S̶U̶J̶E̶T̶, A SOLO EXHIBITION BY THE LETTERS PACE DEPARTMENT.

Friday 11/09, 18:00 - Saturday 24/10, 18:00h
At: Komplot

Komplot is happy to be back from its summer break and presents: s̶u̶j̶e̶t̶, a solo exhibition by The LetterS pace Department.

With Achilles Mussche, Alicja Melzacka, Antoinette Jattiot, Damiano Curschellas, Dieter
Ravyts, gerlach en koop, Louis Garrido, Lukas Stallaert, Maxime Melis, Michiel Ceulers,
Pierre Leguillon, Reiner Vrancken, Sophie Nys, Thibaud Leplat, Yann Chateigné Tytelman,
Yue Yuan

Rather than presenting a singular authorial position, at Komplot The LetterS pace Department operates as guest and host at once, re-membering the works of close friends and kindred spirits in order to compose its first solo exhibition as one body of work.

At the start of s̶u̶j̶e̶t̶ lies the discovery of foundling tokens preserved in the archives of the CPAS/OCMW of Brussels. Left with infants placed in foundling drawers between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, cards, devotional prints and pieces of cloth were often divided in two. One half remained with the child, the other with the parent, each irregular edge preserving the possibility of a future reunion.
Subjectivity emerges in this space: not as a unified whole, but as something split, addressed and assembled through relations, voices and acts of enunciation. s̶u̶j̶e̶t̶takes this split and the bar as a working principle, to make visible what the division puts into relation. A word transforms into an image when barred and a line becomes a signature once it's crossed out by another.

Founded in 2022, The LetterS pace Department (TLSD) is an artistic entity working across a variety of spaces, with language as a matter of failure and a particular interest in the
interstices, lapses and ellipses. It develops minor models of resistance through parasitic strategies and by exploring the conditions and environments in which it operates. For s̶u̶j̶e̶t̶, these strategies take the form of an exhibition, a publication and a public programme.
