The eighth solo show by Jan Fabre at the gallery, 'Is the brain the most sexy part of the body?', was an exhibition with almost exclusively new works. It was the artists first show after the opening of his show at the Louvre. Fabre has not been out of the picture for the last couple of years. The Homo Faber series of events in 2006 in Antwerp, his work at the festival d'Avignon as artistic director and his exhibition at the Louvre, for which the artist was given carte blanche in the Richelieu wing of the museum, are just some highlights in a career that is hardly equalled by any other contemporary artist from the Belgian scene. A remarkable element in this career, which has become more evident since widespread recognition enabled the artist even more to achieve this goal, is Fabre's constant cross-over between theatre and visual arts, between different genres within both, and between the visual arts of old and modern traditions and his own work. With for example 'Battlefields and Beekeepers', 'Umbraculum', 'A Meeting' (with Ilya Kabakov), and 'Turtles and Landscapes', Deweer Art Gallery has documented every major thematical step Fabre took in the development of his work, often while also showing less known aspects or unknown works. Some models in the exhibition at the Flemish Parliament in Brussels in 2006, 'Kijkdozen en Denkmodellen', already hinted at Fabre's preoccupation with the brains. As the next form of investigation into the poetical possibilities of the body - a leading thread within his oeuvre, the theme of the brains was something Fabre continued to explore through drawings, models, and a video of a conversation with the American biologist Edward O. Wilson, a personal hero of the artist. The video was part of the exhibition in the upper hall, as well as a new large 'brain'model. The exhibition hall downstairs was taken up by a monumental installation and four smaller models. A number of new drawings were spread across both floors.
