One Space, Two Shows, 307 Artists, and 400 Pieces. From the Frederic de Goldschmidt Collection

Summary

Full House examines two distinct exhibitions held five years apart in the same Brussels building, showcasing over 300 contemporary artworks from Frédéric de Goldschmidt's esteemed collection. The first, Not Really Really (2016), presented sculptures crafted from everyday items that blurred the line between remnants of a former mental health clinic occupant and deliberate artistic creation. After a significant renovation, the second show, Inaspettatamente (Unexpectedly), delved into concepts of order, disorder, time, and artistry, inspired by the Arte Povera figure Alighiero Boetti. Rich curatorial insights and images enhance the exploration of both exhibitions.

Description

A study of two exhibitions that took place five years apart in the same building in Brussels city-centre

Full House explores two exhibitions that took place five years apart in the same building in Brussels and featured over 300 contemporary artworks from the renowned collection of Frédéric de Goldschmidt.

The first show, Not Really Really, was organised in 2016 in a building that had only been vacated a few months before by a mental health clinic. The works were mostly sculptures made with everyday objects and played with the ambiguity of what the last occupants could have left and what the artists purposefully created.

The building then underwent a long renovation, with photos included illustrating this process. The second show, Inaspettatamente (Unexpectedly), engaged with themes such as order and disorder, time, classification, the artist’s process or his/her position in world conflicts, using the prism of the famous Arte Povera artist Alighiero Boetti.

Curatorial texts and images of the works both in context and in studio allow the reader to discover and appreciate both exhibitions.
