MER. Books and Convent invite you to the book launch and exhibition of Cut Down Build Up, a book blending Art & Architecture by Dimitri Vangrunderbeek, Thierry Lagrange and Hans Demeulenaere.
We welcome you to join us for a wonderful evening, in the presence of the artists and architect, at the contemporary art space CONVENT, on the 15th of November from 20:00 to 22:00.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Cut Down Build Up explores a creative process between two visual artists and an architect, focusing on the relation between abstraction and architecture. Rather than taking a traditional academic approach, these three creators engage in an iterative process of anticipation, reaction, and creation.
They exchange ideas and works, leading to three unique explorative and productive dialogues.
Abstraction, a common concept in visual arts, is less frequently associated with architecture. The interactions between the artists (Dimitri Vangrunderbeek and Hans Demeulenaere) and the architect (Thierry Lagrange) result in new spatial insights and deepen the understanding of abstraction. These insights are embedded in the creations themselves and in the dynamic exchanges between the participants.
The book and its dialogues are an invitation towards the viewer to fully experience and appreciate the handling of abstraction within the context of architecture and visual arts.
