The series Black Mould by Michaël Borremans (b.1963, Geraardsbergen) consists of twentytwo paintings, a number of which will be displayed during The Raft. Art is (not) lonely. The protagonists are anonymous, figures clad in black. They perform mysterious acts, alone or in groups, in a monochrome space reminiscent of an atelier or photo studio. Their ‘facelessness’ allows the spectators to make up their own story.
