Review Frederic Demeyer (the Art Couch):

2022 Melancholy, the poetry of the mind: Adornesdomein Brugge
“When today’s media reduce melancholy to romantic dreaminess, this exhibition wants to make a statement that there is a rich intellectual history beyond this superficiality. The selection of artists is inspired by the attention paid to melancholic themes in their work. This may have to do with the biographical character of their work, architectural accents, mood effects, empty spaces, poetic elements, philosophical reflections or narrative content…”. (J. Késenne)
