POLITICAL PATTERNS

Juliette Vanwaterloo & Nathan Vandenberghe

Opening Sunday November 3, 2-7pm

Exhibition from November 3 to 30, 2024 Curator Yuna Mathieu-Chovet

Juliette Vanwaterloo’s artistic practice unfolds through textile mediums such as tufting, lace and embroidery. She invests these ancestral practices to depict the crises of our contemporary world and its intersectional struggles. In so doing, she highlights political, feminist and ecological issues.

Nathan Vandenberghe creates drawings and sculptures. He deconstructs the relationship between structure and decoration. He is interested in the historical framework of these patterns, addressing the political themes of the construction of power and decolonial history.

Juliette Vanwaterloo & Nathan Vandenberghe’s works share a common political objective: to understand and depict our contemporary world, and in particular the construction of power relationships and issues. To address these questions, the two artists use or refer to objects from the vernacular, decoration or domestic use.
