I would like to see that

Lola Daels creates sculptures and installations in which she questions the notion of authenticity within the current ecological and socio-political context. During her M residency, she immersed herself in two obsolete Italian techniques: scagliola (faux marble) and pietra dura (inlaid stone).

Lola Daels

Brussels

Lola Daels (b. 1990, Jette) lives and works in Brussels. She gained her master’s degree in visual arts from the Luca School of Arts, Brussels, in 2014. Her work has previously been shown in group exhibitions at Bozar (BE), Extracity Kunsthal (BE), Art Sonje Center Seoul (KR) and Kunsthal Aarhus (DK), amongst others.  Daels has also completed residencies at EKWC (NL), Cité Internationale des Arts (FR), AAIR Antwerp (BE) and Fondation CAB (BE).

 

Daels’ practice is characterised by extensive material research and labour-intensive experimentation. Central to her oeuvre is the relationship between humans and nature. Her visually seductive works are laced with references to ecological disasters, climate change and  the irreversible impact of humans on the planet.

 

M presents the results of her residency from 15 March to 1 September 2024 at the museum.

M-residency

M supports emerging talent and, through residency work, gives artists the opportunity and space to deepen their artistic research and develop new work. Every year, two artists are selected for the M-residency, who are guests at the M-atelier in Cas-co for five months. They follow an intensive trajectory with substantive, financial and technical guidance, culminating in a presentation in M.
