Exhibition Patrick Van Caeckenbergh ‘A Pied d’Oeuvre’

1985

The work of Patrick Van Caeckenbergh consisted of several parts: the invitation itself, illustrations relating to male and female sexuality behind a sheet of glass and a slide projector incorporated into an upright wooden structure which projected images. There was also a box covered in chamois leather mounted on an artist’s easel, with reproductions on sheets of veneer framed in chamois.

For the drinks at the preview he made something rather special: two glass containers taped together and filled with a red and blue cocktail (a reference to the alchemistic interpretation of male and female sexuality).

Patrick is now a famous artist. For many years he has been represented by the Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp and he has had solo exhibitions in (among other places) the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht and the Carré d’Art in Nïmes.
