For over two decades, Ots' practice has been focused on collecting, ordering, and recontextualising found materials, archival remnants, and obsolete and cast-aside artifacts, which he reconfigures and combines into vivid installations and assemblages. Though the artist can also be found gleaning materials in alleyways, online marketplaces, personal collections, and even institutional archives, his work is anchored in a sustained engagement with Brussels’ Jeu de Balle flea market (Vossenplein), a constantly changing living archive of urban history, where disparate artifacts from across time and space find themselves, and where informal exchanges take place and micro-histories flow.

This daily routine has sensitized him to unexpected discoveries and aleatory encounters, a deep awareness of not only the latent associations and histories embedded in materials, but also the affective power that objects and images can have, even when detached from context or interpretation.

Comprised of new and recent works, the exhibition emphasizes bold gestures, overwhelming sensations, brutal dynamics, hypnotic repetitions, and an excess of material and meaning, thereby uncovering the psychodynamics integral to his work.

Jurgen Ots was born in 1978 in Dendermonde and lives and works in Brussels. He studied at the Sint-Lukas University College of Art in Brussels, at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, and at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. His work has been exhibited with galleries and institutions worldwide including kunstnerhus (Oslo) kolnischer kunstverhein cologne , Aike (Shanghai), Galleria Zero (Milan), Cabaret Voltaire (Zurich), Centralbanken (Oslo), Etablissement d’en face (Brussels), Kunsthalle (Düsseldorf), BOZAR (Brussels), Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (Warsaw), Ludlow38 (New York), Rencontres d’Arles (France), the National Museum of Iceland (Reykjavik), Fundación Botín (ES), MASS MoCA Massachusetts (USA) and Isabella Bortolozzi (Berlin).
