Sanguine / Bloedrood

    NLENFR

    During the cultural city festival Antwerp Baroque 2018. Rubens Inspires, the M HKA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, juxtaposes the spirit of the baroque masters with the vision of contemporary top artists. With the exhibition Sanguine/Bloedrood (Blood Red), curator Luc Tuymans aims to overwhelm the visitor by placing key works from the baroque of, among others, Francisco de Zurbarán and Caravaggio, in dialogue with works by classical contemporary masters, such as On Kawara and Edward Kienholz, as well as new works by contemporary stars such as Zhang Enli, Takashi Murakami, Michaël Borremans, Sigmar Polke and Tobias Rheberger.

    David Gheron Tretiakoff (b. 1970) is a French filmmaker and visual artist who often focuses on contemporary political and social developments in the Middle East. As a researcher he does not reveal any journalistic truths, but rather evokes feelings of aversion. He not only exposes the psychological consequences of national oppression and international terrorism, but also reveals the almost impossible habituation that accompanies it. To achieve this, Tretiakoff confronts the viewer with a poignant discomfort.
