[Marcel Dzama](https://flaunt.com/content/marcel-dzama-a-werewolf-moon-a-tight-rope-to-the-afterlife?rq=marcel%20dzama), the creator of the cover art of Flaunt’s Fall issue, [The Chaos and Calm Issue](https://flaunt.com/store/r6buf3gvz9do0zkx2j4l43h9f853yw), is now presenting his firs solo show at Tim Van Laere Gallery in Antwerp, Belgium. The show, titled _The Moon is Following Me,_ includes a wide selection of drawings, sculptures, dioramas and film that flaunt a universe of childhood fantasies and otherworldly fairy tales that are always familiar in Dzama’s works. Equally influenced by folk vernacular, art-historical, and contemporary forces, this exhibition presents drawings with more hopeful themes, "because the Trump years were so traumatizing” says Dzama, and “most of the work \[was\] made during lockdown both because of the pandemic but also because of rioting after George Floyd’s death.” _The Moon is Following Me_ by Marcel Dzama will be on display at [Tim Van Laere Gallery, Antwerp](https://www.timvanlaeregallery.com/contact) from January 21 to March 6 2021 and see Marcel’s feature in the Chaos and Calm issue of _Flaunt_ [here](https://flaunt.com/content/marcel-dzama-a-werewolf-moon-a-tight-rope-to-the-afterlife)!
