KNOCK ON WOOD
starring
JM Wull & Mart De Brouwer
as from October 12
Wood may be one of the oldest and most commonplace art materials, long used in African, Pre-columbian and Oceanic artwork to create groundbreaking forms.
Artists like JM Wull and Marten de Brouwer see wood as a viable contemporary material for sculpture, one that transcends its associations with mere craft.
Wood has also become easier to manipulate in recent years, due to the availability of digital tools for design and fabrication.
However, these innovative artists working with wood today aren’t necessarily taking advantage of the newest technology.
This new generation continues to push the limits of wood, employing a dizzying variety of conceptual and technical approaches.
