Notes on Abstraction, a group exhibition at Maruani Mercier Brussels, features works created between 1967 and the present day by artists including Carl Andre, John Armleder, Lynda Benglis, Pam Glick, Peter Halley, Joseph Kosuth, Paul Mogensen, Louise Nevelson, Kenneth Noland, Georg Karl Pfahler, Niele Toroni, Stanley Whitney, and Sue Williams. The exhibition draws inspiration from Peter Halley's 1987 essay, which explored abstraction not as a purely formal pursuit, but as a mode of transition from the specific to the universal, relating individual experience to the socio-political context.
The exhibition examines the diverse landscape of contemporary abstraction, encompassing Minimalism's material and spatial logic, conceptual language, serial procedures, and modern disruptions of form. It presents abstraction as a series of ongoing questions concerning surface, structure, repetition, embodiment, and social relations, which are continually re-examined across different generations of artists.
