Ann Veronica JanssensSerendipity

This publication derives from Ann Veronica Janssens’ solo exhibition at Wiels, entitled Serendipity, constructed around a set of works outlining her artistic research over the last few decades, hence recent projects and those still in the laboratory phase. As is often the case with Ann Veronica Janssens, the work evaporates or almost entirely physically disappears after its presentation, and only the experiences, the memory of it and its documentation remain to reconstruct or reconfigure the chapters that punctuate the precise and consistent path traced by Ann Veronica Janssens through her work over the past thirty years.
This book thus attempts to account for these phenomena, beginning with photographic documentation of the Serendipity exhibition in the specific spatial context of the premises at Wiels.
