This year, KIN is presenting a solo booth of new work by Canadian artist Dan Vogt. Across sculptural formats, Vogt’s work reflects on the figure of the soldier and the nuclear family as enduring “stock characters” shaped by postwar imaginaries and cinema. Moving between representation and fiction, these statues act as almost fill-in-the-blank sculptures — imagery that stands in for socio-political ideology, norms and narratives. The work examines the shared structures of disciplines, responsibility, authority, and play that organise both military and familial frameworks, imagining how these overlapping systems persist within contemporary cultural reality.
Dan Vot (b. 1989) is an Athens-based artist with a BFA from Concordia University in Montreal Canada (2014), and Magister from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2022). Recent exhibitons have been held at KIN Brussels, Shore Gallery. His works explore language, hierarchy, and authority through sculpture and installation.
