Exhibitions

The White Cube is Never Empty is the first solo show in a Belgian museum by Spanish artist Cristina Garrido. Spanning the past decade of her practice, it includes a new site-specific installation that responds directly to the Museum’s distinctive architecture and exhibition history.

Conceived by Honoré δ’O for the large square room at MACS, the exhibition Quarantaine−Quarantine consists of a vast installation in which the Belgian artist evokes the “retreat into the desert” he undertook for 40 days as part of his residency in Marfa (Texas) in 2024. As its title suggests through the double meaning of the French word “quarantaine”, (both “around forty (days)” and “quarantine”), the project combines the experience of spiritual introspection with that of physical isolation.

With A Cornered Solo Show, Nedko Solakov has, since 2021, been installing his creations in the discreet corners of museums – often neglected passageways such as halls, stairwells or changing rooms. For the sixth part of the series, the exhibition The Miner’s Dream is inspired by the stories and hopes that have traversed the Grand-Hornu site.

Over the past thirty years, Lucia Bru (1970, Brussels) has developed a sculptural practice grounded in an experimental approach to materials – paper, crystal, porcelain, cement, and plaster – in which geometry and chance converge to form structures that are at once minimal and complex.
