Åsa Lie & Jadran Sturm
Humanitas
02.04 – 29.05
The Jadran Sturm & Åsa Lie Private Stichting announces the upcoming exhibition Humanitas at AMVB as well as the launch of their new website. Both are results of the Pilotprojects Heritage Legacies in Art Subsidy from the Flemish Department of Culture and close collaborations with partners, Jubilee, CKV and AMVB.
Simon Delobel from KIOSK participated in an expert moment alongside Bas Hendrikx, Lotte Beckwé and Ronny Heiremans. He also conducted two interviews with Åsa Lie about several works from the archive. Excerpts from these can be found here: Pyramids, Lingua Portuguesa and 61 Days Proceeding, Sociological Performance.
The exhibition Humanitas will feature two key works from the oeuvre of the artist duo Åsa Lie and Jadran Sturm. 61 Days Proceeding Sociological Performance (1991) reflects on the geopolitical situation in Greenland via interpersonal relationships. Humanitas (1995) examines connections between the public and the private with family artefacts and interpretations of humanism. Neither work has previously been exhibited. Lotte Beckwé (art historian), Merzedes Sturm-Lie (daughter and artist), and Åsa Lie are curating the exhibition and entering into dialogue with AMVB’s rich archive.
The opening will be accompanied by a new cassette featuring previously unreleased sound works by Åsa Lie and Jadran Sturm, published by RFTS. In addition, Merzedes Sturm-Lie will present a performance through which she engages in dialogue with her parents’ archive.
