TheMerode Art Salon: Meet the artists

Join us for the guided tour of TheMerode Art salon’s new exhibition followed by an intimate conversation with artists Peggy Franck and Marijke De Roover.

After the successful first edition curated by Italian curator Daniella Ferretti, we are thrilled to announce the new exhibition of TheMerode Art Salon. Christian Mooney, Director of Arcade, London, brings fresh perspectives with two dynamic exhibitions, showcasing works by Clive Hodgson, Alcides Pereira dos Santos and Matthias Dornfeld and by Marijke De Roover and Peggy Franck.

Join us on April 4th for a guided tour in the presence of curator Christian Mooney and artists Marijke De Roover and Peggy Franck, followed by a conversation delving deeper into the fascinating worlds of Franck and De Roover. 

Explore their unique processes, from Franck's analog nostalgia to De Roover's digital performance art and discover how they navigate the complex relationship between self-portraiture and the omnipresent gaze of the camera.

An opportunity not to be missed!


speaker

Peggy Franck is known for her spatial investigations that combine photography, painting and site-specific installations. Franck’s characteristic brushstrokes represent the result of a longer and less visible process, as these function as gestures and visualisations of the artist’s inner world, arranging themselves on paper, wood, objects and walls, giving the impression of being alive, in constant dialogue and movement.

speaker

Marijke De Roover

Marijke De Roover is a part-time professional karaoke singer and meme connoisseur, yet currently known mostly for her queer/feminist performance work. In her artworks, she deals with questions regarding the nuclear family, feminism/motherhood, ethics of reproduction, and love, romance and compulsory heteronormativity under late capitalism.
