Patrick Van Caeckenbergh's 'Les Nébuleuses' at In Situ, Paris
The exhibition 'Les Nébuleuses' by Belgian artist Patrick Van Caeckenbergh is set to return to Paris at the In Situ gallery, which has recently reopened, from January 26 to March 2, 2002. This event coincides with a retrospective at the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht. Van Caeckenbergh's creations are inspired by figures such as Raymond Roussel, the Dada movement's Cabaret Voltaire, and elements of popular culture. A highlight of the exhibition is 'Le Dais – le ciel à la porté de tous,' a canopy from a Saint Cornelius procession, now displayed in the gallery. Other featured pieces include 'Saisonnier,' 'Landau,' and 'Estomac,' along with 'Bondieux,' large cauldrons that reference Lewis Carroll and Duchamp, encouraging viewers to delve into the complexity and humor of each work.
