Agnes De Man, a huge talent and free spirit, lives and works in Linkebeek. Her starting point is crafts and her inspiration, an open view of the world cultivated during her travels and encounters.
For her new exhibition HOME WORK, Agnes observed people phobic with cleaning. She then opened her cupboards and took out the basic materials for new work: floor cloths, drying up cloths, sponges, tablecloths…
Remembering the tradition of our grandmothers who embroidered their household linen and handkerchiefs, Agnes took her works to Gujarat, India, where she asked immensely talented local craftswomen to embroider them.
This resulted in unique garments, but can you wear them? Discover for yourself at her new exhibition.
