Intimate visit and exhibiton at Curator's Home

MINERVE presents Nout, a solo exhibition by Belgian artist Carole Vanderlinden. 

Echoing MINERVE’s panoramic view and its framing of the sun’s trajectory, Vanderlinden instinctively turned to Egyptian art, finding a direct echo in Nut, an Egyptian goddess she had previously painted. Nut is the celestial vault, swallowing the sun at night and giving birth to it in the morning. Her arching body embodies the sun’s eternal cycle and resonates with architecture, everyday life, the cyclical, cosmology, and memory, elements that are central at MINERVE. The exhibition presents previously unseen works, set in dialogue with older ones, chosen for their formal and symbolic resonances with Egyptian art. For the first time, Vanderlinden also opens her private notebooks, conceived as an extension of both the exhibition space and the work itself. These visual diaries, composed of sketches, readings, and fragments of research, reveal a practice in which intuition and knowledge remain in constant circulation. Curated by Maud Salembier and Egyptologist Elisabeth Van Caelenberge.
