AEROPLASTICS Contemporary is an exceptionally eclectic place created for contemporary art in a large 19th Century Brussels townhouse end of 1998, where group and thematic exhibitions alternate with installation and video works. The common thread is the encouragement of work that has an immediate visual accessibility and promotes a language of its own. But the purely aesthetic is in itself not enough, even if the search for a certain beauty and visual immediacy is indispensable and unignorable. As a consequence, Aeroplastics pursues this sort of beauty, simple and unsettling, reductive and discrete, surprising and aggressive, which arouses a reaction in the public. Whether it is positive or negative, the essential thing is that the viewer does not stop at the emotion of the moment. The reaction should prompt a questioning of what one has seen or what one believes one has seen. It is at the very least remarkable that with this strategy they are trying to represent a view of humanity that one hardly comes across in everyday life. It is true that Aeroplastics is a gallery, but the commercial aspect is secondary to its emphasis on asking socio-cultural questions regarding the basic principles of art and its mechanisms. At Aeroplastics one encounters the most diverse artists, all of whom approach the excesses of ³human expression² in a certain ironic way: sex and crossover ; the following fields are often explored : humour and the grotesque, violence and terrorism, mutation and the examines the boundaries of corporality, the down sides of the consumer society politics, and human social stereotypes. The artists at Aeroplastics play with illusion, may be classical or, on the contrary, emphatically multidisciplinary. But at the same time the gallery retains more normal links with a sort of painting and expression that is more accessible to a broader public, that is if it can in any way be part of an approach to constructive eclecticism.
