Comunicato stampa
The Flemish
Minister for Environment, Nature and Culture, Joke Schauvliege, has
nominated Berlinde De Bruyckere to represent Belgium at the 55th
Venice Biennale in 2013.
Berlinde De
Bruyckere (°1964, Ghent) lives and works in Ghent. In February 2010, she
received the Flemish Culture Prize 2009 for Visual Arts. De Bruyckere's
sculptures, installations and drawings set out to embody the world's great
stories. The forms and materials she uses are consistently selected for their
metaphorical power. For several years now, she has been constructing a highly
personal vocabulary, in which a refined vision of the melancholy relationship
with the world and the things in it has gradually risen to the surface.
De Bruyckere can
count on a growing international interest. An exhibition putting her work in
dialogue with the work of the deceased artist Philippe Vandenbergh is currently
running at Museum De Pont in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Last week, she presented
her work within a dance performance, a coproduction with Romeu Runa, at the St
James's Church Southwood Garden, London. Last summer, the Australian Centre for
Contemporary Art in Melbourne showed an impressive exhibition of her work. Next
autumn, De Bruyckere will show her work in Beijing, China.
