Danny Devos (also known from the industrial collective Club Moral) is an influential Belgian artist working in performance, body art, installations and industrial music since the late 1970s. He explores existential, social and artistic border situations and confrontation with his audience. He created 160 performances, many dealing with endurance, personal danger and psychological terror. His 1990s sculptures and installations are inspired by true crime, for which he corresponded with several multiple murderers in Belgium and the U.S.A.
These performances are now compiled in the book "Performan-DDV 1979-2011".
You can see an expo "A study of the happiest man alive" up until 4th of march in Galerie Annie Gentils. In a labyrinth, he presents studies and sculptures of famous criminals.
For the quick ones, tonight Danny wil have an open discussion at Cinema Zuid with professor Paul De Hert and writer Yves Petri about "The man who ate his lover", a documentary about the german cannibal Armin Meiwes. Yes that is tonight at 20h!!!
