Beating Around the Bush. Episode #1 (starring István Csákány, Mark Manders, Camille Henrot)

February 14 – April 13 2014, Start and end dates


Beating Around the Bush is an exhibition programme for 2014, in which the Bonnefantenmuseum will be presenting its collection in an investigative way. In four episodes, both the fixed values and the 'quiet reserve' of the collection will be brought into dialogue with new and proposed acquisitions.

Beating Around the Bush Episode #1 explores how contemporary artists deal with universal and timeless questions about the condition humaine, or human condition; questions about the origin of things, as well as their loss or disappearance. How does art relate to visible reality, and what other realities are depicted? What personal mythologies do artists develop in their work, and what overlap is there with religion and mysticism?
