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.

    Hommage à ...III (from a series of 5 Hommages from 1972) is one of the first filmed works by Lili Dujourie. It takes place during the experimental stage of video art, when video recording technology was still in its infancy. The work is recorded in real time, without additional montage work, and shows a space that unfolds over time and a character who remains bound to this space. Sensuality, the passage of time and boredom all feature in her video work. In this video the model – Dujourie herself – plays not only the role of object, but is also the subject of the work; she fuses into artist and viewer, throughout the entire process Dujourie literally monitors herself. Also see Hommage à …1.
