Tangents is the title of a group art show that will take place in the heart of Gent from the 20th of September until the 19th October 2008. A number of national and international artists are taking part in this new exhibition. Photographs, paintings, sculptures, drawings and a video piece will be on display.
This intriguing group of individuals has been put together to create a dialogue between northern European and Latin artists but also to celebrate art for the sake of art.
Each of the participants has already taken part in various exhibitions in their home land as well as in the rest of Europe: William Paats (py) and Dácil Granados (es) both represented their countries in the Biennale of Venice in 2008. Marlies Davans (be) Nele Tas (be), and Tom de Visscher (be) are three well known upcoming Belgium artists. Their art pieces will be sharing a room with those from Nayra Martin Reyes (es), Tarek Ode (es), and Americo Pinanez (py), in between others.
Art lovers will be delighted by such an interesting and challenging experience and the general public will enjoy the beauty of each of the pieces on show. We are here to open a new door to the international relations of Belgium’s art world!
