BRUSSELS.- Marie Zolamian: Confabulations
February 21–May 17, 2026


Marie Zolamian’s work invokes constellations where interior geographies, fabulated presences and microhistories intertwine to form visual worlds operating between observation and imagination.

Through painting, moving image, sound, drawing and site-specific work, Confabulations considers how memory is continuously reactivated and transformed, opening new routes towards shared imaginaries. Curator: Sofia Dati.

Lutz Bacher: Burning the Days
March 28–August 9, 2026


Burning the Days offers an expansive view of conceptual artist Lutz Bacher’s provocative, genre-defying oeuvre that exists across a wide range of found materials. Moving between affect and sentiment, humor, and pop-cultural touchstones, the exhibition turns to unflinching examinations of sexuality, violence, political paranoia, and cosmic metaphysics.

Curators: Helena Kritis and Dirk Snauwaert, with co-curator Solveig Øvstebø at Astrup Fearnley Museet. Lutz Bacher: Burning the Days is organised in collaboration with Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo, where an iteration of the exhibition was on view September 26, 2025–January 4, 2026.

On Debt
June 11–September 20, 2026

with Dora Budor, Niloufar Emamifar, Annaïk Lou Pitteloud, Georgia Sagri, Gianna Surangkanjanajai , ...

This group exhibition brings together artists who delve into the affects and blind spots of the debt economy. Between what is measured and what slips beyond calculation, the works probe accountability and how debt quietly shapes our sense of the future. Curator: Pauline Hatzigeorgiou.

Ali Cherri: Pray, Lips of Clay
September 5–January 4,2026


For the first time, several of Ali Cherri’s major bodies of work are gathered, including his upcoming film The Sentinel (2026). Alongside, a series of sculptures, watercolour drawings and installations act as a sustained inquiry into how institutions of power—the nation-state, the military and even the museum—shape the ways history is constructed and remembered. Curator: Helena Kritis.
