_____
Navigating between contemporary art and the chamber of wonders, Da-End gallery (Paris) and Jonathan F. Kugel gallery (Brussels) both share a common sensibility for all forms of singular, powerful and fearsome beauty. Who better to embody their second collaboration (after a first edition in Brussels in September 2021) than the figure of the Medusa?
Hypnotising, seductive or terrifying, the Medusa - a mythological character, an underwater animal and even a planetary nebula - fascinates as much as it repels. The exhibition Mέδουσα | Scyphozoa, which brings together nearly twenty artists in all mediums, selected by the two partner galleries, oscillates between these dissonances with the idea of transcending commonly held beliefs about attraction-repulsion.
