In recent years, Ronny Delrue corresponded with the following five artists: Martin Assig (Germany), Salam Atta Sabri (Iraq), Roger Ballen (South Africa), Sanjeev Maharjan (Nepal) and Mithu Sen (India). The visual dialogue with Christine Remacle (Belgium), conducted within the framework of Bruges 2002 and the Kanttekening project, can be viewed as having sown the seed for Correspondances.

The exhibition presents a selection of the correspondence between the six artists, supplemented with works by Ronny Delrue. It can be experienced as a journey in which the idea of the artist as an individual, as it were, ‘dissolves’ in a process of co-creation, one that shifts between document and artwork, and between art and life.
