VideoDatabase – 3rd Carte blanche: Christophe Piette

Christophe Piette offers a carte blanche curated from the VideoDatabase, assembling archival moving-image works and screenings. The presentation foregrounds video and film, including found footage and experimental pieces, to examine preservation, access and the material–human relations within collections. It traces Belgian presences in the archive and embraces a poetic register — humour, folly and audacity — while interrogating how institutional contexts and site-specific research shape selection, display and reception.

Iris Leroyer presents Rez:urgence, a series of material-based works exploring contemporary urgencies—ecological, social and philosophical. Working through matter and its memories, Leroyer probes tipping points between entropic decay and regenerative processes, where the living oscillates between collapse and resurgence. The exhibition gathers tactile, process-oriented pieces that reveal histories embedded in materials and invite reflection on emergence, imbalance and the possible forms of renewal. It forms a chapter of the artist’s Opus Carbone project at the intersection of art and ecology.

12 March – 16 May

Architecture of Memories is a two-person exhibition by German artist Alina Frieske and Swiss artist Tobias Nussbaumer. Frieske reworks fragments of online imagery into digital collages that question image production and contemporary visual culture. Nussbaumer constructs layered virtual and architectural spaces through detailed pencil and ink drawings based on personal archives. Together their works probe how images configure memory, spatial perception and identity, juxtaposing digital fragmentation with meticulous draughtsmanship.

Opening during Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

16 October 2025 – 30 August 2026

The MAH showcases Tonutopie, an innovative installation by German artist Hans-Walter Müller, a trailblazer in inflatable structures. This large, transparent, and habitable sphere, nestled within Vincent Lamouroux’s La Passerelle, offers a unique sensory experience. It delves into the contrasts between the fluidity of inflatable structures and the rigidity of traditional architecture, providing visitors with a fresh perspective on space.

25 March – 5 April

Curator Christophe Piette presents a carte blanche program assembled from a moving-image archive, juxtaposing video works, digitized files and archival ephemera. The selection spans historical and contemporary practices, using screenings and installation formats to probe preservation, circulation and public access to media collections. Through an exchange between institutions across cities, the presentation questions how curatorial gestures reveal institutional histories, the materiality of moving images and the tensions between conservation and renewed public visibility.

23 January – 3 April

Mitchell Anderson presents a new edition and bodies of work examining the legacy of post‑war astronautics. Drawing on graphite relics from a V‑2 rocket, children’s drawings and mural motifs, the exhibition stages colour‑in pages alongside wall drawings and hybrid objects that hover between craft and ready‑made. Mixed‑media pieces employ encaustic, embroidery and hand‑written texts to interrogate the rocket as an icon that condenses both promise and violence, situating technological histories within intimate material registers.

20 February – 29 November

Marie Ducaté presents Simultanés, an installation that transposes the spirit and traces of her studio into a theatre of objects. Combining ceramics, tracing paper, watercolor, textile and glass, the work sits at the intersection of pop culture and art history. The installation foregrounds a chromatic range from vivid colour to transparency and investigates the sensuality of materials, inviting close attention to texture, surface and the intimate relationships between form and materiality. Curated by Claire FitzGerald.
