Nguyen Trinh Thi at Countour Biennale, Belgium
Contour Biennale 8 departs from the historic grounds of the Great
Council, established in Mechelen during the fifteenth century; an
emblematic reminder of the court architecture that first sought to
address the Low Countries through rational jurisprudence. From the vestiges of this judicial infrastructure,
the biennale investigates the field of social justice and its
implements as media archaeology, such that justice itself is considered a
“medium” that is simultaneously a performative, ethical, and aesthetic
operation.
