Dear public, we look forward to welcoming you to the MBAL from October 11th 2025 to March 1st 2026 to discover the museum’s new cycle of exhibitions. Between sculpture, painting, photography and design, four solo shows by internationally renowned artists will joyfully invade the rooms of the museum. For autumn 2025, the MBAL will be hosting a dialogue between technical experimentation, contemporary creations, reflections and works from the museum’s collection.
Koenraad Dedobbeleer opens this cycle of exhibitions with a project previewed at the 13th edition of Art Genève in January 2025. For his exhibition at the MBAL, Decorative Chaos Dressed to Impress, the artist draws on a selection of anonymous works from the museum’s collection, reinterpreting them to give them a new visibility and a resolutely contemporary reading.
With Toutes le savent, même les anges, the Swiss artist and recent winner of the prestigious Meret Oppenheim Prize (2022), Klodin Erb unveils a singular pictorial universe, where expression, fantasy and references to popular, digital and artistic culture intertwine. Her experimental approach constantly pushes back the boundaries of the media she works with.
The museum is presenting the research work of French artist Agnès Geoffray and curator Vanessa Desclaux. In a co-production with the Rencontres d’Arles festival, Elles obliquent elles obstinent elles tempêtent examines the lives of young girls labelled as “deviant” and their treatment by society, giving them a voice and a desire for emancipation.
Finally, Swiss conceptual artist Urs Lüthi takes over the museum galleries with L’une ou l’autre vérité. By placing some of his most iconic works in dialogue with previously unseen creations, the artist will be revealing a new facet of his artistic thinking, which questions notions of identity and self-representation with finesse and irony.
