‘Call me gravity’ is opening tonight at WIELS with new works by Annaïk Lou Pitteloud.
The thematic exhibition Call me gravity explores the concept of debt from various angles — focusing in particular on its impact on bodies and contemporary perceptions. Beyond its economic meaning, debt encompasses social, spatial, historical and emotional dimensions. It manifests concretely in the proliferation of credit lines, but also lurks in what eludes measurement, in what is neither accounted for nor recognised.
Call me gravity brings together international artists who explore these dynamics primarily through sculptural forms embedded in the building’s post-industrial architecture. The works draw attention to what remains invisible — what is considered useless or superfluous, such as forms of labour and care, yet proves indispensable to the system. They also point to the shrinking of the public sphere and its infrastructure, caught in the grip of capital, and raise questions about artistic production itself.
Participating artists: Dora Budor, Niloufar Emamifar, Annaïk Lou Pitteloud, Georgia Sagen, Gianna Surangkanjanajai, and Sung Tieu
