Following the exhibition Painting After Paintingat S.M.A.K., PLUS-ONE Projects presentsits own idiosyncratic continuation:
After Painting After Painting (after painting)
This exhibition is a playful yet sincere wink at the institutional reading of painting in Belgium. Not an Art historical reconstruction, but a contemporarySalon des Refusés:an alternative footnote, or rather,a new sentence in a story still unfolding.
We invite a group of artists, born after 1970 andconnected to Belgium, who each in their own way questionand enrich the medium of painting.What interests us is how artists engage with paintingtoday: as an open field for formal exploration,as a carrier of images and ideas, as a reflection ondigital image culture, or as a sensorial statement,whether in seriousness or irony, with freedomor precision.
After Painting After Painting (After Painting)is not a critique towards the S.M.A.K. exhibition,but an invitation to continue, and to keep continuing,the conversation on painting today.
We cannot (and do not wish to) deliver a complete historyof painting in Belgium. What we can do is formulatea new chapter together,with works that effortlessly belong to the presentwhile looking forward.
