In their first solo exhibition Een Stelling, Dora Brams (b. 2000, Antwerp) questions the role of the art object as a temporary placeholder. Brams zeroes in on the grey zones between accessibility and inaccessibility of institutions as their subject. Government buildings such as the Royal Palace, the Palace of Justice, and the Palace of the Nation serve as spatial examples of this authoritarian contradiction. Brams uses temporary, functional objects (such as trestles, coat racks, and notice boards) which, in their reinforcing function, also obstruct. A central image are the endless hallways of the Palace of Justice, where one navigates past furniture that blocks off corridors and doors.

For this exhibition, forty chairs, les chaises volantes, have been loaned from the Royal Palace. Normally, they function as an accessible, inviting version of a royal piece of furniture. Through installation and the appropriation of these specific elements and visual language, Brams exposes parallels between the bureaucratic order of state institutions and the (unwritten) rules of the art world.
