Magical Realism follows The Absent Museum (2017) and Risquons-tout (2020) in a series of ambitious exhibitions at WIELS, inviting contemporary artists whose views challenge the norms of current aesthetics and discourse. Magical Realism reflects on an ecology that addresses both the aesthetic implications of our relationship with ‘nature’ at a tipping point; as well as the social, economic and scientific implications of exploring and shifting our conceptions of the planet.
