Melancholy in crescendo, a song for the end of an era
In a world steeped in twilight, where the whispering of the stars slowly fades into the noise of our own existence, the exhibition 'A Melody for the End of the Holocene' in Art Gallery De Wael 15 invites us to listen to the final notes of a lost melody. Toon Boeckmans, the artist behind the exhibition, challenges us to reflect on the end of an era and the birth of a new harmony. How does he approach this? With small, uncomplicated interventions that make us contemplate what we see. Or rather what we think we see.
