A visit of Axel Vervoordt Gallery
Discover the unique site of Axel Vervoordt Gallery and enjoy a guided tour of Peter Buggenhout’s exhibition I am the Tablet.
Set alongside a canal, a converted 19th-century distillery hosts the gallery spaces as well as permanent installations by Anish Kapoor and James Turell.
Join us on September 2 at Axel Vervoordt Gallery for the last day of Peter Buggenhout’s exhibition I am the Tablet and for an exclusive visit of Kanaal the site that hosts the gallery as well as permanent installations by Anish Kapoor and James Turrell.
Consisting of dilapidated or abject materials, the sculptures presented in Peter Buggenhout’s exhibition turn away from any narrative, despite resources with a certain past, or constructions with a certain amorphous recognition. The sculptures appear to be turned inside out; raw and dismantled, repulsive and appealing, bearing a frail and uncomfortable beauty.
Don’t miss on this opportunity to visit Peter Buggenhout’s exhibition I am the Tablet and to discover the unique Axel Vervoordt Gallery complex.
About Peter Buggenhout
Peter Buggenhout’s unpolished sculptures evoke images of chaos and disorder, of abandoned ruins and archeological findings from a different era. His oeuvre, in which he focuses on the use of abject materials, such as debris, industrial waste, horsehair, blood, intestines and household dust, contains both enormous installations and smaller works that are often presented on pedestals or vitrines.
About Axel Vervoordt Gallery
Axel Vervoordt Gallery was founded in 2011 in Antwerp, Belgium. The gallery initially emerged with a focus on ZERO, Gutai, and Dansaekhwa, and subsequently evolved into rediscoveries in post-war and avant-garde art movements. As a strong supporter of these art movements from its inception, the gallery’s vision has gradually expanded into contemporary art with artists whose work share similar conceptual interests.
