Matthieu Laurette - Commodities

We are delighted to present our first exhibition of Matthieu Laurette, an artist who has never shown his work in Belgium before. 'Commodities' is his first one-man show at a European gallery outside France. Matthieu Laurette gained international attention with his contribution to Platea dell’Umanita, the exhibition put together by Harald Szeemann at the 2001 Venice Biennale. In Otegem, he will show a variation on the large-scale installation entitled Mobile Information Stand For Moneyback Products that was shown in Venice.
For this exhibition, Matthieu Laurette has selected works that, just like commodities, originate in the reality of our contemporary economy and question it at the same time.
By presenting Matthieu Laurette to the public, Deweer Art Gallery wishes to introduce a young and original artist who definitely deserves attention.
