Schönfeld Projects

'être humain' brings together artists who each explore the human condition in their own distinctive way. Painting, sculpture, and performance converge in a layered reflection on identity, vulnerability, and human presence.
Featuring paintings by Albert Pepermans, David Horgan, Christina Zimpel, and Terry Ekasala, alongside recent sculptures by Vienna-based American artist Kottie Paloma, the exhibition presents diverse artistic perspectives on the human body and lived experience.
During the exhibition, Annea Lyvv Dreisz will present a live performance, unexpected and intense, as we have come to expect from her.

A special highlight of the exhibition is the collaboration between Albert Pepermans (79) and young talent Felix Franssens (11). Working from the same sheet of paper and the same theme, they respond to each other’s gestures, creating a diptych that evolves through a dialogue between two generations.
'être humain' invites visitors to pause and reflect on what makes us human - through image, movement, and encounter.

Schönfeld Projects in Antwerp is an extra location of the Schönfeld Gallery based in Brussels. The gallery, founded in 2018, zooms in on young and older, known and less known Belgian and international talent. She supports the dynamics in the gallery-rich Rivoli Building at collective openings and events, and she participates at foreign fairs and expositions. Schönfeld Projects opens connections to the Antwerp Art scene. It is a big space for projects of the Schönfeld Gallery: curated exhibitions, events, artist talks, short-term exhibitions, during art events in Antwerp and so on. A playing field with many possibilities.
