Leonor Antunes - 'discrepancies'

The sculptural and spatial creations of Portuguese artist Leonor Antunes are the result of a subtle exchange between the context in which they are exhibited , a local know-how, and an embodied encounter with the works. Imbued with the legacy of modernist women architects and designers,her work also relates to the vernacular and resists the extreme rationalisation of creative processes. For her exhibition at La Loge, Antunes presents a new installation of light fixtures, questioning the objects’fragility as well as their functionality. The exhibition also acts as a starting point for Antunes’ in-depth research project on Simone Guillissen-Hoa, one of Belgium's first female architects.
