli/Weiss, Joan Mitchell, Claude Monet, Monster Chetwynd Laure Prouvost, Josephine Troller and Jean Tinguely, among others.
An open invitation to join the artist on his 'inner travels', the exhibition is a visual journey of discovery that offers a glimpse inside the constructed world of Rinus Van de Velde that is ever-expanding.
