On the occasion of Write as the Beasts Cry at Night, Thu-Van Tran's solo exhibition at La Loge in Brussels, a conversation between the artist and Eva Barois De Caevel, curator in the Department of Contemporary and Prospective Creation at the Musée national d’art moderne – Centre Pompidou in Paris, will take place on October 7, 2024 at 6:30 pm.
"In 2015, Thu-Van Tran invited me to write about her work. A text came out, which ended with these words: 'Fracas du témoin'. It was about the noise of the work, the posture of the artist, surrounding the question of History and its restitution. Since then, we kept being in touch through texts, and one day our discussions took place in a tropical greenhouse, a place of inspiration for the artist."
To discuss about Write as the Beasts Cry at Night, Eva Barois and Thu-Van Tran will look back at the material processes that give rise to the works. They will question the way in which narratives, fiction, make their appearance in our psyche. What does the intrusion- that usually happens at night - of myth and literature mean ? What connection does it have with the stages of mourning (and what mourning are we talking about)?
