Expo: Tilburg: 22/01/2005 - 29/05/2005, Paris :23.06.2005 - 09.10.2005 Since the early nineties, Berlinde De Bruyckere has been working with blankets-woolen blankets that cover and protect-as the material for her sculptures and installations. For De Bruyckere they symbolize not only warmth and shelter, but also vulnerability and fear. Fear that makes people crawl under blankets and vulnerability in situations related to cold, illness, disaster and war. They are the images-from Somalia, Ruanda or Kosovo-which the media show us every day: images from hotbeds of violence which cause the population to flee, to hide or to shiver from cold. Victims are wrapped in blankets. The suffering is covered. In De Bruyckere's studio, such newspaper photographs are present as quiet moments among the day-to-day memoranda. They are often images in which sadness and beauty seem to compete for attention
