This exhibition and publication follow the public presentation of Mekhitar Garabedian’s sculpture Import – Export, Friperie (2022) in the Antwerp Stadspark from May 2022 to April 2023. The sculpture is the fourth in the “Public Figure” series commissioned by Samuel Saelemakers, curator of the Antwerp Public Art Collection (Collectie Kunst in de Stad – Middelheimmuseum), which invites artists to make new work in response to the question “Who or what do we put on a pedestal today?”.
It coincides with the eponymous book Import – Export, Friperie (2023), published by Occasional Papers (occasionalpapers.org).

Some images from “Empathy” (working title).
Some images I printed on a risocom printer meant to be read back first, I’ve been trying to use the tactility of print and thinking about how I want photographs to be read and I finally got to some point where I wanted to share some images I’ve been working on lately.
very very proud of what we did these last couple of months at @ponti.space .Super exciting and humbling experience to work together with all these amazing people/artists/friends. Taking a short break until september now. merci merci to everybody involved.
