At the end of 2008 Michel François had received carte blanche from the S.M.A.K. to determine the exhibition programme in two galleries for more than a year.
François chose two identical exhibition rooms and named his project Faux Jumeaux (false twins). He asked 15 people to each select two works of art which, although very similar with regard to form or material, were created independently. Which similarities or differences between the two works come to light when ‘mirrored’ in the two identical galleries?
The ninth "Faux Jumeaux" in succession which Frank Maes added to the exhibition arrangement Hans Theys set up in June 2009. He selected Modèle: la pipe (1969) by Marcel Broodthaers on the one hand, and on the other hand Cooperative: la pipe (1923) by Le Corbusier. Is there a link between the two?
