theme
since the beginning of the 20th century, the word has appeared in the visual arts. influenced by industrialization and automation on the one hand, and delegation and interpretation on the other hand, the word and technology were starting to be linked in the classic and new media. the exhibition therefore examines how the word and the concept serve the image and the imagination. under the influence of structuralist and deconstructivist ideas on the one hand and conceptual practice on the other hand, the classic dichotomy between the visible and the sayable is abolished and the border between the material and the immaterial is blurred. the exhibition therefore explores the ways in which the word and the concept are translated into a sensory image - between hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch,

format
the format of the exhibition was inspired by the proto-conceptual artist robert barry who, in 1969, invited visitors to contemplate the empty spatio-temporal plane of the exhibition under the title "during the exhibition, the gallery will be closed ”. just as the “shopping” exhibition by curator jérôme sans took over the windows of new york stores in the 1990s, special attention is paid to the place de la société dans la rue, where four local artists are invited to exhibit in the window and on the facade from september to december.

during the month of september, claire andrzejcak, artist who will exhibit during this month on the facade, will be in residence at société. the four artists who will exhibit on the facade from september to december, claire andrzejcak, beatrice balcou, steve van den bosch and sarah smolders, are doing a group exhibition in the galleries.
