Fernanda Fragateiro
We are delighted to present Fernanda Fragateiro’s second solo show at the gallery. Fragateiro’s projects are characterized by a strong interest in rethinking and probing modernist practices. Her practice involves an archaeological approach to the social, political and aesthetic history of modernism through continuous research with material from archives, documents and objects. Acting in the field of three-dimensionality, challenging the tension between architecture and sculpture, Fernanda Fragateiro’s work enhances the relationship with each place, calling the spectator to a performative position. Her minimal sculptural and architectural interventions and installations in unexpected spaces (a monastery, an orphanage, or dilapidated houses) and her subtle changes to existing landscapes reveal buried stories of construction and transformation.

Since 2017, Irène Laub gallery has been exhibiting established artists in its Brussels space and at a selection of international fairs. The gallery features several generations of Belgian and international artists who are either presented solo to offer an immersion into the heart of their practice, or brought together around themes linked to landscape, architecture and intimate or political identities.
The represented artists showcase a wide range of mediums. The gallery is conceived as a space for experimentation, enabling them to test the boundaries of their chosen discipline, by testing the physical nature of the work and its relationship to space, or by exploring the relevance of their creations in the social sphere.
In 2018, the gallery moved to a new location and devoted itself to developing a demanding and ambitious exhibition program, aimed at promoting a fruitful dialogue between artists, curators and institutions.
