In varying degrees of visibility and presence, meetsysteem combined the work of three artists. Jacques Lizène, gerlach en koop, and Nora Turato share an idiosyncratic attitude and an interest in the mechanisms of language and image. As the self-proclaimed ‘Minor Master of Mediocrity of Liège’, peripheral thinking is central to the work of Jacques Lizène, and to the exhibition.
