_____________________________________________________________________________
 
Hilde Overbergh (°1964, Leuven) studied painting in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the 1980s before relocating to Belgium in 1991.  She currently resides and works in Leuven. Her work has been shown internationally in Los Angeles, Berlin, and Tehran, and nationally in venues like Kunsthal De Garage (Mechelen), Emergent (Veurne), Art Brussels, and in Whitehouse Gallery (Brussels). It is part of private and public collections such as the Flemish Community, Museum M Leuven, and the Belfius Collection.
Hilde Overbergh’s practice is of a special kind. She starts from painting, but we should no longer think of an easel, a stretcher, brushes and tubes of paint. What she creates are not classical paintings but painterly images, and how are they created? In many different ways, and above all very unconventionally. With Hilde Overbergh, nothing is predetermined; her art is fluid and always in motion. In her painting practice, she never starts with a blank canvas that can be transformed into a world of paint from nothing. On the contrary, she always starts with something that already exists, with a history that is visible in traces of use that tell their own story. She looks around her carefully and embraces what is thrown into her lap, and then she takes up the fight. As if she has to tame what already exists and subject it to the laws of the image that slowly but surely appears before her eyes. Seeing the visual potential of found material is one thing, but confronting and connecting all those existing traces until a new and autonomous image emerges is the real battle.

Stéphanie Baechler (°1983, Meyriez, CH) lives and works in Amsterdam. She has exhibited at MAHF, Fribourg, Chamber Gallery New York, Kunsthalle Fri Art Fribourg, Kunsthaus Centre d’art Pasquart Biel, Sankt Gallen in Switzerland, Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam and Mode Museum Antwerpen, among others. Her works are in public collections such as HEAD Geneva, Museum für Gestaltung Zürich and MAHF Fribourg and in many private collections.
Whilst in search of texture and form, the works refrain from a nostalgic approach. There is certainly an anxious appraisal unfolding, of digital life and the incursion of screens into our personal domains, but it is less dismissive than curious. Stéphanie doesn’t destroy the cloud(s) but arranges it in different forms: she weaves it a face, casts it, asks what material might hold it down. She moves the online agenda off-screen but doesn’t delete it; its familiar virtual grid materialises as a paravent, a room divide, this temporary architecture assigning it an authoritative substance. She takes the loaded buttons that we click daily – ADD TIME, ADD LOCATION – and articulates them as singular and static in thread. Through these gestures, the show rewires its anxiety into an exploratory material study.

Cas-co NIEUWS: februari – Start van het nieuwe seizoen

👀 English version 👀

FEBRUARI

Welkom p.o.l.e Collective

Off the Grid is zeer verheugd om deze maand haar nieuwe residenten te verwelkomen, die tot eind mei hun praktijk bij Cas-co zullen ontwikkelen!

De kunstenaars, Stans Vrijsen & Sofia Boubolis, evenals het collectief p.o.l.e (met Matilde Bassetti, Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust, Marcos Nacar en Mallaury Scala), werden geselecteerd uit 213 aanmeldingen. Wij heten hen van harte welkom!

RESIDENTEN

Off the Grid

p.o.l.e is een inter­dis­ci­pli­nair col­lec­tief dat zich toe­legt op expe­ri­men­teel artis­tiek onder­zoek gesi­tu­eerd op het snij­vlak van per­for­man­ce, beel­den­de kunst en cura­tori­ë­le prak­tijk. De groep, opge­richt in 2024 door Matilde Bassetti, Darius Dolatyari-Dolatdoust, Marcos Nacar en Mallaury Scala, is werk­zaam in België, Duitsland en Frankrijk. Ze cre­ë­ren tij­de­lij­ke labo­ra­to­ria tij­dens resi­den­ties, waar mate­ri­ë­le expe­ri­men­ten en artis­tie­ke metho­do­lo­gie­ën col­lec­tief kun­nen wor­den getest en ver­vol­gens met een publiek wor­den gedeeld. 

Stans & Sofia is een artis­tiek duo gevormd door Stans Vrijsen en Sofia Boubolis. Werkend tus­sen mate­ri­aals­i­mu­la­tie en spe­cu­la­tief onder­zoek, gebrui­ken ze schil­der­kunst, teke­nin­gen, instal­la­ties en archief frag­men­ten om de rela­tie tus­sen mate­rie en her­in­ne­ring te ver­ken­nen. Voor hun resi­den­tie bij Cas-co onder­zoe­ken ze de depot­col­lec­tie van Museum M , met de focus op onge­do­cu­men­teer­de of ver­waar­loos­de objec­ten. Door mid­del van recon­struc­tie en uit­vin­ding stelt hun werk vra­gen bij de bewa­ring, her­den­king of het stil­zwij­gen van geschiedenissen. Waar som­mi­gen lou­ter over­blijf­se­len uit het ver­le­den zien, zijn Stans & Sofia geïn­te­res­seerd in het poten­ti­eel van de objec­ten voor pro­jec­tie: wat deze nog kun­nen acti­ve­ren, ver­plaat­sen of tot stand brengen.

Deze kunstenaars presenteren op 13 mei het resultaat van hun residenties. Beide presentaties zullen te bezoeken zijn tot en met 31 mei.

Studio Vaartstraat & Minckelers

Het nieuwe jaar begint met de komst van drie nieuwe kunstenaars bij Cas-co: Pol Olivier Matanda, Frances Joossens en Iffy Tillieu. De Cas-community is erg blij hen in Leuven te mogen verwelkomen en kijkt ernaar uit om met hen samen te werken!

Pol Olivier en Frances krijgen hun atelier in Studio Vaartstraat, terwijl Iffy tot begin april als resident bij Minckelers verblijft. Daarna verhuist ze naar een groter atelier in Studio Maakleerplek. De komende weken stellen we hen voor via onze website en social media.

Kom gerust langs bij Cas-co tijdens onze publieksevenementen om onze residenten te ontmoeten.

We maken ken­nis met hun artis­tie­ke prak­tijk en de doel­stel­lin­gen die zij tij­dens de resi­den­tie wil­len rea­li­se­ren. Er is ruim­te voor inter­ac­tie, dia­loog en uit­wis­se­ling. Drankjes zijn aanwezig!

Bezoekersprogramma

Een nieuw seizoen betekent ook een nieuw programma met lezingen en atelierbezoeken, afgestemd op de behoeften van onze residenten.

Rosa Tyhurst is een cura­tor uit Zuid-Wales en is woon­ach­tig in Londen. Ze werkt als cura­tor bij Gasworks, waar ze in samen­wer­king met ande­ren een pro­gram­ma van ten­toon­stel­lin­gen, resi­den­ties, publie­ke pro­gram­ma’s en par­ti­ci­pa­tie­pro­jec­ten ont­werpt en rea­li­seert. Vooraleer Gasworks op haar pad kwam, werk­te ze bij Nottingham Contemporary en bij Spike Island in Bristol.

Finissage this Saturday exhibition Nancy Moreno – Mina Enowaki- Ara Méndez Murillo

Posted on

 
Visit us during the last days of this exhibition
 

Thu – Fr – Sat, 1 – 6 PM
 

Ara Méndez Murillo
 
 
_____________________________________________________________________________
 
Ara Méndez Murillo (°1997, Cordoba, ES, lives and works in Brussels) extracts meaning and symbolism from spontaneous sceneries she encounters, which she conveys in her paintings through bright colours, special light/shadow effects, smart compositions, and playfully assembled objects, figures and landscapes. While she was formally trained in painting during her bachelor in Fine Arts at the University of Seville (Spain), her artistic direction – both technically and narratively – crystallised during her years in Brussels. At La Cambre, her visual language expanded in scale and nuance. Represented by Whitehouse Gallery, Murillo showcased her works in previous exhibitions (‘A light’s narrative’, 2022; ‘The other team’, 2024) and art fairs. 
 
Mina Enowaki (°1998, Annnecy, FR, lives and works in Brussels) grew up between the mountains of the French Alps and spent her summers in Osaka (Japan) – a dual heritage that forms the foundation of her artistic practice. Her work draws from these contrasting environments: French landscapes and neighbourhoods on the one hand, Japanese folklore on the other. Photography, her first artistic love and the focus of her studies in Lausanne (Switzerland), remains the conceptual base of her artistic practice, which is multidisciplinary at heart. Since then, she has expanded her skills through classical painting training at La Cambre in Brussels and through residencies at Fondation Moonens and Fondation CAB, where sculpture, mixed media and textile became central to her evolving visual language. The bronze sculptures presented at Whitehouse Gallery are the culmination of this multidisciplinary trajectory.

 
Nancy Moreno’s (°1990, Montauban, FR, lives and works in Brussels) paintings captivate viewers through both technique and subject matter. She graduated from La Cambre in 2014, with a specialisation in drawing. Represented by Whitehouse Gallery – where she exhibited previous bodies of work in 2019 (‘Déréalisation’) and 2023 (‘Buzz’) – Moreno now continues to expand her distinctive visual language. Mixing resin with oil paints, she builds up her paintings through multiple translucent layers of paint. Each layer requires roughly two weeks to dry before another can be added, stretching the process over long periods of time. Echoing the optical logic of Old Masters like Jan van Eyck, this method produces an illusion of depth and perspective – giving the works their characteristic soft and slightly blurred appearance. She draws inspiration from lived experiences and from imagination and dream-like visions. She paints surreal and bizarre images that stem from a deep fascination for certain themes and concepts. The motif of the bunny, for instance, is drawn from Moreno’s symbolic language, personifying fear and symbolising unknown worlds on the one hand, and appearing cute and endearing on the other.

January Interjection: Other Side – Travis Jeppesen

Travis Jeppesen is an American writer and artist living in Berlin. His books include Settlers Landing, Bad Writing, Poems I Wrote While Watching TV, See You Again in Pyongyang, and Victims. He is known as the creator of object-oriented writing, a metaphysical approach to art writing that attempts to inhabit the art object. His first major object-oriented writing project, 16 Sculptures, took the form of an audio installation and was featured in the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and later, as a solo exhibition at Wilkinson Gallery in London, and finally published in book format by Publication Studio. A former editor at Artforum and Art in America, he is the recipient of an Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. His calligraphic and text-based artwork has been exhibited internationally. From 2019 to 2022, he served as assistant professor at the Institute for Cultural and Creative Industry at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where he helped establish an MFA program in Curating. In 2023, his play Ghosts of the Landwehr Canal was premiered to critical acclaim at the Berliner Ringtheater. His new collection of short stories and fictocriticism, For Those Who Hate a Little Bit of Everything, is out in 2026 from Schism.

This year’s Interjection Calendar is edited by Christopher Whitfield.

February Interjection: How Does the Voice Travel? – Cole Lu

Cole Lu (b. Taipei) lives and works in New York. Working across sculpture, installation, drawing, and writing, Lu’s practice explores myth, memory, and the architectures of displacement. His work engages material translation through wood burning, fire, linen, copper, found objects, and concrete, activating poetics of survival, orientation, and coded refusal. Language operates not only as text but as texture, carving lexicons into matter and myth into structure.

Lu has presented solo and two-person exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art at MECA (Portland), Herald St (London), Each Modern (Taipei), and the Bangkok Art Biennale. His work will be featured in upcoming 2026 exhibitions at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University (Cambridge) and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Recent group exhibitions include Aranya Art Center (Qinhuangdao), Kunsthal N (Copenhagen), Bortolami (New York), Tina Kim Gallery (New York), and Nova Contemporary (Bangkok).

His writing has appeared in Coffee House Press, Inpatient Press, and WONDER, with forthcoming work from Montez Press. His work is held in the collections of DIB Bangkok Museum and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Library, and has been featured in Frieze, Artforum, Flash Art, ArtReview, and ArtAsiaPacific.

He was recently Artist-in-Residence at Bangkok Kunsthalle.

Guest edited by Christopher Whitfield.

New year, new Pfeil! Pfeil Magazine #19 is now available for preorder via our website.

All preorders will include a previous Pfeil for free to help you get your collection started. 

There is no pause without prior exertion, and this issue of the magazine explores rest and all its associated contexts and contradictions. Amidst increasing environmental pollution, a tenuous global political climate, and a performance-oriented society demanding ever-greater productivity, the balance between rest and labour becomes skewed. Pausing carries the risk of falling behind, but this risk can be mitigated by knowing when to rest. This issue examines rest as activity and as resistance. It questions how the individual body, in cohesion with a community, can generate weight through relaxation and distribute it.

Featuring contributions by: Asma Ben Slama, Camila Cañeque, Christiane Blattmann, Eileen Myles, Federico Tosi, Gelare Khoshgozaran, Hanne Loreck, Hans-Christian Dany, Hyemin Yang, Ingrid Jäger, Jenni Bohn, Jochen Lempert, Julia Schulze Darup, Mariona Berenguer, Matthias Schubert, Mikołaj Sobczak, Mirene Arsanios, Nat Raha, Nicholas Grafia, Niclas Riepshoff, Omar Hahad, Sarah Drath, Stacy Skolnik, Thomas Laprade, and Vir Andres Hera.

Q-O2 news :: An Archipelago

Posted on


 workspace for experimental music and sound art

An Archipelago

An archipelago may be in an ocean, a sea, a smaller body of water, or a newsletter: six islands of news items, yet not isolated from each other, but gathered in the same ocean, each with its own “root identity” (freely based on Édouard Glissant, by Sonia Saroya & Édouard Sufrin). Sonia Saroya is sharing insights from Derniers Souffles, her ongoing collaborative research project with Édouard Sufrin this Friday. She has been working on the sound installation L’archipel (The archipelago), which will be exhibited during Oscillation ::: from the Mothership. Having only partially recovered from the last Second Sundays with Rhodri Davies, we are already announcing the next one, with Q-O2 ultra-regulars fabonthemoon & Benoit Deuxant. We are excited to announce another series of monthly gatherings (for the coming 6 months), in the form of Sacred Harp singing sessions, instigated by Francesca Hawker and Marialena Marouda. Lastly, the deadline for our annual open call for emerging sound artists is fast approaching, as is our yearly festival, for which we are still looking for people who rent out guest rooms to artists who come to perform.

Post-residency presentation
13 February – 18h – @Q-O2 – free
Sonia Saroya
After the first part of her residency, Sonia Saroya shares insights from Derniers Souffles, an ongoing collaborative research project with Édouard Sufrin. During an open studio visit, she invites the public into conversation for an exchange of ideas.
Derniers Souffles, a research-creation project initiated in 2021, explores the acoustic characteristics of old electronic components, their mineral origins, and the industrial processes required for their fabrication. During their residency, they will work on L’archipel (The Archipelago), which will be exhibited during Oscillation ::: from the Mothership.

Singing Session
17 February – 18h-21h – @Q-O2 – free upon registration
Beginners’ Beginning Sacred Harp w/ Francesca Hawker & Marialena Marouda
A season of 6 singings. Sacred Harp is a tradition of shape-note music originating in 19th century Appalachia. “Shape-note” emerged as a way of teaching people without any formal musical literacy, and without any shared doctrinal commitments, to sing quickly and in large quantities.
Following on from their first Beginner’s Beginning Sacred Harp workshops at Q-O2 and at the Performing Arts Forum (PAF) last summer, Francesca Hawker and Marialena Marouda are instigating a series of 6 Sacred Harp sessions Brussels: as beginners for beginners! Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a keen singer or have never sung before. All sessions 18.00 – 21.00, on 17/02, 24/03, 21/04, 19/05, 16/06, and 7/07; registration via [More info]

Open Call

Het samenwerkingsproject The Broken Pitcher van Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Marina Christodoulidou en Peter Eramian is momenteel te zien in de Appel. Bezoek de tentoonstelling tussen woensdagen en zondagen, 14:00–20:00! 

De tentoonstelling kijkt naar het banksysteem en de mogelijkheden om de interactie daarmee te veranderen. Het project bestaat uit een schaalmodel op ware grootte van de bankruimte, dat zowel fungeert als tentoonstellingsruimte en decor voor een 70 minuten durende film die een scène in een bank reconstrueert. The Broken Pitcher wordt dagelijks vertoond in de tentoonstellingsruimte gedurende openingstijden. De film begint om 14:00, 15:15, 16:30 en 17:45 uur (de aanvangstijden kunnen enigszins variëren). ‣ Plan je bezoek
 
 

The Broken Pitcher Forum: Filmvertoning & lezing
📌  Zondag 15 februari 2026, 19:00–21:00 uur in Filmtheater Kriterion

Sequence Still
Videobeeld uit hetvrijearchief.net
Als onderdeel van The Broken Pitcher Forum organiseren we in Kriterion voor een avond die film- en archiefpraktijken samenbrengt die ingaan op vluchten, ontheemding en collectief verzet in Amsterdam. Aan de hand van een filmvertoning en een lezing volgt het programma hoe stedelijke ruimtes plaatsen worden van overleven, strijd en herontdekking, waarbij bewegingen rond huisvesting, migratie en het creëren van een thuis aan bod komen.

Transit Levantkade (1990) van Rosemarie Blank is een gestileerd documentaireportret van de Levantkade in Amsterdam en de ‘stedelijke nomaden’ die eind jaren tachtig hun toevlucht zochten in dit niemandsland, dat sindsdien is getransformeerd tot het gentrificatieproject KNSM-eiland. hetvrijearchief.net is een samenwerking tussen Luna Hupperetz en Kenneth Geurts. Het Vrije Archief Nieuwmarkt is een autonoom archief dat het activisme van de Aktiegroep Nieuwmarkt (1967-1976) tegen de naoorlogse stadsplanning van Amsterdam documenteert. ‣ Meer info & tickets
 
 

Amsterdam – Šempas: archiefpresentatie Works and Words & OHO
📌  Te zien gedurende de hele maand februari tijdens de reguliere openingstijden.

IMG small

de Appel Archief opent in februari met de lancering van de nieuwe The Remote Archivist en een aansluitende vitrine-presentatie in de bibliotheek van de Appel. De presentatie is gebaseerd op een geluidsband uit het archief van Works and Words, een internationale kunstmanifestatie die van 20 tot 30 september 1979 door de Appel werd georganiseerd: een opname van een lezing die Annosh Urbanke aan Marko Pogačnik kon toeschrijven. Je kan de presentatie bezoeken tijdens onze reguliere openingstijden. ‣ Meer informatie
 
 

Open Call: de Appel Kiosk, zomer 2026
SnapInsta to
Foto: Nikola Lamburov

We verwelkomen voorstellen voor de komende zomereditie van de Appel Kiosk! Als onderdeel van de structurele thematiek van de Appel voor de komende jaren verkennen we alternatieve, kleinschalige (kunst-)economieën, waarbij we ons zowel bezighouden met specifieke locaties zoals straatmarkten, als met bredere vragen over financiering en institutionele autonomie.

Voor de komende editie in het voorjaar/zomer van 2026 is de Appel op zoek naar kunstenaars of collectieven die in Nederland gevestigd zijn, om een project te ontwikkelen voor onze marktkraam. Het project dient in te gaan op vragen over straatmarkten en/of de kunsteconomie, en de bezoekers van de markt aan te spreken. Aangezien we ons bewust zijn van de beperkte tijd, raden we je aan om na te denken over reeds ontwikkelde werken die kunnen worden aangepast aan de marktcontext. Het project kan elke vorm aannemen die je geschikt acht (performance, workshops, grafische kunst, lezingen, objecten, toneelstukken, video’s enz.), maar houd rekening met een beperkt productiebudget. ‣ Lees de volledige open call

Kunst und KI: Künstliche Intelligenz für die Entschlüsselung des Gehirns
Online-Vortrag mit Holger Otten und Dr. Christian Schiffer (Teamleiter “Large-scale AI for Brain Mapping”, Forschungszentrum Jülich) in deutscher Sprache
Donnerstag, 19. Februar 2026, 15 Uhr
Zugang über: http://kurzlinks.de/fz-juelich

Seit den 1990er Jahren setzt Künstlerin und Filmemacherin Shu Lea Cheang (neue) digitale Technologien als Werkzeuge und Themen in ihren Arbeiten ein. Künstliche Intelligenz ist dabei ein zentraler Aspekt, der auch bei den im Ludwig Forum zu sehenden „vernetzten Landschaften“, wie Cheang ihre Multimedia-Installationen selbst nennt, verhandelt wird. Nach einer Einführung von Kurator Holger Otten zur aktuellen Ausstellung Shu Lea Cheang. Kiss Kiss Kill Kill beleuchtet Dr. Christian Schiffer (Teamleiter „Large-scale AI for Brain Mapping“, Forschungszentrum Jülich) den Nutzen und Einsatz von KI aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Dabei wird er aktuelle und zukünftige Entwicklungen von KI-Methoden zur Untersuchung der strukturellen Organisation des Gehirns vorstellen.

Dr. Christian Schiffer leitet das Team „Large-scale AI for Brain Mapping“ am INM-1 des Forschungszentrum Jülich sowie die gleichnamige Nachwuchsgruppe des Helmholtz AI Netzwerks der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft. Seine Arbeit liegt an der Schnittstelle von Künstlicher Intelligenz, Supercomputing und Neurowissenschaften. Dabei konzentriert er sich auf die Entwicklung innovativer KI-Methoden zur Analyse der strukturellen Organisation des Gehirns anhand großer mikroskopischer Bilddatensätze und deren effiziente Implementierung auf Supercomputing-Systemen.

Die Veranstaltung findet in Kooperation mit der vhs Aachen anlässlich der Ausstellung Shu Lea Cheang. Kiss Kiss Kill Kill statt.

Art and AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Decoding of the Brain
Online Lecture with Holger Otten and Dr Christian Schiffer (Team Leader “Large-scale AI for Brain Mapping”, Forschungszentrum Jülich)
Thursday, 19 February 2026, 3pm

Since the 1990s artist and filmmaker Shu Lea Cheang has dealt with (emerging) digital technologies as theme and tool in her works. Artificial intelligence is a central aspect in this context and is addressed in the interconnected ‘landscapes formations’ on view at the Ludwig Forum, as Cheang herself describes her multimedia installations. After an introduction by curator Holger Otten to the current exhibition Shu Lea Cheang. Kiss Kiss Kill Kill, Dr. Christian Schiffer will highlight the benefits and applications of AI from a scientific perspective. He will present current and future developments of AI methods for investigating the structural organisation of the brain.

Dr Christian Schiffer leads the INM-1 team “Large-scale AI for Brain Mapping” at Forschungszentrum Jülich as well as the eponymous junior research group of the Helmholtz AI Network within the Helmholtz community. His work lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, supercomputing, and neuroscience. He focuses on developing innovative AI methods for analysing the structural organisation of the brain using large microscopic image datasets, as well as their efficient implementation on supercomputing systems.

The event is taking place in cooperation with vhs Aachen accompanying the exhibition Shu Lea Cheang. Kiss Kiss Kill Kill. The lecture will be held in German.

Open Call: de Appel Curatorial Programme 2026/27

Posted on

de Appel nodigt kandidaten uit om zich aan te melden voor het Curatorial Programme 2026/27, een tien maanden durend programma waarin een kleine, internationale groep deelnemers samen studeert, reist, onderzoek doet en een curatorieel project ontwikkelt in Amsterdam.

Het Curatorial Programme van de Appel in Amsterdam is een van de eerste curatoriële programma’s ter wereld, in 1994 opgericht zodat opkomende curatoren praktijkervaring op kunnen doen, naast hun theoretische studie. Wat het programma onderscheidt, is de kleine groepsgrootte en de sterke nadruk op collectieve praktijkervaring. Deelnemers reizen samen, ontmoeten kunstenaars en cultuurbeoefenaars en bouwen duurzame relaties op, terwijl ze onderzoeken hoe ze publieke culturele programma’s vorm kunnen geven door samen een project te cureren bij de Appel en daarbuiten.

De editie 2026/27 is gericht op een reeks onderling verbonden thema’s en praktijken waarmee de Appel zich bezighoudt: grond, mede-eigendom en huisvesting, bestuur, (kunst)economie en klasse. Deze thema’s worden niet benaderd als abstracte onderwerpen, maar als geleefde, sociale en politieke omstandigheden die het culturele werk van vandaag de dag vormgeven, binnen instellingen en in bredere sociale contexten.

Bij de Appel zien we cureren als een praktijk die verder gaat dan het maken van tentoonstellingen. Naast de ontwikkeling van tentoonstellingen en publieke programma’s houden de deelnemers zich bezig met vragen over het bouwen van instituten, collectief bestuur, economische duurzaamheid en structurele verandering. Ze onderzoeken hoe curatoriële praktijken kunnen evolueren, bewegend van kritiek naar de constructie van alternatieve organisatievormen.

Het programma duurt tien maanden en brengt vijf tot zes deelnemers samen die gezamenlijk werken en reizen. De deelnemers ontmoeten kunstenaars, cultuurbeoefenaars en organisaties en bouwen zo langdurige relaties op. Ze houden zich bezig met gezamenlijk lezen, schrijven, discussiëren en reflecteren. Het programma culmineert in een collectief gecureerd project dat door de groep wordt ontwikkeld.
 
 

Thematische focus van het programma voor 2026/2027
Het programma is opgebouwd rond drie thematische modules: Governing Otherwise, Transvestment en Assembling Land. Governing Otherwise richt zich op praktijken van collectief bestuur en alternatieve organisatievormen. Het onderzoekt hoe culturele instellingen besluitvorming, verantwoordelijkheid en inclusie kunnen heroverwegen, en hoe structurele en thematische kwesties kunnen worden afgestemd op de dagelijkse praktijk van instellingen. Transvestment: Alternative (Art) Economies and Class behandelt vragen over economisch voortbestaan, autonomie en duurzaamheid. Het onderzoekt commons, de herverdeling van middelen en experimenten die de marktgerichte logica binnen de culturele productie uitdagen. Assembling Land: Land and Housing onderzoekt land en huisvesting als een politieke strijd. Docenten en bezoeken aan locaties zullen artistieke en curatoriële praktijken onderzoeken die zich bezighouden met gedeeld eigendom, commons en collectieve benaderingen van land en plaats. Zie hier voor meer informatie over het curriculum.

De deelnemers leren door middel van peer learning, ontmoetingen met kunstenaars, curatoren en cultuurbeoefenaars, bezoeken aan kunstinstellingen in Nederland en daarbuiten, en door gezamenlijk te werken aan een tentoonstelling die in de zomer van 2027 in de Appel wordt geopend.
 
 

Wie kan zich aanmelden?
Het programma staat open voor curatoren, producenten, cultuurbeoefenaars, kunstenaars, collectieven en onderzoekers die geïnteresseerd zijn in collectieve praktijken, institutionele experimenten en sociaal geëngageerd cureren. Aanvragers dienen een kritische houding te hebben en bereid te zijn om in groepsverband te werken.
 
 

Praktische informatie
○ Looptijd: 19 oktober 2026 – eind juli 2027
○ Locatie: Amsterdam, met reizen
○ Deadline voor aanmelding: 1 maart 2026
○ Sollicitatiegesprekken: 14 en 15 april 2026
○ Online informatiebijeenkomst: 16 februari 2026

Katinka Bock in Dialogue with Lois Weinberger

In the unique architecture of the Gehry Galleries, works by the visionary pioneer Lois Weinberger (*1947 Stams, † 2020 Vienna) and the contemporary sculptor Katinka Bock (*1976 Frankfurt, lives and works in Paris) enter into an artistic dialogue. This is dedicated to processes that are inherent in nature and material as well as in architecture and space. While Weinberger dedicated his work to so-called “ruderal plants”, supposed weeds, as well as cartographies and archaeological traces, Katinka Bock focuses her work on physical changes in materials, which she transforms into poetic installations. Both artists share an interest in natural processes, which are used artistically. The works selected for the exhibition, some of which were newly created, react to the museum architecture and literally grow beyond it into the outdoor space around the Marta.

Ausstellung

Mit Theater der Sonnenzuwendung entwickelt Béla Pablo Janssen eine ästhetische Sprache, die Fragen der Wahrnehmung als Teil übergeordneter planetarer Zusammenhänge begreift. Die Sonnenzuwendung erscheint dabei als kosmischer Rhythmus, in dem menschliche und nicht-menschliche Prozesse miteinander verschränkt sind. Durch die Zusammenführung verschiedener Werkgruppen und ortsspezifischer Setzungen reflektiert die Ausstellung zugleich das zeitgenössische Potential eines Gesamtkunstwerks.

Dabei knüpft BPJ an seine Auseinandersetzung mit Logiken des Archivs an: durch Verfahren des Sammelns, Schichtens und der Remontage werden Erzählweisen und Prozesse der Ordnungsbildung sichtbar gemacht und teils unterlaufen. Statt in ein einzelnes Narrativ zu münden, eröffnet die Ausstellung so eine Mehrstimmigkeit von Bezügen, mit denen nicht zuletzt alternative Formen des Zusammenlebens erkundet werden.

Parallel zur Ausstellung erscheint die Publikation Zeichnungen 2001 – 2026 (fig. 1 – 145) im Verlag der Alber Collection, mit Texten von Sebastian Hammerschmidt, Julia Martel und Thomas Merian.

Béla Pablo Janssen (1981, Köln) studierte an der HAW Hamburg, der UdK Berlin und der HBK Braunschweig. Seine Ausstellungen und Residencies führten ihn u. a. nach Basel (#notforsale, Basel Social Club), Brüssel und Paris (Jeanroch Dard), Düsseldorf (Kunsthalle, LRRH_), Köln (artothek, Galerie ALBER), Rio de Janeiro (Instituto Inclusartiz), São Paulo (FAAP) und Tokio (Sam Francis Residency).

[nadine] February 2026

Posted on

[NL/FR, click here.]

The new year started like fireworks

This winter, as WAB develops into a public research space, it strikes us that the beginning of the new year started like fireworks. A burst full of energy exploding into a ray of different stars, lighting up many topics of interest (ethics of reciprocity, artistic publishing, soft material and body practices, working on different states of attention, …) that are lit. The aim is set: let’s get to work, no time to waste.

Despite it being the cold and dark season of winter, many doors are opening, through which we see a winter program shaping up: 
જ⁀➴ WAB meetings shape how to accompany our common conversation (with WAB group). 
જ⁀➴ WAB labs shape conversations and explorations through gathering and making together (with Emmie McLuskey, Eleni Kamma, Janice Parker, and Natural Contract Lab).
જ⁀➴ Projectspace n0dine shapes ways of encountering with children (with Francesca Chiacchio), spirits (with Spa for Spirits), plants (with Gosie Vervloessem), fictions (with Various Artists), etc. 
જ⁀➴ Etat des Lieux shapes how an audience can learn about artistic research, and being together during different states of attention (with Adaline Anobile, Clément Thiry, Steven Jouwersma).
જ⁀➴ And —following a winter cleanse— the Risograph is fully operational again printing research by Anaïs Berck, Anna Raimondo, etc. 

Happy WAB Winter New Year!

[n0dine] alas the heart is not a plant… by Gosie Vervloessem
26/02–12/03/2026 — expo

[EN] Gosie Vervloessem installs a temporary performative space in n0dine for an investigation in which language and image are intensely interwoven. Language is not only spoken here, but also made visible and tangible — language becomes image. 
During a performative exchange at the end of the working period, n0dine will be transformed into an open setting where the agency between performers and audience continuously shifts and is shared.

[NL] Gosie Vervloessem installeert in n0dine een tijdelijke performatieve ruimte voor een onderzoek waarin taal en beeld intens met elkaar verweven worden. Taal wordt hier niet alleen gesproken, maar ook zichtbaar en tastbaar gemaakt — taal wordt beeld.
Tijdens een performatieve uitwisseling aan het einde van de werkperiode, wordt n0dine omgevormd tot een open setting waarin de agency tussen performers en publiek continu verschuift en gedeeld wordt.

[FR] Gosie Vervloessem installe dans n0dine un espace performatif temporaire pour une recherche dans laquelle le langage et l’image sont intimement liés. Ici, le langage n’est pas seulement parlé, il est également rendu visible et tangible : le langage devient image. 
Au cours d’un échange performatif à la fin de la période de travail, n0dine se transforme en un cadre ouvert où l’action entre les interprètes et le public se déplace et se partage en permanence.

Last days Salon Winssinger
 

Lucie Lanzini – Hilde Overbergh
 
Opening hours: Fri 30, Sat 31 January & Sun February 1 from 2 to 6 PM                                                                                       
Location: Rue de l’Hôtel des Monnaies, 66 1060 Saint-Gilles (Brussels).                                                                                         
Several contemporary art galleries based in Brussels—including Irène Laub Gallery, Whitehouse Gallery and Michèle Schoonjans  Gallery— are joining forces on the occasion of a new artistic event: Salon Winssinger, which will be held in an exceptional Art Nouveau  house. This event is part of Brussels’s bustling cultural agenda, alongside the BrusselsPhoto festival, Ceramics Brussels and the prestigious BRAFA.

Expo Le Botanique
 

Welcome to the opening Wednesday February 4, 6 – 9 PM
 
As part of the bicentenary of photography, Émilie Terlinden takes over the Botanical Museum with a series of paintings and a reinterpretation of Daguerre’s Diorama.
With Timelapse, Émilie Terlinden explores the transformation of images. Cut, folded, fragmented and then recomposed before being painted, they move away from any immediate interpretation to become autonomous and ambiguous forms. Inspired by European painting as well as everyday images, her compositions invite the viewer to engage in a slow and sensory experience of the gaze.
The exhibition revolves around a monumental in situ painting, a reinterpretation of Daguerre’s diorama. It is a tribute to the origins of the moving image, marking 200 years of photography.
Inspired by early visual devices, the work unfolds on two sides and gradually reveals a scene by day and then by night through a continuous transition of light, making light and time materials in their own right.

Exhibition in the gallery
 

Nancy Moreno, Ara Méndez Murillo, Mina Enowaki
 
Period: January 17 – February 14
Opening hours: Thu, Fri, Sat 1 – 6 PM
 

Whitehouse Gallery unites three young female artists Ara Méndez Murillo (b. 1997, Córdoba, ES), Mina Enowaki (b. 1998, Annecy, FR) and Nancy Moreno (b. 1990, Montauban, FR) in a  group exhibition. Although all three graduated from La Cambre in Brussels, their artistic practices diverge in striking and intriguing ways, rendering the dialogue between the works all the more dynamic. 
Each artist is distinctly marked by her background, which resonates through both their artistic choices and working methods. Personal experiences and interests form the blueprints for their practices, shaping the recurring themes, media and styles. Even the more ‘daily affairs’ of their lives – like favorite colors, poems, or vacation spots – are important puzzle pieces for the narratives in their works, deepening both their individuality and personal meaning.

Opening Edith Dekyndt at Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens

Posted on

Edith Dekyndt
 
It could be James on the beach.
It could be. It could be very fresh and clear.
Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Deurle, Belgium
February 1 ⏤ May 17, 2026

A meeting between James Ensor and Albert Einstein on the Belgian coast serves as the starting point for this solo exhibition by Edith Dekyndt, curated by Martin Germann. Only a few fragile photographs remain from that encounter—images that would later inspire Robert Wilson and Philip Glass in their opera Einstein on the Beach. At the center of the exhibition is Ensor’s Still Life with Chinoiseries, from MDD’s own collection. This work depicts imported objects—fabrics, ceramics, decorative elements—and embodies a Western perspective on distant lands.

Around Ensor’s work, Dekyndt assembles a series of objects: veils marked by traces of torn wallpaper, textiles, Chinese and Japanese ceramics, and various marine creatures. These elements refer, among other things, to mathematics, the passage of time, and the atomic disaster in Hiroshima. A central piece in the exhibition is a locally woven curtain, inspired by Japanese kimono patterns that, at the moment of the atomic explosion, were burned into the skin of Hiroshima’s victims. The textile, both soft and charred, evokes the moment when the atomic bomb reduced everything to ash.

Between Ensor and Einstein lies a subtle transition—from an old world shaped by colonial perspectives to a modern world in which science can bring about devastating destruction. Dekyndt’s exhibition makes this transition tangible, not through a concrete narrative, but through the presence of objects, the slowness of materials, and the silence they leave within us.

On Sunday, February 1, the Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens will host a New Year's reception, followed by a preview of the solo exhibition by Edith Dekyndt.
