1. Thursday 2nd June: Langage des fleurs et des choses muettes @ Albert Baronian, Brussels

As an analogy to the end of the gallery season, Albert Baronian hosts a group show entirely dedicated to perpetual reinvention. Merging artists with divergent backgrounds, the exhibition harmonises itself through modesty and fragility. Show runs until 16th June, and includes Donald Baechler, Sammy Baloji (currently with a solo show at WIELS), David Brognon et Stéphanie Rollin, Marie José Burki, Lionel Estève, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Ellsworth Kelly, Bernd Lohaus, Piet Mondrian, Éric Poitevin, Emmanuelle Quertain, José Maria Sicilia, Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Oriol Vilanova.

2. Thursday 2nd June: Imprints @ Harlan Levey

Harlan Levey’s last show of the season isn’t dedicated to a specific artist per se but, rather, presents the work of those artists on the gallery’s roster who didn’t get a show during the year. Connected not by a mutual theme, but rather by grey lines surrounding the subject of dynamic living opposed to passive consumption. Emmanuel Van der Auwera, Marcin Dudek, Petr Davydtchenko, Amelie Bouvier and TR Ericsson shape the exhibition by playing on accidents, coincidences, and the fine line between reality and subconsciousness.

3. Thursday 2nd June – Saturday 4th June: Intervention 3 & 4 @ Tique, Antwerp

Through ten interventions, Antwerp project space Tique asked multidisciplinary artists to experiment freely with different media. In this week’s instalment, Other Robots and Hantrax bring together video, performance and music to merge sound and image.

4. Thursday 2nd June Saturday 4th June: Strangelove @ Het Bos, Antwerp

5. Friday 3rd June: Collections finissage @ Maga, Brussels

7. Friday 3rd June: Radio Panik’s Wacko Party @ Les Ateliers Claus, Brussels

A hypnotic power trio (made up of a flute, double bass and drums), improvised performances, hard-edged techno and the Radio Panik Soundsystem. The cult underground radio station overtakes Les Atelier Claus for a night of leftfield sounds and sights.

For her first solo exhibition, Catharine Czudej presents a series of paintings encased in tinted plexiglass frames. Blending images from pulp-era magazines with influences reminiscent of classic allegories, her work distinguishes itself by its manual aesthetic and comic undertones. Exhibition runs until 16th July, alongside another solo show in Office Baroque’s midtown gallery space of B. Wurtz.

13. Saturday 4th June: SILO 002 @ Cinéma Nova, Brussels

15. Sunday 5th June: Birde Vanheerswynghels and Aiden Morse opening @ Tatjana Pieters, Ghent

Belgian artist Birde Vanheerswynghels‘ drawings evoke fragility and sensuality, her works clearly elevated by her textured stroke. Running alongside her exhibition, Melbourne-based artist Aiden Morse’s photographs – contain recurring themes of domesticity, glamour and monogamy – also go on show on the same night. The perfect opportunity to view the work of two artists on the cusp of greater things.
