Setting

The exhibition "Setting" at Damien & the Love Guru, Brussels, features works by Emeline Depas, Jef Geys, Hélène Fauquet, and Jacqueline Fraser. The show explores the concept of "setting" through arrangement and the situationalization of objects in new contexts. Processes of selection and reorganization are central, with artists drawing from diverse sources like literature, mass media, cinema, and natural elements.

Jef Geys's practice involves collection and open informational systems, positioning him as an editor of material. Jacqueline Fraser's work emerges from improvisational acts, drawing from film and diverse cultural references to create layered assemblages. Hélène Fauquet combines fact and fiction, using botanical photographs and found objects to explore imagined geographies. Emeline Depas works with found materials, creating structures that engage with sonic possibilities and reconfigure relational orders.
