Melvin Moti From Dust to Dust

WIELS
19 February – 25 April 2010

With the eye of an amateur detective-historian, and working with an intensity and slowness that is rare among artists of his generation, Dutch artist Melvin Moti (b. 1977) gives form to obscure anecdotes, incidents, and individuals—"black holes" that, as he says, "haven't been contextualized by official historiography."
