As Tylevich notes, “Art is just one object with which to fill a vitrine. Mounted butterflies another, cuts of meat or war medals other still. As metaphors, the contents of Borremans’s display cases are any or all of the above. It is the vitrine, and not the human, that is the recurring character across The Acrobat’s landscape paintings, which really aren’t landscapes, deceitful as they are, just as The Acrobat’s portraits really aren’t portraits. The vitrine has a mystical quality here. Despite the nature surrounding it, the glass remains clean of tree sap, bird droppings, and fingerprints. It is, apparently, a newcomer. Somebody offstage might care devotionally for the structure, perhaps the artist himself.” 3 MPs call for new law to help the one in three men over 65 living with incontinence by enforcing compulsory sanitary bins in male toilets The Acrobat will be accompanied by a publication including a new text by Katya Tylevich, forthcoming from David Zwirner Books.

Everybody has to find their own style of playing. And it took me a while to get there. It’s still an evolution, which is interesting of course, because I don’t know how my work will look in ten years or so. It’s an adventure.
