D53 Before Conversation Fig.323 by Jan De Cock, created in 2006, is a tapestry that presents an abstract architectural blueprint with minimalist precision. The composition consists of thin black lines that trace an intricate geometric structure on a light background, creating an impression of a fragmented architectural plan. Sparse elements, including small rectangular and triangular shapes, seem to float around the main form, adding to the sense of disassembly and incompletion. This piece invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between structure and space, reflecting De Cock’s fascination with architectural forms and their aesthetic deconstruction. The tapestry’s restrained design emphasizes spatial relationships, abstraction, and the conceptual depth behind architectural blueprints.

Jan De Cock (Belgium, 1976) is a contemporary visual artist known for his large-scale, site-specific installations that explore the relationship between art, architecture, and space. His work often references modernist aesthetics and challenges traditional notions of sculpture. De Cock founded The Brussels Art_ Institute, a multidisciplinary workspace fostering collaboration between artists and educational institutions.

To me, Modernism is the most important period in art history.
- Jan De Cock

As a visual artist, Jan De Cock creates installations where the creation itself is part of the exhibition. Many of his works include performance and feature his own photography. He uses 20th century abstract art techniques to explore the effects of modern design and mass production on the world of art. A number of his works use the word Denkmal in the title, which means “monument” in German. However in his native language of Dutch, Denkmal has a different meaning: denk “to think” and mal “to mold”. Therefore his works are said to spark different ways to think and look at his subjects instead of having a singular meaning. Jan De Cock is considered a modernist artist, and his works explore the ways an artist can relate to the modernist approach. He lives and works in Belgium where he is only the second Belgian artist to present an exhibition at the Tate Modern in London. (Artist website)
