WED — SAT, 1pm — 6pm and by appointment
We are excited to unveil our new temporary exhibition space in Brussels with a duo show featuring two remarkable artists: ULRIKE BUHL from Germany and FRANCK MILTGEN from Luxembourg. Both challenge conventional forms of sculpture and wall installations, engaging in the transformation of materials. Through this dialogue, SKINNED LIGHT invites visitors to reflect on proximity, discovery, and the shared tensions between the artworks, creating a rich encounter between visual worlds.
This first exhibition, titled SKINNED LIGHT, wants to explore the intersection of the tactile and ephemeral, peeling back layers to reveal light in its raw, vulnerable form. It symbolizes both the fragility and intensity of illumination and the process of artistic deconstruction and reconstruction.
Ulrike Buhl’s innovative sculptures and installations blur the line between the natural and artificial, with organic, biomorphic forms evoking microorganisms or viral structures. Her works explore growth, decay, and the dynamic cycle of creation and destruction.
Franck Miltgen’s practice delves into materiality, layering vintage textiles, graffiti-like markings, and industrial materials. His art reveals hidden narratives, playing with notions of facade and perception, encouraging viewers to question what is concealed versus what is exposed.

▶︎ LAGE EGAL GOES TO BRUSSELS
LAGE EGAL CURATORIAL PROJECTS, founded by French artist and curator Pierre Granoux, established its current form in 2019 after several years of activity. Based in Berlin, the platform explores experimental exhibition formats in ever-changing spaces. As an independent art initiative, LAGE EGAL (＝ location no matter) goes beyond the traditional gallery model by fostering collaborative and innovative curatorial practices. It works with a diverse network of artists, curators, collectors, galleries, museums, and corporate art collections, creating opportunities for artistic experimentation and dynamic cultural exchange. Its name, a playful anagram, reflects the platform’s evolving, nomadic approach.
After a two-month residency at the Rivoli building in Brussels, we are excited to announce the opening of a new space at Rue Saint-Georges 5 in January 2025, continuing our commitment to innovative curatorial practices. Opening in Brussels was a natural progression, as both Brussels and Berlin are key international hubs with vibrant cultural scenes, offering proximity to major European cities and a thriving art community.
