It’s alive, alive!!! This September, Mette Sterre will transform W139 into a haunted house. In an era where the politics of fear are constantly evolving, we find ourselves grappling with the question: Are we thriving while surviving, or merely surviving while trying to thrive?

The exhibition will be a journey through moving matters, quantum entanglements, and a monstrous ballroom of the female grotesque and gut-wrenching spectacle. The tactile disruptions of Mette Sterre—in a new body of work that delves deep into the body itself—blends with works from artists that draw inspiration from monstrous beauty, haunted bodies and fantastic minds.

Mette Sterre studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy, Central St Martins and at the Rijksakademie. She develops sculptural body masks which become the foundation for performances, installations and films, and is known for her sense-provoking installations.

“One need not be a chamber, to be haunted; One need not be a house; The brain, has corridors surpassing material place”.
