Using pressing images, disruptive humour and a playful approach to language, Peter Morrens questions the world around him. The artist absorbs words, images, sounds and experiences and transforms them into multifaceted works that turn the world on its head. His images invite us to look differently at our everyday use of language, our existential doubts, social conventions and political-social propositions.

Morrens’ multifaceted practice takes shape in a variety of media. He proceeds intuitively and associatively, using chance, doubt and unexpected links to shape his oeeeeeeuuuuvvre. Sowing the seeds of doubt is part of a deliberate strategy. Like a radio jammer, he plays with our expectations and need for recognizability. He encourages us to look and appeals to our imagination, with a keen eye for poetic beauty.

This exhibition presents a comprehensive survey of Morrens’ oeuvre from the past 35 years. New work, encounters and collaborations with other artists also have a place within an adapted architecture, in which Morrens seeks links with works from the collection of M. He presents his personal view of the collection on a monumental display case, which runs throughout the galleries like a connecting thread.

The artist has devised his own audio tour for this exhibition, in which he accompanies you on an associative journey, a true stream of consciousness, and offers an insight into his crackling thinking. You can find the tour in the app or by scanning the QR code.

Curator: Eva Wittocx.
