GRADUATE SHOW MASTER VISUAL ARTS 2010 SINT-LUKAS: "PLAY THE PIANO DRUNK LIKE A PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT UNTIL THE FINGERS BEGIN TO BLEED A BIT"

Opening: 18.9.2010, 18.00 – 21.00

Argos invites the graduating master students of Sint-Lukas University College of Art & Design for their final degree show. This promising generation of young artists will exhibit together for the first time for a larger audience. While the eight graduates all have followed their own track within their artistic practices, there is one thing they have in common: this year they will finish their education at Sint-Lukas Brussels to pursue a career in the professional arts field. As a group they chose not to connect their various positions with a specific theme or chronology, but instead to relate the individual works to one another in a divergent way. Showing idiosyncratic and mostly highly personal gestures, this exhibition aims to convey an array of positions and directions within the emerging Brussels art scene. Besides this the context of Argos as an institution will be taken into account, both in spatial and historical terms. As such Argos’ vast collection of audiovisual works will provide an interesting locus for reflection and interaction.
