The first solo exhibition of Berlin-based Polish artist Agnieszka Polska in Belgium, 'Flowers on the Sun', features a selection of recent works, including her latest film, 'The Book of Flowers' (2023), created with the assistance of AI-powered tools. The artist initially used stop-motion animation footage of flowers from the 1950s, which was then transformed into AI-generated imagery.

Between last summer and the publication of the monograph 'Out of Place' in November 2023, there was a landslide in Koen van den Broek's artistic evolution. No longer confined to translating the artist's framed reality onto canvas, he now directly engages with the raw canvas, using materials reminiscent of street workers—tar, asphalt, and traffic paint.
