Family Servais Collection
With the desire to develop her mission of public interest about the works of a collection and to inspire the curious visitors to discover an international repertory of contemporary art, the Collection Famille Servais organizes since about 10 years an annual presentation of some of her works of art in the Loft, the ancient residence of the collector Alain Servais.

DÉRAPAGES & POST-BRUISES IMAGINARIES
The LOFT 2018 – 2019, Brussels
Family Servais Collection

Can we fight fatigue, myopia, the feeling of being powerless, the legacies of the faulty maps of yesterday?                               
Can we find in the strata of reality seeds for a new consciousness, for a better understanding of the present?
What about some sparkles of a less gloomy future?

A sedimentation of very different artistic strategies from metaphoric to rebellious, from queering to ironic, the works selected from the vast Family Servais Collection for DÉRAPAGES & POST-BRUISES IMAGINARIES exhibition are unfolding a vocabulary of dissent so much necessary in a time characterized by social upheavals, by so many absurd political games and a jumble economy.

Works tackle topics like biopolitics, (new) rituals for revolutions, migration, tensions between the public &private spheres, ideological failures in recent history,hedonism, labor & oppressive market conditions, queer futurities, psychocapitalism etc.
