Julie Legrand & Romain Rivière
Closing
Ends in 4 days: May 16 → June 22
This first event draws the viewer into a conversation between Julie Legrand and Romain Rivière, two artists whose recurrent explorations of certain specific themes and media result in an approach that borders on the serial, if not obsessional. The exhibition design is dense and powerful, creating a dialogue between the two different artistic worlds.

Xavier Theunis — Tout ça ne nous rendra pas le Congo
Past: March 16 → April 27
Backslash is delighted to welcome a first exhibition of work by Xavier Theunis, whose protean approach to the question of representation embraces a wide range of mediums. This preoccupation, which has from the outset been the focus of his work, is here addressed head-on though a series of simulacra, mises en abîme and a number of further reinterpretations.

Boris Tellegen, Delta — Surface
Past: September 13 → November 3, 2012
Backslash announces the first solo show by Dutch artist Boris Tellegen—better known by his Delta tag—to be held at the gallery. His installations or his wood and paper collages take the visitor on a journey into a constructed universe where the intersection between the real and the conceptual is anchored in a geometrical style based on reversed perspectives.

Rero — Eidolon
Past: May 12 → June 23, 2012
The confines of the gallery become a playground within which Rero expresses himself in exactly the same way as he does in other disused spaces. Backslash thus becomes the outlet for Rero’s self-expression, used to build installations of destruction. The idea of disused space is a constant throughout the experience the artist offers visitors.

Reversolidus — Charlotte Charbonnel
Past: March 17 → April 28, 2012
Charlotte Charbonnel is taking over the Backslash space to offer visitors an unsettling experience that constantly shakes up their senses. The sense of disorientation is given concrete form with installations that the artist arranges according to modes of expression closely tied into a form of lyricism. The artist subjects material, iron filings in particular, to multiple variations.

Frédéric Léglise — China Dolls Are Not Afraid of Pink
Past: September 10 → October 15, 2011
“Frédéric Léglise uses painting to render moods that are true, yet only semi-real. The transparent pink liquidity of the body invests the images with a ghostly and sentimental dimension. Bodies float and forms are revealed against a background that is almost always white, seemingly incomplete.” Jill Gasparina

Astrid Kruse Jensen — Parallel Realities
Past: June 9 → July 23, 2011
Astrid Kruse Jensen uses analogue photography to create settings that are controlled right down to the tiniest detail of space, light and colour. They are characterized by twilight landscapes, wooden houses looming in the darkness and a mood imbued with a sense of nostalgia. These elements form a vocabulary rooted in the imaginary play a dominant role.

Fahamu Pecou — Hard 2 Death
Past: April 30 → May 28, 2011
Fahamu Pecou is questioning the idea of the boundary between self-protection and self-destruction. Each series of work offers some sort of an answer: the recent trend for trousers worn below the hips, conflicting attitudes. The artist proffers his own definition of the permanent sense of violence felt by these young members of American society.

Mathilde Lavenne — Œuvres récentes
Past: March 19 → April 23, 2011
Mathilde Lavenne’s work centers on an introspection of history in general, and the history of Flanders in particular, a past that increasingly haunts her pieces the more she digs into it. The gentle rhythm of time passing by, the unhurried relationship between humans and nature emerge from the universe conjured up by the young artist.

Rero — Error 404 (lien manquant)
Past: February 12 → March 12, 2011
French artist Rero is using a series of breath-taking installations to transform the Backslash gallery space: reflecting his interactions with the urban environment, he turns the gallery into a street. A pile of damaged books discarded on the ground, a partially destroyed wall, the shadow of an advertising billboard reflected on the floor.

Luc Schuhmacher enregistre sa voix à l’aide d’un simple dictaphone. Phrase après phrase, mot après mot, les histoires se recomposent, se réinventent. Et la voix se mêle aux sentiments de l’auditoire qui se trouve alors perdu quelque part entre le réel et l’imaginaire. L’annonce du décès du père, une rencontre avortée dans un taxi…
