MARUANI MERCIER - Echoes of her, group show

June 12 - August 30, 2025 at Avenue Louise 430, Brussels 
Public Opening: June 12, 2025 from 5 - 9 pm

With this group exhibition, Echoes of Her, Maruani Mercier aim to explore the multifaceted nature of womanhood and examine its complexity through a diverse selection of works and artists. Seventeen artists, each shaped by distinct cultural, geographical, and personal perspectives, reflect on the layered intricacies of womanhood across different lived realities and social landscapes. Ranging painting, photography, sculpture, and mirrored works that at times quite literally implicate the viewer, the exhibition brings forth meditations on identity, visibility, and the shifting roles women inhabit. How are women perceived in society? And more importantly, how do they see themselves, beyond inherited expectations, projected archetypes, or prescribed narratives? It questions long-held assumptions about the female condition, invites us to look again, and differently, at the images we’ve inherited, and considers how portrayals by both female and male artists can contribute to a more complex, layered understanding of what it means to be a woman. A nuanced dialogue emerges not only between the artists and their subjects, subtly engaging with the legacy of the (male) gaze and the power dynamics embedded in representation, while embracing the richness of self-determined representation.

ABOUT

MARUANI MERCIER was founded in 1995. It represents 23 contemporary artists alongside its museum-quality historical exhibitions, building on the legacy of several renowned estates. Initially, the gallery focused on celebrated American artists from the 1980s, including Ross Bleckner, Francesco Clemente, Ron Gorchov, Peter Halley, Jonathan Lasker, and Sue Williams. Over the years, it embraced a new generation of artists like Radcliffe Bailey, Jaclyn Conley, and Tony Matelli. Its expansion to Knokke and the opening of an exhibition space and residency programme in Zaventem enabled the gallery to introduce artists from West Africa like Kwesi Botchway and Johnson Eziefula. In 2022, a fourth space opened in Knokke to showcase modern masters including Alexander Calder, Le Corbusier, and Joan Miró.
