Maurice Bogaert

’My visual work is an investigation into concepts of staging, of reality and fiction, and of origin and effect. The aim of this
investigation is a research into the staged situations that 
are present in everyday social reality.

As a visual artist I use theatricality to explore the line between fiction and reality, sometimes to reveal how reality is, acutally, staged; 
sometimes to create my own, (re-)staged, reality.

In both cases my work focuses on the relation between culturally determined preconceptions of reality and what we actually experience. I use theatricality as a means of isolating, concretizing and questioning this relationship.’

Opening: Friday 9/12 at 7 pm.
Closing: Sunday 11/12 at 5pm.
