Press Release

Edith Dekyndt works across video, sculpture, installation, drawing and sound to address timeless concerns of light, time and space. Throughout her work, she manifests a profound interest in physical phenomenons and ephemeral incidents by paying close attention to materials and their transient nature. She transforms her sensual perceptions to create a conceptually rich and materially engaged visual language.

For this Online Viewing Room, Edith Dekyndt created a new series of works where pieces of broken glass are delicately stitched onto velvet and carefully draped over metallic bars. Precariously balancing the seemingly opposite material properties of glass and fabric, Edith Dekyndt’s operation oscillates between an act of healing and a razor-sharp deception. The series is accompanied by a text written by Maria Gil Ulldemolins.

About the Gallery

Over the past 30 years, Galerie Greta Meert established itself as one of Brussels’ leading contemporary art galleries. Founded in 1988 as Galerie Meert Rihoux, it was subsequently renamed after its founding director Greta Meert in 2006. Located in the center of Brussels, the gallery occupies a five-story Art Nouveau building designed by Louis Bral and renovated for the gallery by renowned Belgian architects Hilde Daem and Paul Robbrecht. Since 2012 three floors of the building are dedicated to exhibitions, making it possible to maintain an expanded exhibition schedule.
