Tomorrow evening we open Gabriel Chaile's solo show that I curated at DE SINGEL and I am super excited. Come and celebrate with us in Antwerp! In the exhibition, titled ‚Where are the Heirs of these Forms?‘, Gabriel Chaile tells the story of hair, inspired by hairstyles that communities adopt over time as a form of identity. At the center of the exhibition is a sculptural self-portrait, with Chaile’s hair in the front part, while the back is inspired by the shapes of indigenous ceramics in North-West Argentina. The hair is sculpted in a similar manner to the Venus of Willendorf, and the sculpture faces a hanging plow that looks like a comb or a mosquito that wants to enter the earthen sculpture. A series of new drawings show Chaile‘s interpretation of historical depictions of hair in different cultures. Like a code or a musical score they surround the central figure. So grateful to Gabriel and his studio for making this happen. A big thank you to Gabriel Chaile @soychaile, Malena Bach @malenabach, Joaquin Biglione, Juan Pedriguero Trillo and Tomas Henriques Thank you to the ever great installation team of DE SINGEL Guy Anthoni, Karl Kana, Percy Verdonck, Peter Lauwers and everyone who contributed to the exhibition.
