Komplot

Komplot is delighted to welcome Petticoat Government for the Chapter Vinyl

Selected for the Belgian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024, the collective composed of Denicolai & Provoost, Antoinette Jattiot, Nord architectes, et Spec uloos, together with a wide network of artists and collaborators, developed Petticoat Government, a multi-chapter scenario populated by giants drawn from European folk traditions. Presented as a looped screening alongside a 12-metre inflatable Kutch, the half-hour musical film retraces this joyful collective adventure.

Gazpacho will be served throughout the evening!

The vinyle record will also be available for purchase during the opening hours.

A remix by Senjan Jansen of La Claque, composed by Moha Ezatvar, performed by Salamba and recorded at Ateliers Claus in Brussels in February 2024.

A sound piece by Laszlo Umbreit, composed from recordings made during Petticoat Government’s journey to Venice in March 2024: the bus ride through the Alps, a festive picnic on the frozen Lake Resia, the dance of the giants inside the rotary printing press of La Gazzetta dello Sport in Padua, and the crossing of the lagoon towards the Giardini.

Last Sunday, 19 April, we gathered for an afternoon of artist conversations on dreaming images.

Bringing together Natalija Gucheva, Agata Ingarden, Minne Kersten, and Julia Tröscher, the event connected two exhibitions, tracing how each practice gives form to the invisible realms of the mind: its shifting landscapes of fear, desire, and imagination, in resonance with influential writings and auto-theoretical reflections.

The first conversation brought Gucheva and Ingarden into dialogue around character-building, storytelling, and f(r)iction, moderated by assistant curator Charlotte Frenay. After a short break with coffee and cake, Kersten and Tröscher continued with a discussion on the spectral—phantasmagoria, metaphor, and elusive symbols—moderated by curator Koi Persyn.

This event explored shared synergies between the exhibitions 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 curated by Camille Van Meenen at Komplot and 𝘔𝘖𝘛𝘩𝘚 curated by Koi Persyn at the Chapel of Boondael, unfolding within celador’s third space, situated between both venues.

Both 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 and 𝘔𝘖𝘛𝘩𝘚 are part of the Off Programme, and are open this week from Thursday until Sunday. Make sure to go for a visit!
