Opening on 04 February 2026, Painting Rules marks the German artist's first institutional solo exhibition in the Philippines. Presented in collaboration with Taipei- and New York-based gallery Nunu Fine Art, the exhibition invites viewers to encounter Peter Zimmermann's luminous reimaginings of color and form across expansive, radiant surfaces.

Ronny Delrue is one of the most renowned artists in Belgian contemporary art. In the past five years, he has captivated audiences with major solo exhibitions at S.M.A.K. Ghent (2018-2019) and the CENTRALE for Contemporary Art Brussels (2019). Now, the exhibition “Every Stroke a Loud Space” presents Delrue consistently as a draughtsman—for the first time, not as a painter.
A unique exhibition design puts drawing at the center and invites visitors to rediscover the political dimension of drawing: not as a silent act of introspection, but as a loud and visible affirmation of humanity. Every stroke becomes a space for resistance, empathy, and social reflection.
Nosbaum Reding will be present at the 2025 edition of Luxembourg Art Week

Lisson Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Tony Cragg, centred on the latest in his series of Incident sculptures, alongside recent pieces from related, ongoing bodies of work. The show revolves around numerous upright forms that resemble standing figures or columnar pillars, but which are abstracted and complicated through Cragg's rigorous process of hand carving – whether through the act of building up and constructing or through careful erosion and hollowing out. The porosity and openness of these new Incident works collapse any boundaries between internal and external structure, between solid and air, creating sculptural moments that are at once transitory and eternal, organic and deliberate. A further dimension to these animated and gestural configurations – which seem to dance and commune with one another as though being drawn in space – is their hard-edged materiality, being variously manufactured from patinated bronze, reflective stainless steel or the velveteen surface of weathered Corten steel.
For over 50 years, Cragg has fostered a practice combining his interests in the natural and the manmade worlds that has nevertheless remained resolutely a product of his own invention, experimentation and imagination. The work entitled Path, a new 2025 iteration of his earlier Hedge series, only fleetingly recalls the twists and twines of the hedgerows he investigated as a child, before exploding out and growing into interweaving planes and sinuous lines. Cragg's newest work in the REM series, composed of stacked stainless-steel forms inspired by ancient headrests carved from tree branches, invoke the sense of dream and play in highly polished, repeating patterns.
Across his oeuvre, Cragg's focus remains on the expressive possibilities of materials rather on than any direct representation, harnessing instead the possibilities of movement, mass and molecular arrangement that are inherent in all matter. The recent Stand works in this show can initially be read anthropomorphically – as torso-like volumes with heads or limbs, attuned to the human, not only in scale and material presence but also in the way they invite a physical, almost empathic response from viewers – but soon transcend memory and dissolve perception, developing instead into original forms with fresh associations, both bodily and other worldly.
This dialogue between the figurative and volumetric qualities in the Stand series continues outside, where monumental outdoor versions are installed side-by-side in the external courtyard. At the heart of the exhibition, the internal courtyard contains Contradiction, a major green outdoor work in bronze that rotates between a whirling, centrifugal force and a towering verticality – seemingly defying gravity and pulling skywards.
Alongside an interconnectedness and shared complexity across all of Cragg's output, these works together present an artist who is not only continuing to evolve and enrich the range of thoughts, materials and forms involved in his creations, but also someone constantly pushing at the limits of what is possible to achieve in sculpture.
This exhibition follows major solo shows this year at leading European institutions in Dubrovnik, Dessau, Salzburg and Rome, as well as his last major display in the UK at Castle Howard, York (2024). It runs concurrently with a presentation at the artist's Sculpture Park Waldfrieden in Wuppertal (2025–26).
FLOATING ROADS refers to the various paths taken by artists. Intangible roads that briefly land in the monastery during the exhibition.

Yann Tonnar, La cité transparente
« La cité transparente évoque à la fois un regard traversant et révélant les strates historiques de la ville, et la technique employée, qui joue sur la transparence des images superposées. »
Ce projet inédit de l'artiste luxembourgeois Yann Tonnar, repose sur une série d'images composites inspirées des neuf lithographies publiées en 1828-1829 sous le titre Vues de Luxembourg – dont six dessins de Jean-Baptiste Fresez (1800-1867) et trois réalisés par son élève Jean-Nicolas Bernard (1803-1866). Sur le plan iconographique, ces panoramas emblématiques de la ville de Luxembourg ont marqué l'inconscient collectif, tant ils sont omniprésents dans la représentation historique de la capitale.
Près de deux cents ans plus tard, Yann Tonnar revisite et photographie les mêmes points de vue. En superposant ces photographies contemporaines aux lithographies anciennes, il explore les différentes strates de l'histoire. Dans une seule et même image cohabitent le Luxembourg de 1829 et celui d'aujourd'hui, offrant un voyage temporel de deux siècles rendu possible grâce au collage numérique.
Cette démarche fait également dialoguer deux techniques emblématiques de leur époque : d'un côté, la lithographie, une invention du XVIIIe siècle qui révolutionna l'art de l'impression, et de l'autre, la photographie numérique. Grâce au compositing, ces deux modes de reproduction s'entrelacent, donnant naissance à des œuvres hybrides qui interrogent l'évolution du paysage urbain.
Fruit d'une commande passée à l'artiste dans le cadre du European Month of Photography 2025 (EMOP), ce projet invite ainsi à une réflexion plus large sur les transformations de la ville, entre mémoire et modernité, et pose un regard inédit sur les enjeux urbanistiques, historiques, civilisationnels et identitaires qui façonnent le Luxembourg d'hier et d'aujourd'hui.

Painting after Painting
Contemporary Painting in Belgium
Painting After Painting showcases the work of over seventy contemporary painters living and working in Belgium. Without striving for completeness, S.M.A.K. attempts to outline the recent developments and trends in the medium. Despite the many claims of its death, painting remains a thriving art form. Artists today draw on the motifs and techniques of the past, but equally explore and push the boundaries of the discipline. Some create narrative works addressing their daily lives, political and social issues, or questions of identity, gender and representation. Others adopt a more abstract or formalist language and explore the relationship with other contemporary image-making forms.
Painting After Painting aims to celebrate the depth and complexity of the medium painting. The exhibition is complemented by a richly illustrated catalogue, featuring essays by Dominic van den Boogerd and Tanja Boon. Furthermore, S.M.A.K. will transform Room 1 into a painting studio throughout the exhibition period, offering visitors, including groups and schools, an opportunity to express their own artistic creativity.
