Side by Side

Centrale presents Side by Side, an exhibition that brings together the ten laureates who received a Centrale award in the past four years, presenting ten singular artistic worlds. Artists Bertrand Cavalier, Léonore Chastagner, Eva Claus, Ellen Dhondt, Melissa Medan, Kemy Obafemi, Ooops I drew it again, Clara Villier, Serena Vittorini and Yue Yuan display powerful works as well as engaged, sensitive and deeply contemporary practices.

Ten artists, ten approaches, the same attention to gestures, to stories, to what links bodies to places, individuals to systems, memories to objects. Through photography, video, drawing, painting and installation, the laureates weave a sensitive cartography of the present, where the intimate meets the political, where the personal illuminates the collective.
