Mark Manders in Modelling Life
30 March—24 August 2025
Group exhibition at Z33, Hasselt, Belgium
As we grow into the world, we are literally and figuratively shaped by our environment. We form and are formed by the spaces in which we live. Modelling Life traces the contours of our environment as much as the construction of identitities, values and expectations of the (un)built world. At the heart of the group exhibition lies the question: how do we use models to orient ourselves? With a selection of 14 Belgian and international artists, this exhibition explores modelling as a tool for world-building and self formation.
With works by Kasper Bosmans, Christiane Blattman, Pablo Bronstein, Jakob Brugge, Helen Chadwick, Sara Deraedt, Caroline Van den Eynden, Robert Gober, Joseph Grigely, Atiéna R. Kilfa, Mark Manders, Park McArthur, Diane Simpson, Rosemarie Trockel. Kasper Bosmans and Christiane Blattmann will present major new commissions for Z33.
