Exhibitions

The seventh edition of Glasstress, which opens on June 3 and runs until November 27, brings together a group of leading contemporary artists from Europe, the United States, Latin America, Africa, and China in an ambitious exhibition that explores the infinite creative possibilities of glass.

Koen Vanmechelen participates in the international, multi-facetted and diverse “60x60 Food = Politics + Pleasure” video exhibition at Museum Brot und Kunst in Germany. "60×60" is a global film project that combines 60 short films of 60 seconds from a variety of international artists.The overarching theme is food in both political and cultural contexts.

Koen Vanmechelens’ Material World will be featured in ‘Argent’, an exhibition that celebrates Anouk Vilain Gallery’s silver jubilee, which exists 25 years. This group exhibition will take place from 10 September to 9 October 2022 and is curated by Hilde van Canneyt.

Koen Vanmechelen is featured in Glasstress 2nd Edition in Sweden, in the Millesgården Museum with his artwork ‘Temptation’. The exhibition will be opened by Vanmechelen with an inauguration speech on 17th September 2022, in the Lidingö based museum.

The Museum of Music – Philharmonie of Paris enters, with the exhibition ‘Musicanimale, the big bestiary of sound’, the field of bioacoustics. Curator Jean-Hubert Martin (Centre Pompidou, Museum Kunstpalast, …) invited Koen Vanmechelen to participate with Calling the world. The expo celebrates the beauty of sound; birds' vocalizations, insects' stridulations, whales' melodic songs, or wolves' choral howls. The sounds of some forty species show, via a journey of 150 works, how much animals fascinate and inspire, how much they give rise to visual and sound poetry.

From 15 October 2022 to 19 March 2023, the Limburgs Museum in Venlo will feature Koen Vanmechelen in the group exhibition 'Mysticism: Rituals. Stillness. Rapture'.
