Anne Wenzel's 'Bright Solitude (Chandelier)' (2007) is on view in 'Coup de Théâtre. A Play of Clay' in Abby Kortrijk, Belgium.

From imposing table centrepieces to hyper-stylised vases, from pot-bellied jugs to delicate genre paintings, from stunning trompe-l'œils to grotesque caricatures, for centuries, ceramics have been putting on a show from the shelves, and today they're experiencing a revival.

Abby preserves an important and extensive collection of historical ceramics. Much of it wasn't made (only) to be used, but also and above all to be seen, displayed, and admired.

These are the last weeks to visit Odonchimeg Davadoorj's 'A Poem from the Volcano'!

In this exhibition, Davaadorj dissolves the artificial separation between human and nature, drawing on ancient myths. In this process, the artist uses these myths to reimagine the human condition, searching for the landscapes within oneself. This is shown through her use of the volcano, a burning mountain embodied by the Greek god Hephaestus. The volcano is a paradox: a place of rebirth and catastrophe, it destroys and creates. The presence of female bodies, the body she knows best, are a canvas in which she explores this tension and tries to imagine dissolving this paradox.

We are open from Wednesday to Saturday, 1 - 6 pm.

Odonchimeg Davaadorj incorporates the notions of ecology, environment, nature and living beings into her works. Everything is interconnected; conjoining organisms give rise to new forms that defy all manners of classification.

We are open today from 1 - 6 pm 🌱

Miguel Angel Rios is part of the Bienal Del Agua 'The Traces of Water', taking place in Cascais, Portugal, with the work 'AMERICA' (1996) from 16 July to 6 September, 2026.

Bienal Del Agua acts as a universal cultural platform inspiring reflection, creativity and cooperation in preserving water as a shared heritage for future generations. It showcases the ways in which art, knowledge and sustainability can bring nations together through shared values and innovation.

The Biennial is guided by the idea that water is an essential element of sociocultural life, one that is increasingly impacted within our ecosystem and deeply linked to all anthropological and sociological dimensions, including ways of living, socioeconomic frameworks, and ethical and social responsibility.

melanie bonajo's 'Matrix Botanica' (2013) is now on view in the exhibition 'Living Mesh – a world beyond linnaeus' at Verwey Museum Haarlem, curated by Kim Knoppers.

'Living Mesh' explores how humans perceive and experience nature. Do we view nature as something we organise and possess, or as a living network in which everything is interconnected? The exhibition takes as its starting point the influential classification system developed by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus during his stay at the De Hartekamp country estate in Heemstede. This system, which is closely intertwined with colonial ideas, shaped our view of nature for centuries. Sixteen contemporary artists take a different approach, they view nature as a network of relationships, in which everything is interconnected and in flux.

'Matrix Botanica' touches upon the issue that all people are indigenous, they are from somewhere and belong, alongside all other life forms, to the Earth. In the video the Voice of Nature reflects upon us humans. She explains how she sees us and the many misunderstandings and interpretations which are caused by Western philosophical frame-work, especially the absurd construction of placing human identity ‘outside’ nature. Nature as the protagonist, becomes a character with personhood, one who the viewer can identify with.

'Fragility in Times of Fire', a solo exhibition by Gluklya is opening this evening at Loods 6!

'Fragility in Times of Fire' is a constellation of installations, sculptures, videos, drawings and textile works that forge connections between Europe (the Netherlands in particular) and Central Asia. The exhibition has grown out of conversations and encounters with friends, fellow artists, garment workers in Kyrgyzstan, migrants, mothers, passers-by, birds, earth, plants and fungi.

The exhibition depicts a world in the aftermath of a major fire. How the fire started, who was responsible for it, and why it became so devastating remains unspoken. The focus is on the gradual return of life. These creatures bear the scars of what they have had to endure, yet they continue to exist.

The exhibition is on view until 5 July, 2026.

Stéphanie Saadé's series 'Logic Remains' (2014-2018) is featured in 'A Nail to Hang the Day On' at the Kunstverein in Hamburg, Germany.

Embedded within even the most basic household item is an emotional charge that binds it to the lives of those who use it, far exceeding the function of the object itself.

Habit, trauma, fantasy, desire, or memory lodge themselves into our belongings, and the cold surfaces of a toaster or a cutting board transform, become abstract, and fossilise over time, from possessions into something else. The less directly useful an object slowly becomes, the more it accumulates meaning, specificity, and identity, a broken chair can sometimes mean more than a new one.
