C A S S T L is pleased to present Absence, Returned, a new exhibition by Antwerp-based artists Yves de Brabander (yves de brabander) and Cedric Jacquemyn (CEDRIC JACQUEMYN), opening during Antwerp Pride 2026.
Yves de Brabander and Cedric Jacquemyn have lived and worked alongside one another for many years. Their practices have developed in close proximity, shaped by a shared attention to material, transformation and the relationship between presence and disappearance.
Absence, Returned considers what remains after something has disappeared: a garment without a body, an image removed from its original context, a fragment carrying the presence of something incomplete.
Absence, Returned forms part of TOGETHER, a city-wide initiative supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, through which a network of Antwerp art spaces unite in the context of Antwerp Pride (Antwerp Pride).
Participating galleries and art spaces: AAIMACHINE, Annie Gentils Gallery, BURO_ASAP, C A S S T L, Kunsthal Extra City, Pizza Gallery, Melis & Piron, Studio Palermo, TICK TACK.
⏱️ Opening: Thursday, August 6 from 18:00 till 22:00.
🗓️ On view until September 11.
📍 Visit us at Braziliëstraat 27, 2000 Antwerp, open Wednesday to Friday, from 12:00-17:00.
or by appointment via [email protected].
CASSTL is a non-profit artist initiative run by Carla Arocha (Carla Arocha), Stéphane Schraenen (Stéphane Schraenen) and Luc Tuymans ().
