Ade Darmawan & Philippe Pirotte
Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 4 PM - 5 PM
Van Volxemlaan 354, 1190 Brussels, Belgium
Artist and curator Ade Darmawan joins professor Philippe Pirotte in conversation, moderated by WIELS curator Helena Kritis, to discuss his work in the exhibition Magical Realism. Through delicate distillation processes, Darmawan's practice meditates on transformation, decay, and the invisible forces that shape historical memory. In this conversation, they will explore how material processes become tools for questioning dominant narratives and power structures. This conversation invites us to reflect on how the slow work of erosion, both symbolic and real, can offer paths to resistance and renewal.
