Oskar Zieta & Thibo Moreels

7 June 2024 until 30 August 2024

It’s become more clear than ever that we are living through an interesting period in history. Humanity has seen the mass migration of people across the planet due to climate change and "forever wars." Midst the madness, state authorities have acknowledged the existence of UFO's. Global distrust of power structures and authority has lead people to question the authenticity of state-run media and institutions. The internet has provided grounds for communication of every theory put forth by every discipline and by researchers of every qualification. Humans have become over-stimulated by a digital world full of aliens, alternate histories, emerging spiritualties, changing politics, and virtual realities. This exhibition could be seen as a response to our brave, new world as much as it is a product. After all, if you’re curious to learn more about demonic aliens, flying saucers in the middle-ages, Bigfoots black box, or men in black, you’re only a click away.

Thibo Moreels

Thibo works with a variety of mediums to investigate the concepts that occupy him. He’s more interested in communication then committing himself to a single discipline. Ideas present themselves in a variety of vessels, Thibo is open to materializing them in whatever form they require. His studio houses a number of experimental constructions and unusual building materials. His sculptures are primarily found-object collages that tend to be full of contrasting associations. Meanwhile, his paintings contain the same thoughtful ironies. They look like tiny versions of the epic Hudson River School paintings of the Sublime and Romanticist movements. And like the found objects, his small paintings when paired make their own unusual connections and associations.

Oskar Zieta

Oskar is a world-famous sculptor and fabricator of stainless steal. He's mastered a process by which steel is inflated into balloon forms. The variety of shapes are incredibly magical and abstract, while simultaneously domestic and familiar. His sculptures have strong roots in the Futurist movement of the early 1900's. However, Oskar's artworks are extremely contemporary and feel as though they come from a place in our own future. His functional forms vary, but can range from mirrors to tables and chairs. Oskar's work is at home in modern architecture as well as more traditional buildings, elevating the space with its lofty design.
