Phidias, named after the sculptor from ancient Greece, is a contemporary foundation. Its scope of action is primordially focused on the promotion of young visual artists who live and work in Flanders. With METAMORPHOSIS III', Pidias continues its function on an international level, which started in 1999.
For METAMORPHOSIS III', Phidias elected five artists who each of them use their own visual language, and take sitinct views. Those views aren't always easy to grasp, they demand, and take, time to comprehend. Yves Coussement, Ellen de Meutter, Nick Ervinck, Wesley Meuris and Els Opsomer are on the road together ... Each of them are personalities within the collective, and each of them is going to convey their view on the world, and suggest a key, a way for us to join them in the experience.
