Jahrmarkt der schönen Dinge
The exhibition "Jahrmarkt der schönen Dinge" at nadine, Brussels, features the work of Axel Claes. Claes creates books, and the exhibition explores the tension between these books and accompanying "pictures on the wall." Text is used sparingly, suggesting an interruption or absence of the traditional relationship between words and images.
Drawings and collages are presented in a manner that makes them accessible in new ways, forming sequences. The installation also incorporates video, film, and performance elements.
