Wesley Meuris

Wesley Meuris' work intersects with both architecture and scientific systems of consolidation and classification. He addresses concepts of conservation and engages in a rationalist understanding of space and knowledge. He produces such varied objects as zoological enclosures, hypothetical archives, museum furniture, and fictional exhibitions.

Meuris' work will be subject of an important monographic exhibition at the Musée des Arts Contemporains in Grand Hornu in 2017 and has been the subject of several exhibitions and installations including the Kunsthalle of Wien (2016), the Confort Moderne of Poitiers (2016), the Mu.Zee of Oostende (2015), the space JeudiJeudi in Geneva (2015), the BF15 (Contemporary Art Center) of Lyon (2014), at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam (2014), at the Casino of Luxembourg (2012), at the SMAK in Gand (2005), at the Royal Academy of Brussels (2010), at the Fresnoy in Tourcoing (2010), at the MAMAC in Liège (2010), and at the Art & Essai Gallery in Rennes (2010). He was also exhibited at the Jerôme Poggi gallery in 2013, in association with independant curator, Florence Ostende.

A number of critics have written about Meuris, including Michel Dewilde, Lievan Van Den Abeele, Eva Wittocx, Jean Marc Huitorel, and Florence Ostende. His work has been the subject of several monographs.
