𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 24.01–22.03.2026 Juli Bierich and mountaincutters, curated by CASTOR We are very proud to present our first project as CASTOR. 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 joins the practices of Antwerp-based artist Juli Bierich and Brussels-based artist collective mountaincutters. The exhibition runs from 24 January until 22 March 2026 and is presented at IKA Mechelen. Our sincere gratitude is extended to Kunsthal Mechelen for supporting both this project and our curatorial collective, and to IKA for making their exhbition space available. 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 examines the material, social, and cultural dimensions of decay and repair. By inhabiting moments of rupture, Bierich and mountaincutters approach vulnerability as a condition through which new forms of existence can emerge. You are warmly invited to the opening of 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 on 24 January from 16:00, featuring a live performance by Juli Bierich. We hope to see you there! Our best, Camille, Daniel, and Karel Made possible by IKA Mechelen, Kunsthal Mechelen, celador, The Green Corridor, and Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie (VGC). Graphic design by @septian.priyatna
