HUSBANDRY’S PINK THREAD

On the occasion of Belgian Pride, WIELS invites you to follow the pink thread of queer references in Kasper Bosmans’ exhibition through an interview, a video and other news!
In May and June, join us for a series of workshops, evening events and talks!

PLAN YOUR VISIT

In Husbandry, references to queerness make their first explicit appearance in Kasper Bosmans’ practice. He explains why in the extract below, taken from the book presentation of Dovetail in response to a question from one of its contributors, Martin Germann.

BERSERK IN DETAIL

In his work, Bosmans connects multiple references. Home is dear, home is best is the perfect example. This sand painting is inspired by the tale Zeus and the turtle and by the book Queer space: architecture and same-sex desire (1997) by Aaron [removed];In a gesture of self-mockery, the artist depicts himself as the pink spider ready to devour his prey (the visitor).
