Marcel Mariën (1920-1993) - Chambre d'ennemi I à V
Five photographs, signed, numbered and titled by Mariën and a text (dated 19.2.1991) by Mariën. 18/25 (plus 11 hc copies). The photographs were printed by Carine Demeter, Antwerp. Published by Max Pisti, Antwerp, 1991. Photograph dimensions approx 28.5*21.5 cm, pasted on Steinbach paper 39*51 cm. Frames 42*54 cm.
The title Chambre d'ennemi would be an ironic reference to the famous exhibition Chambres d'Amis organized in 1986 by director Jan Hoet of the Ghent Museum of Contemporary Art (now SMAK). It featured contemporary art works by internationally renowned artists in dozens of Ghent private homes. Even before the exhibition opened, an extensive polemic had developed between the participating artists, Hoet, art critics and participants who had not been selected. Jacques Charlier creates the artwork Chambre d'Ennemi for the exhibition. Several other exhibitions are organized in Ghent as a counterpart to Hoet's exhibition (Antichambre, Initiatief d'Ami). Mariën participates in an exhibition in the Sint Pietersabdij in Ghent.
