Throwback to the 'General State of the Arts' conversation - Brussels edition - 12.09.2026

Escargot is a first tentative intervention to use the new vitrine space of Level Five’s Van Volxem studios as an exhibition space. In this initial intervention by Julia Liedel, Adler Murada and Melissa Ryke, Escargot is put forward both as the name for the show, as well as a name for the space that recalls the spiral shell of a snail.

This intervention pivots around our artistic practices, ideas that respond to the space and the theme ‘grit’. Grit, meaning: abrasive particles or granules, as of sand or other small, coarse impurities found in the air, food, water, etc. Or a firmness of character; tenacity; indomitable spirit; pluck.

Offered as a starting point for this collaboration, grit is ecologically, materially and politically relevant to the local contexts and ecologies of Level Five Van Volxem. Grit can be found within the renitent Wiels marais between busy train lines, the mettle of practicing artists and enduring artist studio spaces.

Lumbung Welkome!

From 11 to 12 February, Level Five welcomed damdam in Brussels.

damdam is an interwoven web of collectives emerging from de Appel’s Curatorial Programme, the Lumbung Practice Temporary Master Programme at Sandberg Instituut and Gudskul’s Collective Study Programme in Indonesia.

During two days we got together for a Majelis (an assembly), studio visits, Footage Therapy with Emili Allahbeigi, a collective walk around the city and finally the dinner 'My mother is Turkish' but not really' hosted by Asli Hatipoglu.

Thanks to everyone who joined and contributed!
@jumbojado Elien Ronse Golnesa Rezanezhad @_aslihatipoglu Emili Allahbeigi @colinroustan

Level Five thanks @brakkegrond for their support throughout the lumbung practice programme.

And to all the friends that generously helped out with accommodation for this visit, including @becuebxl by @levelfive.brussels

Carte Blanche — Nicoletta Grillo

In ‘Carte Blanche’ krijgt een kunstenaar vrij spel in Kunstletters, het driemaandelijks tijdschrift van Kunstwerkt. BLANCO duikt geregeld op met projecten waarin het kunstenaars vraagt te reageren op een 'lege zone'. Deze keer vormt papier het speelveld. De kunstenaars worden geselecteerd i.s.m. de partners binnen de Vlaamse koepel van atelierorganisaties UFO: NUCLEO, MORPHO, Cas-co, Kunstplaats Vonk, De Tank en Level Five.

In dit nummer okt > december 2025
Nicoletta Grillo via Level Five

Nicoletta: ‘In mijn praktijk neemt het concept resonantie een belangrijke plaats in. De kern van mijn werk bestaat uit gesprekken die zich ontvouwen tussen beelden en woorden, in de vorm van stemmen of teksten, plaatsen of mensen.
De twee beelden die ik hier toon maken deel uit van het project Noi (2022). Na de dood van mijn moeder vond ik thuis een verzameling van haar notities en foto’s, voornamelijk uit 1978. Dat jaar waren er in Italië demonstraties van feministen die een wet voor abortus eisten. Op de foto’s zijn die protesten te zien, maar ook alledaagse scènes, zoals beelden van vrienden en vakanties.
Door de materialen te knippen, opnieuw samen te stellen en te herinterpreteren biedt dit project een blik op het dagelijks leven van een jonge vrouw in de jaren 1970 en haar verwevenheid met het politieke klimaat van die tijd, ergens tussen een persoonlijke en collectieve geschiedenis in.’

Tonight at WIELS! Welcome from 6pm onwards!

On 10 October, at 6 pm at WIELS in Brussels, KASK Curatorial Studies programme from Ghent, Level Five from Brussels and Rupert Alternative Education Programme from Vilnius invite you to take part in the workshop The Secretary, the Shaman, the Scholar, the Lobbyist, the Publicist, and the Virtuoso.

This participatory event is situated within an ongoing conversation between members from diverse disciplinary, cultural, and institutional backgrounds. The workshop creates a collective space to navigate and engage with cultural and political crises.

Through exploring practical tools for communication, collaboration, (un)learning, radical pedagogy and global cultural (re)action, together with you, we want to make ideas and thoughts felt.

Using methods of association and collage, we intend to reflect collectively in an open-ended process.

You are welcome to bring any materials you wish to share, but above all, we look forward to this moment of self-organisation.
