About Sofie Muller

Belgian artist Sofie Muller (b. 1974, Sint Niklaas) works in alabaster and bronze sculpture and smoke drawings. Her main recurring themes are imperfection and psycho-physical trauma. Her most recent work includes human, battered heads of alabaster: a non-obvious and rare material in the world of sculpture. Sofie Muller's studio, part laboratory, part curiosity cabinet, offers a profoundly similar experience.
 

About Peter Buggenhout

Peter Buggenhout’s unpolished sculptures evoke images of chaos and disorder, of abandoned ruins and archeological findings from a different era. His oeuvre, in which he focuses on the use of abject materials, such as debris, industrial waste, horsehair, blood, intestines and household dust, contains both enormous installations and smaller works that are often presented on pedestals or vitrines.
 

About Sven Boel

Sven Boel is a Belgian sculptor and sculpture network member with prior training as a baker. He incorporates elements derived from language into colorful visual work. He makes sculptures, interactive kinetic work and performances. The emphasis is on the analysis of movement within the dynamic possibilities of language. The titles of his works contain a linguistic dimension, a reference to the idea behind the work, because the construction of the word remains subjectively visual.
