Permanent exhibition “Pop Art & Feminism” at the Delta in Namur.
Museum space from 25.09.2020 to 05.09.2021.
On the occasion of its 1st anniversary, Le Delta in Namur is inaugurating a museum space dedicated in part to the visibility of one of its most outstanding Namurian artists: Evelyne Axell (1935-1972). Thanks to a series of works on deposit, the museum space aims to become a permanent exhibition space for her works in Belgium. Works that will be periodically renewed.
For this first season, entitled “Pop art & Feminism”, the Delta is presenting new works such as the unfinished painting “L’offrande” and another little-known technique used by Evelyne Axell, the hijacked object represented by a 1970 statuette, “Monsieur Venus”.
Other works from the collection of the Province of Namur are also honoured, notably those of the Namurians Louis-Marie Londot and Jean-Marie Van Espen, both of whom were fascinated by the pop movement that swept through Belgium in 1965. The museum space also exhibits the latest acquisitions of the Province of Namur. These works have been chosen on the basis of a bias; that of giving women artists the museum visibility they have long been deprived of. The historical works collected, mainly dating from the 1960s and 1970s, question the role of the artist and the place of women in society.
