Archiving Ian Wilson
One of the ambitions and joys of making exhibitions in a gallery comes from the different ways artists and curators make use of the space. During Archiving Ian Wilson we are turning the exhibition space into a working space while remaining open to the public. Prior to his death in April 2020 Ian Wilson requested that all his works that had remained in his possession would be sent to our storage. A first inventory of remaining discussion certificates, books and other works was made soon after their arrival in Brussels in 2021. During the coming two months we will continue with the inventarisation and seek the expertise of museum archivists, curators, publishers and other specialists who have worked with Ian Wilson during his lifetime. The ambition is to do preparatory research for the second volume of the catalogue raisonné that was published in 2008 by the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven) in collaboration with MACBA (Barcelona). While small groups of works will be displayed, gallery visitors will be given an insight into Wilson’s work as well as in the inventarisation [removed];
