«With the word, one takes part in a dialogue, a discourse on its precise meaning.(…) The word for me is an object. It has both a precise and a vague meaning. It is a universe one is confronted with. But there is no obligatory way of reading.» Peter Downsbrough
From the early 1970's onward, Peter Downsbrough worked in the wake of minimal art, at the intersection of conceptual and concrete art, exploring the notions of «position» and «framing.» Drawing on an extraordinarily restrained vocabulary composed essentially of straight lines, words, and word fragments, Downsbrough produced an oeuvre of immeasurable conceptual richness and material diversity that includes sculpture, photography, films and audio works, and works on paper. His artistic interventions are always discreet, whether in exhibition spaces, books, or public settings.
Always open-ended, his art invites viewers to see for themselves - to observe closely not just the artwork itself, but also and especially its immediate surroundings, its specific place in space and time - his true subject.
Peter Downsbrough was born in 1940 in New Jersey. He was based in Brussels since 1989, where he died in 2024.
LIEN/S-LINK/S has been conceived as an exploration of links between various aspects of the work, between some places, and between some friends of the work.
The exposition is organised in partnership with Art Brussels where it is part of the Off and VIP programmes.
