Diana Tamane’s work From My Family Album II will be exhibited alongside the works of Tracey Emin, Louise Bourgeois, Félix González-Torres, Marina Abramovič & Ulay, Yoko Ono & John Lennon at the exhibition Love is Louder at Bozar, Brussels.
Love is Louder explores the many facets of love, its tensions, and its various forms. Navigating between the personal and the political, the exhibition will zoom in on three dimensions of love: romantic love, kinship and friendship, and love in a broader social context.
From the Summer of Love of 1967 to today, the exhibition will show how in the last 50 years we have moved beyond the image of the traditional couple or the nuclear family, how friendships shape us and what it means to put love at the heart of society. Discover the work of 80 national and international artists in a wide range of media such as painting, sculpture, video, film and multimedia installations. In times of increasing polarization, the exhibition focuses on what connects us, because: Love is louder.
Diana Tamane (LV/EE, b. 1986) was born in Riga, Latvia, but now lives and works in Tartu, Estonia. Across her projects, she works with family albums, documents and private correspondences to reveal touching autobiographical stories, as well as to paint a broader picture of society and recent history. A graduate of both the Tartu Art College (BA) and the LUCA School of Art in Brussels (MA), Tamane has also been an artist-in-residence at Ghent’s Higher Institute for Fine Arts. Her works are found in the collections of the Latvian National Museum of Art, Fotomuseum Winterthur and Tartu Art Museum.
