Opening Reception: 24th April 6-9pm
L’imaginaire et le rêve sont des mécanismes producteurs de composition.Les objets et les figures qui nous apparaissent virtuellement sont aussi souvent ceux qui nous interpellent au quotidien – sauf que, dans le rêve, leurs contours sont vagues : tout y est d’une superbe perméabilité.Il existe donc un endroit fragile où la confusion est possible. Un lieu où naît une part de notre engouement sensible qui nous permet de révéler la force poétique des objets et des espaces que nous rencontrons.Juliet Merie, Charlotte Stuby et Hugo Ruyant nous invitent à parcourir un espace autre, où l’imaginaire ne s’oppose nullement à la réalité : il n’en est ni le contraire ni l’adversaire. Le rêve est une réalité différente, fertile, mélancolique, complice de tous nos souvenirs. -

Robyn Lawrence is infatuated by the power of print in captivating material tangibility of word and language. Reflecting on the illusive rhetoric of modern communication, she is engaged with the transformation of online discourse into a fine art print practice. Her work celebrates the physicality of print processes by investigating texture, layering, and composition. Robyn is often informed by autobiographical experience, including themes of discomfort and obsessiveness. As a first year student of the MA Print course at the Royal College of Art, she is enjoying the space to experiment with different processes including lithography and screen printing.
Embracing a fascination with colour and materiality, Dieter Ashton’s work is focused on exploring the diverse qualities of print. With an investigatory approach to colour theory and process, Dieter is captivated by experimenting with and subverting traditional printmaking processes. Recent works include large scale lithographic monotypes on fabric. Currently, as a final year MA Print student at the Royal College of Art he is working towards his degree show.
During their time at Sagacity Robyn and Dieter are considering how collaborative processes can further interrogate their mutual intrigue for colour, material, and multiplicity.

‘# 2953c1 When it is not Spontaneous’, hosted by @Sagacity Brussels, is the third collaborative installation by Turkish artist Mustafa Boğa and Icelandic artist Kolbrún Inga Söring. This time, digging further into their experience of mental and physical borders and questioning their existence within these concepts. They emphasise a disapproval of discriminatory attitudes, stating that their expression is a carefully constructed ideology that raises questions fuelled by disagreement with the current socio-political climate.
The installation exists within an ongoing project ‘The Fourth Culture – a Micro Nation’ which is a container for a critical view on society, where the duo practices intense critical self-reflection, using their opposite experiences, challenging viewers perceptions and asking them to perform a mental and physical reading of the information presented to them. This initiates a dialogue which plants a seed that then can continue growing further in the mind of another.
Both Boğa and Söring present themselves in the space, but their roles are paradoxical. While Boğa is hidden, Söring is exposed. Deconstructing their own learnt behaviour, they express borderless attitudes through a special experience which becomes both intrusive to and influenced by the public’s presence. Their combined cultural experiences give them the possibility of examining cultural identities from a broad understanding of different perceptions.

For this exhibition Dóra Benyó and Mária-Krisztina Nagy are investigating the perpetual notion of chance and the wide range of consequential possibilities. The title When Bread Falls on the Buttered Side evokes the external and forceful factors that lead to uncontrollable situations. Therefore, the two artists are exploring human powerlessness and their various capacity of adaptation to the unforeseeable.
