Komplot

http://www.kmplt.org Komplot is a collective of curators, founded in 2002 in Brussels.

It aims to accompany both emerging artists, as well as collectives and curators‧trice‧s in the construction of their artistic practices. In its nomadic beginnings, Komplot settled for several years at 200m from Wiels and developed an ambitious international residency program there. In 2018 Komplot moved to Anderlecht to continue its artistic, political and social engagement. The curatorial office

of Komplot is conceived in a collective and critical dynamic and proposes in its programming a whole series of forms that are likely to generate a reflection on the visual arts as much as on their relevance in the social context: exhibitions, editions, films, artists' books, meetings, workshops, events.

This time last year, 𝘈𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 took place at , responding to a deanery meeting room on campus filled with portraits and busts depicting central figures in the institution’s history—with one exception, all men.
The project invited Sanie Irsay, Nikolay Karabinovych, Celine Aernoudt and Lázara Rosell Albear to develop site-specific artistic interventions in this room and other spaces across campus, as an opportunity to collectively question institutional, historical, infrastructural and spatial hierarchies.

𝘈𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 was documented throughout, forming a short film of the same title. Situated somewhere in between a vlog and a documentary, the film captures the behind-the-scenes of installing each intervention at KASK & Conservatorium throughout May 2025. It highlights the project as a collaborative, collective process shaped by encounters and conversations, reflecting on the notion of an ‘intervention’ as not only a singular act or final presentation, but a continuous gesture of negotiation, adaptation, and engagement.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟯–𝟱 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲, the film will be shown at Komplot in a continuous loop and extended spatially with echoes of each artistic intervention reactivated in Komplot. During the vernissage, after the first screening of the film, there will be a collective reading of texts integral to the research project. We hope to see you there!

Last day to visit 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩! Open 14:00-18:00

𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 has been a project that spanned over a year and a half, beginning when the artists were first invited to take part in this endeavour. The project has grown through collaboration, conversation, and, above all, sensitivity and intuition.

“Natalija: There’s something really rewarding about seeing your passions recognised and echoed in someone you connect with. Altogether, it gives you more faith in the process, that this won’t only be understood, but also felt, even in something as subjective as dreams and memory. And then to find a meeting point in your interests is a beautiful thing.

[...]

Julia: I think for me it was really cool to hear you pitch your direction and the shift you envisioned. What you were describing was something I had been thinking about too, an interest I was moving toward but hadn’t yet incorporated. I had been putting it on the back burner a little bit.
It felt like confirmation that we were right to trust our gut. That makes me really happy, because the whole point of this exhibition is about feeling and being intuitive. So it comes together nicely.”

“When coming up with the title, I remember that the notion of a surface was something I had in mind. With rippling through, what’s nice is that it automatically implies a surface, and that something is crossing it.”

A focus on the 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 publication, designed by Emma Burel . Emma carefully considered the project and the artists intentions, translating it visually for the graphic elements of the exhibition.

Camille, Charlotte, Julia and Natalija gathered together on Friday, February 6th, at 14h in the afternoon. A month and a half before the opening of their exhibition 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, they took an active moment in time to have a conversation about their process during the project. Flow through their thoughts, reflections and unfolding ideas as the conversation continues across the pages.

They were in the company of Emma and PC Malet, who took care of the production and scenography of the exhibition.

The beautiful publication is available at Komplot. It’s the final weekend to visit 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩—open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 14:00–18:00.

Last Sunday, 19 April, we gathered for an afternoon of artist conversations on dreaming images.

Bringing together Natalija Gucheva, Agata Ingarden, Minne Kersten, and Julia Tröscher, the event connected two exhibitions, tracing how each practice gives form to the invisible realms of the mind: its shifting landscapes of fear, desire, and imagination, in resonance with influential writings and auto-theoretical reflections.

The first conversation brought Gucheva and Ingarden into dialogue around character-building, storytelling, and f(r)iction, moderated by assistant curator Charlotte Frenay. After a short break with coffee and cake, Kersten and Tröscher continued with a discussion on the spectral—phantasmagoria, metaphor, and elusive symbols—moderated by curator Koi Persyn.

This event explored shared synergies between the exhibitions 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 curated by Camille Van Meenen at Komplot and 𝘔𝘖𝘛𝘩𝘚 curated by Koi Persyn at the Chapel of Boondael, unfolding within celador’s third space, situated between both venues.

Both 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 and 𝘔𝘖𝘛𝘩𝘚 are part of the Off Programme, and are open this week from Thursday until Sunday. Make sure to go for a visit!

“In terms of the alter ego and inhabiting another self, it has always been important for me to actualise aspects of myself that I can’t fully express in reality through another persona. Not as escapism, but as confrontation, because you’re faced with these parts of yourself more vividly than with thoughts that stay in your mind.

As a performer, this opens a different set of possibilities, especially when working with emotionality. The skin you step into becomes a tool for navigating what you’re trying to uncover within yourself. It’s beautiful, but also frightening, because you begin to reveal layers that are difficult to process. I see it as a ritual within my practice, often leading to discoveries that move into other projects.”

“[...] I think the beauty of the symbolism in dreams is that you project yourself onto beings other than yourself. In one of the references I gave you, Susan Rowland writes about symbolism and nature and psychology and how the symbols in our dreams are essentially our minds processing things through the means of embodying ourselves through nature. Our unconscious talks to us in this way, which I think makes a lot of sense and is a beautiful process we already do naturally. If you think about it, it’s just such an obvious thing because if we have the ability to dream, which is a whole other topic, of course, but in dreams this merging just happens and it’s right there, inside, in front of us, you know? Experiencing our own porousness becomes so much more tangible through dreams. It makes them interesting for me to work with, because this whole idea of ecology, what attracted me to it was this idea of a porous universe where everything flows into each other, and it really happens when we dream and it affects us in our waking life. That is why I really like to engage with my dreams, because you kind of connect these worlds, and then through that, you learn a lot about yourself and through that you learn a lot about the whole world around you as well, how it flows through you.”

Here is a focus on a select few standout works by Natalija Gucheva from 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, still on view at Komplot. Come visit us today!

“I mean, [intuition] is my driving force. But for it to become your driving force, you have to sit down with yourself and build the confidence and trust to navigate with your gut.

I think it’s often described as a feminine trait, and I’m really proud of that. So for me, it feels right to begin from that standpoint, to work with the gut first and let the mind come along. Especially because it keeps reappearing in contemporary discourse. There’s a real need to shift the focus away from pure rationality.
I wouldn’t call it irrationality, even though that’s how it’s often portrayed. It’s more about embodying your emotions, listening to them, and being present. That’s why, for me, it was an easy decision to take, almost as a form of resistance.

Because I do believe that the personal is political. And I think we should move from that place. It’s the most secure standpoint we can begin from.”

Today, 𝙼𝙾𝚃𝚑𝚂 unfurls its wings, so we introduce the last artist:

Vibeke Mascini (b. 1989, NL) lives and works between The Hague and Mexico City. Using fluid media including video, installation, sound and text, she explores the sensorial scaling of abstract phenomena, particularly energy, with the intention to seek agency from intimacy. In long-term collaboration with scientists, engineers, policymakers, and musicians, Mascini proposes the development of a conscious understanding of electric energy as a force that connects species, media, environments and matter. By exploring the complex relationship between source and user, and focusing on the material implications of unlikely sources from which electricity is generated, her installations propose an encounter between memories, sensorial experiences and the emerging technologies of energy storage.

𝙼𝙾𝚃𝚑𝚂 is a nocturnal group exhibition, presenting the artistic practices of , , , , , , curated by , in the Chapel of Boondael.

𝙼𝙾𝚃𝚑𝚂 is co-produced by Komplot , part of Art Brussels’ OFF programme , and realized with the support of the municipality of Ixelles .xl , the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Polish Institute Brussels .
