Domesticated Souls

Brussels

Artists of the last few generations have been brought up with digital images, fast sequences of computer- or television pictures and busy street traffic in the metropolis all over. They are inured to the possibilities of the internet and the overwhelming access to images and moving pictures. At the same time the longing for a life close to nature and greenery is striking the mind. All these experiences become obvious in some artistic practices. Thus, Alice gallery currently shows an array of different approaches to dealing with modern viewing habits in our domesticated environments.

The theme of a ‘domesticated or wild’ nature in our living environment responds to a need to get back in touch with ourselves, like a search of an equilibrium between mankind and society in our occidental cities.

The selected artists are: Clare Rojas, Guy Yanai, Francesco Deiana, Olivier Kosta Théfaine, Pica pica, Mike Swaney, Maya Hayuk, Huskmitnavn, Samuel François, Paul Wackers, Sophie d’Ansembourg, Claire Decet and Chris Duncan.
