Laurène Buchheit (°1995, FR) is a trans­dis­ci­pli­na­ry artist using instal­la­ti­on, text, and per­for­man­ce as resour­ces to build systems. Conceived as slap­stick sce­ne­ries, they blend assem­bla­ges invol­ving humour, play­ful­ness, poe­try and ele­ments of the realm with texts refer­ring to absurd situ­a­ti­ons, socie­tal codes of power, sexu­a­li­ty, free time, lan­gu­a­ge and so on.

Belgian artist Klaas Rommelaere (°1986, BE) creates textile artworks. His tools are needle, thread, wool and yarn. Inspired by films, comics, books and personal experiences, Rommelaere translates his ideas into puppets, embroideries and tapestries. Rommelaere's imagery is rooted in both everyday life and pop culture: quotes from films or animations are mixed with interpersonal observations and experiences. Larger scenes and whole images are embroidered. The results are layered, strange visual stories.

Kato Six (°1986, works and lives in Brussels) balances between abstract and figurative art. For her first museum exhibition this fall, Six brings different kinds of works together in one room, including new creations. Six works on different themes which she develops into series or ensembles. Architecture, design, domesticity and utensils all act as important references. Starting there, she uses recognisable and everyday materials such as MDF, stone, plastic or textiles.

Based in Kalmthout, Belgian artist Anton Cotteleer (°1974, BE) builds a layered and coherent oeuvre consisting mainly of sculptures. Cotteleer transforms human and animal forms and everyday elements from living rooms, such as a table, a banal sculpture or a blanket into alienating objects. Cotteleer is interested in disrupting our relationship to these domestic objects and to the vision of life that lies behind them.

Jan Van Eijgen (°1995, lives and works in Leuven) explores with mixed media and fungi how himself and others relate to deeply human phenomena such as suffering, transition and regeneration. Whether he is an artist, a doctor or an outsider, the results of these mind games functions as a conversation starter. He seeks out fields of tension and brings - whether or not far-fetched - analogies in seemingly very different research areas to light.
