ANYONE ELSE ISN’T YOU IN BRUSSELS
Our moving image artwork Anyone else isn’t you will be on loan from the Tate Collection for the exhibition Love is Louder at BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels.
Anyone else isn’t you is an unscripted portrait of fourteen young people talking directly to the camera about love and loss, using the premise of the homemade compilation music cassette, often known as a ‘mixtape’, as a trigger. The subjects, oscillate between moments of brash self-confidence and crushing uneasiness. They share stories about their lives and lovers, sometimes unrequited and sometimes love lost. They all emphasise their need to make connections to others through the music they love and share. The mixtape acts as a powerful device, each of these tiny collections of songs operating as a souvenir of a remembered person and time.

The exhibition, subtitled 80 artists look at love from the late ‘60s to today, explores the many facets of love, its tensions, and its various forms. Navigating between the personal and the political, the exhibition will zoom in on three dimensions of love: romantic love, kinship and friendship, and love in a broader social context.
From the Summer of Love of 1967 to today, the exhibition will show how in the last 50 years we have moved beyond the image of the traditional couple or the nuclear family, how friendships shape us and what it means to put love at the heart of society. Discover the work of 80 national and international artists in a wide range of media such as painting, sculpture, video, film and multimedia installations. In times of increasing polarization, the exhibition focuses on what connects us, because: Love is louder.
