Daniel Turner / Compresseur ‘‘The basis of my practice is archaeological. When I speak about my working process, I speak in terms of ‘mining’ because, in a sense, I’m working as an amateur miner: sourcing materials, sifting for materials, and extracting materials.” For his first museum exhibition in Belgium, Daniel Turner has turned to a highly charged site: the former Forest Prison (Prison de Forest - 1910-2022).

« The strength of « Le Banquet » lies in offering scenes that recall moments that we have all experienced during professional or even family meals where people end up listening to themselves speak more than they listen to others. » - Mathias Desbonnets « Le Banquet » is a performance by Ariana Loze, produced on 6 October 2024 at MACS, on the occasion of her exhibition « L’Archipel de moi ». #arianeloze #performance #events #art #museum #menu #banquet #selflove #video #grandhornu @arianeloze

Orla Barry « L’art visuel d’Orla Barry, principalement basé sur ses textes, est indissociablement lié aux endroits où elle vit et aux liens étroits qu’elle entretient avec les personnes qui l’entourent. Cette relation est encore plus présente ces dernières années que dans ses œuvres précédentes. Sa bergerie, la relation entre l’homme, les animaux et la nature, produisent une œuvre riche et variée qui pose de passionnantes questions sur la valeur et l’essence de la vie. » ‘Orla’s visual work, often based on her texts, is inextricably linked with where she lives and her close ties to the people surrounding her. In recent years, this connection has become even more present. Her sheep farm, the relationship there between people, animals and nature, produces a rich and varied oeuvre that poses fascinating questions about the value and essence of life.’ Eva Wittocx Extract from the catalogue #orlabarry #wood #sheep #irelandartist #citation #story #contemporaryart @o_o_o_r_l_a @eva.wittocx

« Dans ce milieu masculin, Orla Barry fait figure néanmoins de rebelle, refusant d’être « genrisée » par ses pairs, tout en confessant assumer aussi sa féminité : « Je ne suis pas une femme dans cet endroit, écrit-elle. Je suis… je suis une personne qui est... qui, vous savez, effectue un certain travail qui doit être fait. » ‘In the highly masculine agricultural milieu, Barry cuts a rebellious figure, refusing to be reduced to her gender by her peers at the same time as taking pride in her status as a woman: ‘I’m not a woman in that place,’ she writes. ‘I’m… I’m somebody who is… who is, you know, dealing with a certain job to be done.’ Denis Gielen Extract from the catalogue preface « The Shepherd’s Progress » #artbook #orlabarry #citation #berger #laine #contemporaryart #grandhornu #wallonie @o_o_o_r_l_a

Orla Barry's exhibition | As an artist and a shepherd, Orla Barry is between fields. From her daily life in the «world of sheep», she has learned her agricultural trade at the same time as pursuing her artistic practice. Her hybrid status as an artist-shepherd is expressed in her work through the materials (raw wool, felt), objects (crooks) and situations (auctions, pedigree competitions) that she borrows straight from her rural environment. #orlabarry #bergere #shepherd #irelandartist #sheep #grandhornu #wallonie #museum @o_o_o_r_l_a

Catalogue | ORLA BARRY - Conceived and designed in close collaboration with Orla Barry on the occasion of her exhibition at the MACS, "The Shepherd’s Progress" brings together a large part of the body of work (texts, installations, performances) produced by the artist since she returned to live in her native Ireland. The book attests to the links Orla Barry has forged between her career as an artist and her career as a shepherd. Its form pays tribute to the book Eva Hesse by Lucy Lippard (New York University Press, 1976) – borrowing its exact dimensions and form – which has been a source of inspiration for Barry throughout her artistic life. ► Publishers: MACS ► Authors: Orla Barry, Sebastian Cichocki, Ciara Healy Eva Wittocx, Denis Gielen ► Languages: Bilingual French-English #orlabarry #shephred #artbook #artshop #stories #graphism #grandhornu #books @o_o_o_r_l_a @eva.wittocx @sebastian.cichocki @kim.beirnaert

Catalogue | ARIANE LOZE - The first monograph devoted to the work of Belgian artist Ariane Loze, this catalogue is published in conjunction with her first solo exhibition but goes beyond the framework of the show to look at her broader practice, past and present. The catalogue explores Loze’s work by focusing on 26 of the videos (to date, Ariane Loze has made 47 video works) made by the artist between 2008 and the present day. Offering a variety of interpretations of the situations that Loze imagines, writes, interprets, directs and then films, this book attempts to give a wider vision of her rich oeuvre: images, synopsis and dialogues from the films are presented alongside several essays that situate her work in the panorama of contemporary art. ► Publishers: MACS, MER. Borgerhoff & Lamberigts ► Authors: Charlotte Crevits, Florian Gaité, Denis Gielen, Katerina Gregos ► Languages: Bilingual French-English (Interviews in French, English and Dutch) #Catalogue #artcatalogues #video #filmaker #arianeloze #monograph #artshop #arthistory @arianeloze @merbooks.studiolucderycke @floriangaite @crevitscharlotte @katerina.gregos

In her mesmerizing films, Loze creates stories from seemingly unrelated images, taking on every role—actress, director, and camerawoman—and challenges viewers to craft their own narratives through the art of editing. The interaction between characters, architecture, and cinematic techniques makes her work a truly captivating experience. 🎞️ Released alongside her retrospective exhibition at MACS Grand Hornu Museum, this catalog offers a rare glimpse into the genesis of her artistic practice.
