A shroud is an article of clothing or a hanging cloth intended to cover some part of the head or face, or an object of significance. The term is most often used in reference to burial sheets, mound shrouds, or grave clothes. The practice of veiling is especially associated with women and sacred objects. Besides its enduring religious significance, in today’s society, a veil might be used to protect objects from gathering dust or to hide our living spaces from people on the street.
Rien Coorevits’s work spans a wide array of disciplines, from printmaking to video work, and music to performance. For this exhibition, Rien developed a machine that helps him create a unique type of drawing that blurs the lines between drawing, printmaking, and textile design. His earlier work in tool-making and robotic drawings culminates in a series of shrouds and veils—or rather, drawings of shrouds and veils. He invites us to see what isn’t shown while presenting us with a tool to conceal what we don’t want to expose.
Come say hi!
