On June 11, from 6 PM to midnight, Muo invites Chouette Canette to take over What the Eye Holds for a special evening where contemporary art meets a more festive atmosphere.

The exhibition remains at the heart of the experience, while the space transforms into a place for gathering, discovering, listening, and celebrating.

✨ On view: What the Eye Holds

What the Eye Holds explores the gaze and its impossible neutrality. Bringing together artists from diverse backgrounds and experiences, the exhibition reflects on the ways memory, personal histories, and lived experiences shape what we see and what remains with us long after looking.

Dear Muo community, we are pleased to announce that we will be returning in a few weeks with a new group exhibition 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟖𝐭𝐡!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐲𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 explores the gaze and its impossible neutrality.

Far from being a passive act, seeing is always shaped by what we have lived through by memory, experience, and the subtle layers of what we carry within us, often without even being aware of it. The eye is never alone: it is formed, displaced, and quietly marked by everything that has touched us.
The works gathered in this exhibition navigate the fragile space between what is shown and what is perceived.

𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 : @no_flash_allowed, @lileflor_ , @mao.wum, @clement_jacques_vossen, @camilleamandinemarino, @tatianavejic, @___mauddraws

Each artist arrives with a singular history: origins, displacements, tensions, attachments. At times these narratives are political; at others, they are more intimate, discreet, rooted in memory, sensation, or ways of inhabiting the world. Nothing here is fixed. What emerges is not only what is shown, but also what each viewer projects, receives, and retains.

What the Eye Holds may be this: what we retain without always being able to name it. What the eye captures, and what the body continues to hold in other ways.

A mural painting by @madeleine.schilling , February 2026

When a wall becomes a landscape and painting, a breath. An exhibition where forms and architecture engage in dialogue to create a sensitive and narrative territory.

Thank you all for your presence and for the welcome given to this project.

A thank you to @mayavanpersie for beautifully capturing these cherished moments.

A few weeks ago, 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐚, our first Muo project, came to an end. An important chapter, which laid the foundations for what we wish to develop: a space in motion, dedicated to artists and their research.

Hypnagogia brought together 8 artists with diverse practices, whose works unfolded within a deliberately raw, open, and welcoming space. The exhibition was conceived as a passage, an interstice where one takes the time to look, to listen, and to allow other narratives to emerge.

Muo was born from the initiative of 3 friends engaged in the cultural sector for several years. At a time when the sector is particularly fragile, we felt the need to create an independent space, a place of visibility, but also of support and collaboration.

Inspired by movere “to move, to set in motion” 𝗠𝘂𝗼 carries the desire to continue bringing artistic projects into existence, even when the context makes their emergence more difficult.

We would like to deeply thank the artists for their trust and the quality of their work:
@timdebrouwer
@donagillon
@diego.herman.z
@haolinhuang0716
@michael_a_lb
@mathildevannuffel
@isawoodhouse
@zabeluc

Our thanks also go to those without whom this first project could not have come to life:
@hugo_neumann_exclusive_lights for his lighting expertise💡
@guivicnt for his high-quality lighting installation 🌟
@gigi.amrs and @thomas_2p2l our personal MacGyvers 🛠️
@emma.legein @emmasyogaworld for this floating yoga moment in resonance with the exhibition 🧘‍♀️
@luanabassil for the photographs of this first edition, soon available on our website 📷
And our friends and families for their precious support at every stage 👯

Hypnagogia comes to a close, but the movement continues.

2026 already promises to be a new adventure, with other projects we can’t wait to share with you 🔥

𝗛𝗬𝗣𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗢𝗚𝗜𝗔

Hypnagogia refers to the transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. This in-between phase is often marked by fleeting visions, altered sensations, and mental imagery that defy the logic of reality. These hypnagogic hallucinations, whether visual, auditory, or bodily, compose a mental space where the imagination is freed from rational filters. Muo proposes to take this state as the starting point for an artistic exploration: What happens when consciousness wavers?

For its first exhibition, Muo invites 8 artists to explore this in-between state of consciousness, where intuition and perception become the raw material of creation. Works emerge like fragments of dreams, instinctive, fluid, and sensory.
