MO: I want­ed to ask you about the Medieval. Following your work, there has often been some sort of sub­tle nod toward it, or a mate­r­i­al sen­si­bil­i­ty that seems to sug­gest ideas of what I would call a European Medieval of the pop­u­lar imag­i­na­tion. Yet here in these new Flower works…

Since March 2014, artist and Kortrijk native Joachim Coucke has been run­ning art space DASH, one of the very few places for con­tem­po­rary art in his Belgian home­town. We had a chat with him about what it’s like to oper­ate out­side of the usu­al art epi­cen­ters, DASH’s recently…

The silk­worm is lazy to the human eye, yet its lazi­ness is active. Pendulous, it writes a lulling syn­tax in the air, sali­va-to-silk. Secreting near­ly one mile of fil­a­ment, the worm cocoons itself; sub­merged in hot water, the silk is loos­ened, killing the pupa in turn. The…

Alex Bennett: Though your work involves sculp­tur­al assem­blages of extreme­ly diverse mate­r­i­al, it’s curi­ous to know that film was your ini­tial inter­est. You even cre­at­ed your own Super 8 films. You’ve men­tioned Tony Conrad’s ​“Yellow Movies” as a sig­nif­i­cant influ­ence for you; to…

The Apple Nun (Book of Hymns) takes on a ubiq­ui­tous pres­ence in each room of the exhi­bi­tion. Papadopoulos alters the space with a news­pa­per repro­duc­tion of the text explo­sive­ly scat­tered through­out. Like yesterday’s news — a stand-in for the fall­en woman — the…
