It's the last weekend to see Salon de la Muse at the @mhkamuseum MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART ANTWERP), a collective artwork in the form of a growing collection of muses with a small contribution of my own work.

Salon de la Muse is a growing collection of muses, created within the Antwerp artist-run space AAIMACHINE (johanna Trudzinski, Lieven Segers, Frank Olbrechts) Since 2026, the work has been part of the City of Antwerp Collection and is managed by M HKA @jo_trudzinski @lievensegers @aaimachine

Representations of muses
An evolving project originated from a question posed by an eight-year-old child to artist Lieven Segers during a lecture at Klavertjevier Primary School (now Monto) in Berchem: “Lieven, where does your art come from?” His answer was: “From the muses, but I don’t know what they look like.” This sparked a participatory inquiry into the many possible appearances of the muse.
In 2024, this resulted in a first presentation at AAIMACHINE. Professional artists, art students and primary school pupils created more than 200 visualisations of muses together. The contributions were digitised, framed with a mat based on AAIMACHINE’s floor pattern, and brought together in a compelling installation: Salon de la Muse, a wooden chamber whose interior walls are entirely covered with the contributions, artists are invited to add their own muse to the collection. More than 250 contributions have now been included, allowing the work to continue growing as a collective and polyphonic representation of artistic inspiration.

Location: Muhka, Leuvenstraat 32, 2000 Antwerp,

Welcome to TUR’s October artists in residence, Johanna Trudzinski and Lieven Segers! They are Antwerp-based artists and, together with Frank Olbrechts, the people behind the artist-run space AAIMACHINE. Trudzinski has a background in fashion design and works across scenography, costume, fashion and visual art. Segers works with drawing, text, sculpture, installation and performance, often involving other people and allowing their contributions to become part of the work. Their work with AAIMACHINE brings different artists, practices and generations together, with the exhibition itself becoming part of how these relationships take form.
At TUR, Trudzinski and Segers join Edd Schouten in the development of the Fall exhibition, which opens November 4th, a collaboration between AAIMACHINE and TUR bringing together contributions from 100 artists from Antwerp and Riga.

We are excited to introduce our beautiful performers of slower softer closer.

Welcome on Sunday August 9, 16:00 – 22:00.

For one day the space becomes a soft counter-space within Antwerp Pride. A hub of rest, given over to tenderness and queer kinship. Queerness as radical slowness, as radical softness. A reading space, somewhere to sit, room to linger. This is a soft pride, quiet and romantic. Come connect at a slower tempo.

With performances by artists whose work moves through the intimacy of queerness and shared care. Curated by Ilva Ieva @s4rdinegirl
