(1)

LAGE EGAL is a non-commercial project space co-founded and run by Berlin-based French artist and curator Pierre Granoux. Since 2010 LAGE EGAL exists as an artist's studio as well as a place to experiment with different forms of display in close collaboration with artists and guest curators. LAGE EGAL can be read identically from both sides, making it a perfect name for the space: Pierre Granoux al

so organizes off-site exhibitions in different locations, private and public spaces, in Berlin or anywhere else. LAGE EGAL translates from German to "Location doesn't matter", and it definitely doesn't: it is all about the quality of the artwork and the idea behind it.

Exhibition dates: JUNE 14 — JULY 4, 2026
Open hours: SAT—SUN, 2pm — 6pm

LAGE EGAL [LOODS 12]
Koophandelstraat 12
9230 Wetteren, Belgium

Echoing the famous song by The Rolling Stones, the off-site group exhibition GIMME SHELTER III resonates with the selection of works presented by LAGE EGAL (trans. location doesn’t matter), a nomadic gallery based between Berlin and Brussels.

Vincent de Roder’s invitation for this third edition extends the gallery’s fluid identity: a practice of displacement, relocation and the circulation of works rooted in the dynamics of contemporary art.

The selected works display their colours and abandon figuration to surrender to their own visual languages, inviting the viewer to enter the artists’ unique worlds. TOM FRÜCHTL’s raw gradients bleed into one another as if colour itself were under pressure; FRANZISKA REINBOTHE’s distorted frames warp the familiar until recognition gives way to unease; ASTRID KÖPPE’s strange metallic compositions hold light hostage in surfaces that feel both ancient and alien; GONZALO REYES-ARAOS’s deliberately “glitchy” visions short-circuit the image, exposing the fractures beneath; and VINCENT DE RODER’s silent bands and blocks accumulate with a quiet precision that makes the void feel densely inhabited. Together they form a body of work permeated by the tension of an angry world, where everything seems within striking distance — It’s just a shot away, it’s just a shot away. On the verge of collapse.

SURFACES by Wonkun Jun

Born in 1970 in Seoul, WONKUN JUN lives and works in Düsseldorf, where he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1999 to 2003. This exhibition marks his first solo exhibition in Belgium:

May 7—30, 2026 | THU—SAT, 2pm—6pm
Also open by appointment or by chance

LAGE EGAL CURATORIAL PROJECTS
RIVOLI BRUSSELS | Gallery #28
Chaussée De Waterloo 690 Waterloosesteenweg
1180 Uccle/Brussels, Belgium

The artist presents a painting of surfaces as a process. Through the repetition of numerous layers of color and their dilution until they are nearly erased, the pictorial field appears as a stratified structure rather than a fixed plane. The surface of the canvas is not given; it is consciously and meticulously constructed over time, recording both the addition and the removal of layers.

The canvas becomes an interval, an inframince: a space where the material process and perception intersect. The work resists immediacy, unfolding gradually over time and to the sensitive viewer.

LAST WEEK WITHDRAW .freitasjoao
Exposition « With/Draw » de Joao Freitas Galerie Lage Egal Rivoli 28 jusqu’au 2 mai 26

Quel bonheur de retrouver Joao dans une présentation de diverses œuvres montrant les différentes facettes de son travail qui, à partir de matériaux rejetés, retire de la matière pour révéler et tracer un nouveau dessin, une nouvelle texture.

J’ai particulièrement aimé les œuvres « sans titre » crées à partir d’emballages Tetra Pak en carton plastifié trouvés dans des chantiers. L’effet est troublant et très beau, comme une dentelle (la photo ne donne pas du tout l’aspect de la réalité de cette oeuvre dans les bleus sombres).

João Freitas
WITH/DRAW

Opening Saturday, April 11, 2026, 2—7pm
Also Open Sunday Rivoli: Sunday, April 19, 2—6pm

The works presented here proceed with a simple gesture: remove to make appear. JOÃO FREITAS works with materials rejected by the packaging industry, notably composite papers and surfaces from Tetra Pak. These supports, designed for the rapid circulation of goods, become fields of intervention. Their initial function is neutralized. Their surface is reopened.

Scrape, use, strip: work does not add to the material, it subtracts it. Each intervention removes a layer, thinns the surface, reveals an underlying structure. What appears is not an applied image, but an extracted image. The visible is the result of a loss. The drawing is born from the removal.
