Dear all,

We are delighted to invite you to the new solo exhibition by
Anne Van Boxelaere
Radiant City

The exhibition RADIANT CITY presents Anne Van Boxelaere’s recent work from her series ‘Agreement’, a reflection on the tension between humanity and system, between beauty and control.

The title of the exhibition refers to Le Corbusier’s ‘Ville Radieuse’ (‘Radiant City’), an unrealised modernist urban design from 1930. This visionary plan, intended as a ‘radiant city’ for modern humanity, stands as a symbol of an intensified rational and controlling state apparatus. A nightmarish vision in which order, discipline, and cold efficiency prevail over human warmth and vitality. Le Corbusier’s colleague Hugo Häring described it as a future vision “organised like a Prussian military world: orderly, aligned, disciplined, but cold.”

Anne Van Boxelaere deliberately chooses this title as a counterpoint. Where Radiant City suggests a promise of progress and harmony, she reveals the underlying inhumanity: a world in which systems and rules take precedence, and where beauty and connection disappear into the whirlwind of bureaucracy and administration.

Welcome to day three of the Antwerp Art Weekend!
Be sure to drop by to see Winnie Claessens’ exhibition, 'All Tomorrow’s Parties'.

In the exhibition ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’, a contemporary tragedy unfolds in which three versions of the Earth exist side by side.Each worldview speaks with equal certainty, claiming to hold the truth. Images, voices, and signs attempt to persuade the viewer, while doubt quietly lingers in the background. What we know reaches us through screens, books, and mediated authorities, far removed from direct experience. Conviction becomes a matter of choosing rather than questioning. The title, inspired by William Gibson’s All Tomorrow’s Parties, gestures toward a world caught between overlapping futures, where reality is shaped in transitional zones rather than fixed conclusions. Between black and white, the space for nuance, dialogue, and mutual respect slowly disappears. This exhibition invites the viewer to step back into that fragile in-between space.

We are delighted to invite you to *magh- ✨✨✨

*magh- is a site-specific Adventure Lecture Performance by Julla Kroner ( ), blending magical realism, developed in 2023 and now presented at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) in collaboration with Platform 0090.

Up to ten participants follow a guided tour using a shared iPad that reveals augmented reality images—dreams of the Fuller’s pirates—while a portable speaker provides an immersive soundtrack.

Practical:
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Thursday 14/05: 13.30 – 14.30 + 16.00 –17.00
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Friday 15/05: 14.30 – 15.30 + 16.00 - 17.00
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Saturday 16/05: 14.30 – 15.30 + 16.00 – 17.00
- *magh- (performance walk) from Monty to KMSKA on Sunday 17/05: 14.30 – 15.30 + 16.00 – 17.00

The performance explores the museum’s architecture and hidden spaces, weaving an alternative history that connects industrialization, the museum’s construction, and the mythical pirates who inscribed their dreams into the building itself. Combining architecture, history, technology, and fiction, magh- offers a unique narrative experience between a tour, lecture, and adventure.

A warm welcome to everyone today at the opening of Winnie Claessens’ third exhibition at our gallery.

‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’

We are open from 2 pm to 7 pm.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

"Of all the forms the world contains,
none is so restless as man;
he travels over sea and land,
and draws lines where no boundary ever began.
He names the earth: flat, round, or hollow, ...
and locks it in a fragile scheme;
he seeks for proof in air and soil,
yet shapes his findings to fit what he deems.
He tames the beast, the measure, word, and wind,
and bends the storm to match his own desire;
yet still he weaves together truth with doubt,
a slender thread that holds and weighs him entire.
No force but doubt escapes his grasp,
no fear he does not strive to overcome;
but when the ground of knowledge gives beneath him,
each form and proof collapses, all undone.
O sharpened mind, so powerful and so clear,
guided by measure he can steadfast be;
but should he crown himself the only truth,
he builds on air—and falls with all he sees."

(inspired by Sophocles' Antigone)

In her latest exhibition, Winnie Claessens presents a contemporary tragedy where three versions of the Earth coexist side by side. Each worldview speaks with equal certainty, claiming to hold the truth. Images, voices, and signs attempt to persuade the viewer, while doubt quietly lingers in the background. What we know reaches us through screens, books, and mediated authorities, far removed from direct experience. Conviction becomes a matter of choosing rather than questioning.

The title, inspired by William Gibson’s *All Tomorrow’s Parties*, gestures toward a world caught between overlapping futures, where reality is shaped in transitional zones rather than fixed conclusions. Between black and white, the space for nuance, dialogue, and mutual respect slowly disappears. This exhibition invites the viewer to step back into that fragile in-between space.

We are delighted to invite you to the festive opening of Winnie Claessens’ new solo exhibition:

“All Tomorrow's Parties”

This is the third time our gallery is presenting work by Winnie Claessens, and once again she challenges us to view the world – and ourselves – through a different lens.

In this exhibition, a contemporary tragedy unfolds in which three versions of the Earth exist side by side.

Each worldview speaks with equal certainty, claiming to hold the truth. Images, voices, and signs attempt to persuade the viewer, while doubt quietly lingers in the background.
