Location: stable no 51

Géricault has fascinated Luc Tuymans (b. 1958, Mortsel) for many years. The French painter was barely 32 years old when he died – according to some sources, he succumbed to tuberculosis, others claim an accident in a horse’s stall caused his death – and Tuymans plays into that biographical aspect by exhibiting the work in the riding stables at the hippodrome. He shows a fragment from a new stop-motionfilm.

Luc Tuymans will also present other fragments fron the same animation at Mercator.
