Avenue de Stalingrad 26, 1000 Brussels (B)

Alex Verhaest presents at Dauwens & Beernaert No myths for these countries of the mind, a comprehensive exhibition of four narrative audiovisual series.

The artist has been working in the experimental audiovisual and cinematic field since her debut in 2013. The exhibition shows a selection of a decade of work by the artist including the family drama: Temps Mort, The archive of unattained futures; a body of work that interrogates utopian tropes consisting reuniting silk screen print, closed circuit video and a video game, and Society the artist’s most recent short film. We invite you to discover her outlandish worlds and her consistently surprising ways of telling stories that matter.
