I’m Not Interested in Humans These Days, 2015
jesmonite, pigments, epoxy foam, 40 x 40 x 16 cm (weight: 3,8 kg)
edition of 10 + 5 AP

–

Belgian artist ALINE BOUVY has just made these pillows as an art edition especially for the website Le Salon (welcometolesalon.be), an online platform with a focus on the Brussels contemporary art scene. Using jesmonite – a gypsum-based material in an acrylic resin – and epoxy foam, she created a series of deceptive pillows as she calls them, since they hard, heavy and make people around them feeling awkward with their mocking attitude.

I especially like how absurdly funny they are in contrast to their morbid stillness. Make sure to visit http://welcometolesalon.be/ for more art delights from Belgium.

And please note also that ALINE BOUVY will have a solo exhibition entitled Sorry, I slept with your dog at the project space Exo Exo in Paris from July 9, 2015.
