Maria Blondeel: upcoming book and exhibitions

The artist’s publication ‘95G_DOKA’, to be published by Posture Editions in November 2026, features a series of photograms by Maria Blondeel.
The 72 photograms were created by placing objects on light-sensitive diazo paper and exposing them to daylight in Maria’s studio. Where the objects shield the paper from sunlight, the characteristic purple-blue colour emerges. 
The book will be available from 12 November.

To mark the publication of the book, two exhibitions are being held and a number of events have been planned. At both exhibitions, Maria is showing remasters and masters of her light and sound installation G-Project. In the Annex gallery in Sint-Niklaas, the complete series of 72 diazotypes will be on display, as well as a number of artefacts from her archive.
