According
to Maya culture the world will end on December 21, 2012 due to a collision
between the earth and a black hole in the galaxy. Before the world
disappears, the Vanhaerents Art Collection has the pleasure to invite you
on Friday December 21 from 6 pm until 9 pm to (re)discover our
current project room exhibition AES+F - The Feast of Trimalchio over
a snack and a glass of wine!
The
Russian artist’s collective AES+F proposes an alternative end of the world
imagined in their spectacular video installation The Feast of Trimalchio.
This video installation is based on Cena Trimalchionis, a section in
Petronius’ Satyricon in which the freedman Trimalchio takes centre
stage. Trimalchio went down in history as the epitome of opulence, luxury
and unbridled pleasure. He thus embodies Vanitas: human pleasures are
finite, just like human existence itself.
Please do join us to drink to the end of the world / the
year 2013!
