Condition Report

CONDITION REPORT is a group exhibition that brings together a selection of pieces from the Jeanne and Charles Vandenhove Collection with the works of invited artists. It is an attempt to reactivate the collection, reinterpreting its meaning and revisiting its logic. The studio in the
VANDENHOVE Center becomes the setting for these dialectic approaches of both established and emerging artists.

CONDITION REPORT alludes to the intermediate phase between storage and exposure. The report is a tool to record the state of an object after coming out of the depot; a pause before exhibiting a piece of art to the public. The Curatorial Studies class of 2019-2020 unwraps itself for the first time to the exterior world with this collective project.

Group show with a list of works selected by the CS 2019-2020 participants in dialogue with artists outside the collection.
