KRIEG?
Since 2019, I'm acting as the artistic director of KRIEG?, a university gallery founded in 2016 and affiliated to PXL-MAD School of Arts (Hasselt, BE), offering a public-oriented and autonomous artistic program. KRIEG? places artists at the center, and seeks to foster experimental connections between presentation, education and research. Recent solo projects include Julien Meert, Pilvi Takala, Wesley Meuris, Ryan Gander, Grace Ndiritu, Assaf Gruber and The Book Lovers.
More past projects will be added soon.
