We are delighted to announce the opening of our new exhibition on April 24th 2026, during Art Brussels

hear/here, curated by Lorraine de Thibault, investigates silence as a structure - drawing on anthropological notions of social silence to approach reality through its unspoken narratives. Conceived as a methodology across the exhibition, silence is articulated through three central works by Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Diana Larrea, and Olga de Amaral, each functioning as a conceptual and spatial nucleus for one of the exhibition’s floors. From these operative cores, the exhibition unfolds through multiple registers of silence: as a space of contemplation and interiority, as a mechanism of discipline, suppression and violence, and as a constitutive force in the writing of history itself. In doing so, hear/here considers the ways in which what remains unheard, unspoken, or withheld may shape social realities as profoundly as what is made visible and declared.

With works by Lawrence Abu Hamdan @lawrenceabuhamdan , Rada Akbar @radaakbar , Ghada Amer @ghadaamer , Belkis Ayón @belkis_ayon , Farid Belkahia @fondationfaridbelkahia , Sophie Calle @adansophiecalle , Sara Cwynar @cwynars , Olga de Amaral @olgadeamaral , Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg @nathaliedjurberg_hansberg , Anju Dodiya @dodiyaanju , Kimathi Donkor @kimathi.donkor , Venuca Evanán @venucaevanandeperu, Emilia García @emilia4eva, Mona Hatoum @monahatoumstudio , Sanja Iveković , Mella Jaarsma @mellajaarsma , Regina José Galindo @galindoreginajose , Diana Larrea @diana_larrea , Clemen Parrocchietti @archivioclemenparrocchetti , Paula Rego @paularegostudio , Sofia Salazar Rosales @sofiasalazarbb , Ana Paula Santana @anafauna , Mohammad Suliman, Young-jun Tak @youngjun.tak , Gillian Wearing, Hank Willis Thomas @hankwillisthomas , Leila Zelli @leila.zelli , and more.

Guided tours will take place on April 24, 25, and 26 (more info on slide 2)

@dragosolea, artist and resident of the Servais Family Collection, reflects on the work of Antoni Muntadas called Generic Still Life.

He describes it as a radical artwork defying traditional rules of still lifes, critiquing mass production and mass consumption.
