LILI DUJOURIE (born 1941 in Roeselare, Belgium, lives and works in Lovendegem) is a Flemish visual artist who works primarily in sculpture, painting, and video. She mixes influences of Flemish Primitives such as Jan Van Eyck with her personal, late-1960s-based artistic approach. She has had numerous exhibitions in Belgium and internationally since 1968 and works with the Antwerp-based gallery Micheline Szwajcer, where she exhibited most recently at the end of 2022. This presentation coincided with the unveiling of a new commission Mimesis for KMSKA on the occasion of their grand re-opening.

ANGYVIR PADILLA (born 1987 in Caracas, Venezuela, lives and works in Brussels) creates immersive installations that distil the concept of ‘home’ as an intimate, secluded place and relates this notion to people and nature.
