Leigh Ledare: L'Hôte

Nov 9 – Dec 21, 2019
Place du Jardin aux Fleurs 5, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium

Leigh Ledare once noted, “Any given image is underwritten by an ecology: by structures, interrelations, and circumstances.” Ledare is interested in relationships—or, more to the point, their simmering subtext. So he turns to social psychology and sociology. His video installation The Task, which sees his camera subtly disrupting a psychological group experiment, screens twice daily during this exhibition. Five Ledare assemblages are also on view. —E.C.
