Love is Louder exhibition: 80 artists explore love from the late 60s to the present day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 12.10.2024 to 05.01.2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Love is Louder exhibition at Bozar (Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels) explores the many facets of love, its tensions and its different forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigating between the personal and the political, the intimate and the public, the exhibition focuses on three dimensions of love: romantic love, kinship and friendship, and love in a wider social context. From the Summer of Love in 1967 to the present day, the exhibition shows how, over the last 60 years, we have moved beyond the image of the traditional couple or nuclear family, how friendships take shape and what acts of love mean within society. The exhibition features over 120 works by 80 national and international artists in a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, video, film and multimedia installations. At a time of increasing polarisation, the exhibition focuses on what connects us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The triptych Joli mois de mai is an ode to revolutionary zeal and sexual liberation. On the left, Axell depicts the influential French art critic Pierre Restany as an orator preaching the liberation of the arts. The central figure waving the revolutionary banner is May \u201868 activist icon Caroline De Bendern, whose photo taken at a demonstration made the media rounds. On the right, Axell depicts herself naked and wearing her painterly attributes. She proudly asserts her right to use her body and paintbrush as she sees fit, in complete freedom.
