Things to do in Charleroi, Brussels, and Antwerp, from art fairs to 90s parties. See you there!
Exhibition: The Artwork as a Living System at iMAL
Runs until 24 September Brussels
Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau are pioneers when it comes to digital and interactive art. Brussels’ Art Center for Digital Cultures and Technology (iMAL) now presents an overview of the groundbreaking oeuvre of the Austrian-French artist duo that goes back all the way to the early 90s. Working at the intersection of natural science, technology, and art, the twosome shows installations that require interaction with the audience while incorporating virtual realities, algorithms, immersive environments and creating links with natural living organisms.
Exhibition: Michaela Schweighofer at Komplot
Runs until 11 June Brussels
“You shine like I drank the moon” is not only Austrian artist Michaela Schweighofer‘s very first solo exhibition in Belgium, but also the inaugural show for Komplot‘s new space at Place du Conseil. She’s interested in socio-political and feminist questions while approaching sculpture in a way that allows her to explore handicrafts and new techniques. Here, Schweighofer presents a new site-specific sculptural installation incorporating objects derived from urban architecture and the domestic interior.
Exhibition: Inès van den Kieboom at Tim Van Laere
Runs until 20 May Antwerp
Although Ostend-born Inès van den Kieboom has been painting since the 1960s, this captivating show at Antwerp’s Time Van Laere gallery is only her fourth exhibition. At 92 years old, she’s finally getting the attention she deserves. “Le Temps des Cerises” features a new series of paintings as well as early, works never exhibited before. The self-taught artist primarily finds inspiration in her everyday surroundings, but also in art history, popular culture and current events. She paints and draws her subjects through a filter of memories and impressions, creating a fascinating, unique visual language.
