Congratulations to Julia Aurora Guzmán on winning the BHD Prize for her work 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯 (2026), which is now part of the Centro León collection and awards the Dominican-Spanish artist a residency at the Walter & Nicole Leblanc Foundation in Brussels.

The Higüero (Crescentia cujete) is a native tree of the Americas and has long been a fundamental material in both daily and ceremonial life. In this landscape-installation, Julia turns the higüero in an archetypal vessel of the center, associated with the womb, origin, and possibility.

Each vessel contains native matter from the Dominican Republic and is rooted with copper, a conductor of energetic fields. The four elements are arranged along a line within a logarithmic spiral, beginning with water, the origin of life, and ascending toward air, detached from the material realm. While navigating around it, we are unable to see what the higher gourds in the center contain, echoing our inability to predict the future.

The work unfolds through 19 metaphorical horizons, thresholds, and invitations to move between the known and the unknown, between presence and becoming. Each element marks a step in a natural transformation, ascending toward completion and transcendence.

On the last new moon, we opened our brand-new gallery in Brussels, responding to the universe’s wish for a Chiquita Room sprout to take root in the European capital. This video shows a brief glimpse of the first exhibition: ‘Once We Existed’, which opens the space with Pieter Laurens Mol (Breda, The Netherlands, 1946) and Laía Argüelles Folch (Zaragoza, Spain, 1986) on the passage of time, and which you can visit until 7 November.

This Thursday, October 8 at 19 h, we’re hosting a screening with Pieter Laurens Mol at our new gallery in Brussels to discover a selection of his films from the 1970s. Projected on Super 8, these works bring together a wide range of interests and forms: from playful gestures to reflections on different artistic disciplines and on human communication, all marked by the poetry, humour and curiosity that run through his practice.

Very last day today to visit us at 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐎𝐧𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬, where we are showing a solo project by Pieter Laurens Mol (Breda, Netherlands, 1946), which explores the lives and careers of some of the great 20th-century artists, such as Piet Mondrian and Yves Klein, through an indirect and often ironic lens. Rather than paying direct homage, Mol examines how an artist’s reputation is built up over time, using coincidences in their biographies and in space and time as conceptual material.

Using a wide variety of techniques and materials, as is his custom (liquorice, citrus mould, his own body weight as a press), this time always on paper, the artist offers an ironic yet affectionate take on some of his favourite influences and predecessors.

Today marks the start of 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐎𝐧𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬, where we are presenting a solo project by Pieter Laurens Mol

The curatorial principle for the booth explores the life and trajectory of artists and how Mol looks obliquely, often ironically, at the accepted reputation of some major twentieth-century artists like Piet Mondrian or Yves Klein. Rather than paying straightforward homage, he questions how artistic reputation itself gets built over time, using coincidences of biography, time and place as conceptual material.

This oblique gaze quietly disturbs the statu quo of what we think we know about these figures, while Mol, as an artist, looks sideways at the lives and legacies of his predecessors, with precision, sense of humor, and genuine affection.

Be welcome to visit us at Tour & Taxis until Sunday 4 October!

“Durante el mes de abril de 2024 viví sola en Berlín, en un piso situado en el patio interior de una manzana de Kreuzberg. Desde ese patio interior (patio de atrás o «Hinterhof») al que daban las ventanas de la cocina y de la habitación desde la que trabajaba, cantaban cientos de pájaros. También escuchaba de vez en cuando las campanas de una iglesia adyacente, ladridos de algún perro, la voz de un niño, el sonido de una cacerola en una casa vecina, algún instrumento musical, lluvia. Por una rendija de la ventana, cada mañana y cada tarde deslizaba la grabadora y, procurando no moverme, grababa un minuto de aquel ecosistema sonoro. Anoté: «He caminado y leído mucho, y escrito algo menos. He escuchado muy poca música, sobre todo al principio. La mayoría de veces dejo en la ventana una rendija abierta porque a los pájaros excepto por la noche se les oye todo el tiempo, y desde que llegué los he estado grabando mañana y tarde». Lo que recompone 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘧 es un tipo de registro sonoro desde el alféizar, análogo a su manera a 𝘍𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘬, 𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯 (2024), pues también desde esa misma ventana di forma a ese políptico de papeles secantes que conforman un registro de la intemperie berlinesa de mi casa de abril.”
Laía Argüelles Folch

Durante la exposición “Lo que tiene vuelo”, se puede escuchar la pieza sonora 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘰𝘧 (2026), de Laía Argüelles Folch, en dos emisiones diarias en la galería de Barcelona hasta el 6 de noviembre: la primera parte, Vormittag («mañana»), en la apertura, y la segunda parte, Nachmittag («tarde») antes del cierre. La obra 𝘍𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘬, 𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯 (2024) puede verse simultáneamente en la galería de Bruselas como parte de la exposición “Once We Existed”, hasta el 7 de noviembre.

‘Once We Existed’, by Pieter Laurens Mol and Laía Argüelles Folch, featured as one of the must-see shows of Brussels Art Week 2026 in AnOther Magazine

The exhibition marks the opening of our new Brussels space, set inside the historic Galerie Bailli Louise, the arcade that, in the early 1970s, became a hotbed for Belgium’s most radical art scene.

Two generations of artists and some shared interests: memory, time, and the traces of the past. Together, they echo the arcade’s own resurrection five decades later. On show until 7 November.

On the occasion of Barcelona Gallery Weekend we present ‘Hook, Line and Sinker’, a selection of editions by Pieter Laurens Mol. The Dutch artist produced his first edition in 1967 and over the course of his career has created nearly a hundred works of a multiple nature, which concentrate the totality of his artistic practice. These are not commercial reproductions or derivations of other works, but autonomous pieces, conceived from the initial idea and realized only once the concept is fully developed. Mol’s work is characterized by the inseparable unity of idea, form, material, and technique. For him, material is a direct carrier of meaning, and he uses elements such as lead, iron, paper, or sand for their symbolic, historical, and mythological charge, linking them to themes such as death, time, gravity, space, and human fragility.

__________

Con ocasión de Barcelona Gallery Weekend, presentamos “Hook, Line and Sinker”, una selección de ediciones de Pieter Laurens Mol. El artista neerlandés realizó su primera edición en 1967 y a lo largo de su carrera ha producido cerca de un centenar de obras de naturaleza múltiple, que reflejan de forma concentrada la totalidad de su práctica artística. No son reproducciones comerciales ni derivaciones de otras obras, sino piezas autónomas, concebidas desde la idea inicial y realizadas solo cuando el concepto está plenamente desarrollado. El trabajo de Mol se caracteriza por la unidad inseparable entre idea, forma, material y técnica. Para él, el material es portador directo de significado y utiliza elementos como plomo, hierro, papel o arena por su carga simbólica, histórica y mitológica, vinculándolos a temas como la muerte, el tiempo, la gravedad, el espacio y la fragilidad humana.
