We are very honoured to present ‘Just Beyond the Undertow’, the first solo exhibition by the renowned Scottish artist Martin Boyce in Belgium. Inspired by the specific architecture of the space, the exhibition focuses on a selection of sculptures and installations from 2003-2018, combined with newly produced works. 

Martin Boyce (°1967, Hamilton) lives and works in Glasgow. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art and the California Institute for the Arts (CalArts) in Los Angeles in the 1990s. In 2009 he represented Scotland on the 53rd Biennial of Venice with a solo presentation at Palazzo Pisani. In 2011 Boyce received the prestigious Turner Prize.

Many thanks to the artist, Scarlett Williams (Studio Martin Boyce), Esther Schipper (Berlin), The Modern Institute (Glasgow), Tom Berden (TB Engineering), Woningbouw Merckaert (Geraardsbergen) & Pauline Scharmann.
