ART BRUSSEL 2026
At Art Brussels, DMW Gallery presents a solo project by Kaspar Dejong. The booth unfolds as a space shaped through a process of urban mining, where collected and discarded materials are reworked into new constellations, and familiar surfaces begin to shift. Everyday encounters are not merely observed but distilled, gaining a more prominent presence and altered significance.
For Dejong, the city is a continuously rewriting surface, structured yet unstable. Its grid – both cartographic and material – functions as a carrier, a planological framework through which fragments accumulate. He reads this grid as a collection of marks and traces, where unintended encounters form a quiet archive: a shared glance, moss breaking through concrete, a worn piece of wood bearing the imprint of use. These elements operate as residues of lived experience, inviting association through abstraction rather than fixed meaning. Slowing down becomes essential here, as perception opens toward what would otherwise remain overlooked.
A blue pallet, found in the street, became one such fragment. Weathered and inscribed by time, it entered the studio not as neutral matter but as an objet trouvé, already marked by prior existence. Through processes of deconstruction, painting and reassembly, the pallet is neither erased nor fully transformed; rather, its previous life is acknowledged and extended. Its fragments reappear across the works, sometimes preserved in resin, where surface, texture and memory persist in altered states. In this way, the act of selection becomes as significant as intervention, positioning the work between recontextualisation and material continuity.
This approach resonates with the legacy of Dada and the readymades of Marcel Duchamp, where the shift from object to artwork occurs through context and choice. Yet in Dejong’s practice, the found element carries not only conceptual weight but also a tangible accumulation of time, use and surface. The material is not passive; it is already inscribed, already active.
Within the booth, this destabilised mode of seeing takes spatial form. Larger works emphasise gesture and process, functioning as traces of movement and inner states, while smaller works draw the viewer closer, creating a more intimate engagement with surface and detail. Forms hover between abstraction and figuration, resisting resolution. The installation as a whole encourages a slowed, attentive perception, where looking becomes a form of participation. What emerges is not a singular narrative but a field of possibilities – an environment in which fragments, materials and gestures converge, allowing the transient to resonate with something more enduring.
