ECCE HOMO is based on a strong collaboration of Gallery GEUKENS & DE VIL with MARION DE CANNIÈRE and Belgian art-critic ERIC RINCKHOUT.
ECCE HOMO started several years ago in the mind of art historians Yasmine Geukens & Marie-Paule De Vil as a small group exhibition but evolved today into a grand event that takes place on several locations in the city of Antwerp.
OSTENDE, BELGIUMFrom 21/10/17 to 15/04/18
« The Raft. Art is (not) Lonely » will bring together 73 international artists in Oostende chosen by curators Jan Fabre and Joanna De Vos and will present 52 new creations of young and experienced artists.
The exhibition discusses the artist’s quest and the duality of the creation, based on isolation and engagement.
Artists from different generations and different paths were invited to question the link between « Le radeau de la méduse » (1818) of Théodore Géricault and Jan Fabre’s work « Le Radeau est (pas) solitaire (1986) ».
The curators have the intention to stimulate the city in order to make it (re)discovered. Besides the well-known museum, they looked for more unsual places like the Peperbusse restaurant, le
Palais de Justice, the Eurpacentrum building, the stables of the Wellington track race or the crypts of the Sint-Jozef church.
« The Raft. Art is (not) Lonely » will be an artistic journey disseminated in 22 places of the « City by the sea » .
LEOPOLD MUSEUM, VIENNA, AUSTRIAFrom 7/7/17 to 8/27/17

Curator Germano Celant.

Fascinated by alchemy and memory of materials, Jan Fabre has been using glass and bone since 1977, both in reference to the Flemish masters and the Venice glass tradition.

Belgian artist Jan Fabre has been invited by the St Petersbourg Hermitage to create an extensive exhibition circuit at the museum, to include both new and existing works.
This outstanding new presentation at the State Hermitage commences in the Apollo Room. Fabre will also be integrating his drawings, sculptures and installations into the rooms of the Old Hermitage (with its collection of Southern Netherlands Renaissance painting), Catherine the Great’s Winter Garden, the Flemish rooms in the New Hermitage (Snyders Room, Van Dyck Room, Rubens Room, Jordaens Room), the Twelve-Column Hall and the Knights’ Room. The exhibition continues on the other side of the museum square in the recently installed rooms of the General Staff Building, once the Russian tsars’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

MAC LYON, LYON, FRANCEFrom 9/00/2016 to 1/15/2017
In 2016, ‘Stigmata’ presents the totality of Jan Fabre’s actions and performances since 1976. A journey around the memory of Jan Fabre, involving 40 years of creation, it has the merit of interrogating, not the action or the performance, but the way to exhibit it, the way to present it. The mise en scene by Jan Fabre and Germano Celant, an overview of all performances and actions, gathers 87 glass trays, 800 objects, drawings, photographs, artefacts, costumes, models which he calls “thought models”, films, works in blue ballpoint pen, and more. THURSDAY 29 SEPTEMBER 2016, 6 PM : NEW PERFORMANCE WITH EDDY MERCKX AND RAYMOND POULIDOR “An attempt to not beat the world hour record set by Eddy Merckx in Mexico City in 1972 (or how to remain a dwarf in a land of giants)”, created for Lyon at the Parc de la Tête d’Or velodrome, with commentary and live filming, in the presence of Eddy Merckx. Jan Fabre pays tribute to the Belgian cyclist. The artist grabs the handlebars and thrusts his feet into the toe clips in an attempt not to beat the world record set in Mexico City in 1972. In a salute to the talent of the man they called “The Cannibal” because of his insatiable hunger after victories, Jan Fabre allows himself to be caught up and swallowed by the beauty of failure.
MUSEE DU QUAI BRANLY, PARIS, FRANCEFrom 06/21/2016 to 10/09/2016
