Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens is proud to present Karla Black’s first solo exhibition in Belgium, opening just before her participation at the 57th Venice Biennale this summer. The artist creates abstract sculptures, consisting of plaster, pigments and paper that she lays on the floor or hangs from the ceiling to create fragile but also sensual spatial experiences. The final result is not as important as the intuitive process of creating the work and its evolution following the creation entailed by the light in the room and the movements of the visitors surrounding the work. For her exhibition at MDD, Karla Black will create a new series of works involving the whole museum area, allowing her to leverage the intense play of light in the exhibition space.
