Peter Downsbrough: Palais des Beaux-Arts - Brussels - Brief Article

In the late 60s NewJersey--born Peter Downsbrough dispensed with the production of traditional art objects in favor of a phenomenological exploration of space, through photography, site-specific interventions, and artist's books as well as audio works and CD-ROMs. Downsbrough has received numerous solo exhibitions, and now he gets his full due with a two-hundred-odd-work retrospective in his adopted hometown, curared by Marie-Therese Champesme.

If you can't get to Brussels, a major monograph (with essays by Champesme, UCLA Hammer chief curator Russell Ferguson, and art historians Christian Besson and Marjorie Welish) is in the works.June 25-Sept. 7; Espace de l'Art Concret, Monans-Sartoux, France, Oct.; Muzeum Sztuki, Lodz, Poland, May 2004; MAMCO, Geneva, fall 2004.
