‘I deliberately avoided getting weaving training so as not to know,’ Igshaan Adams explains, choosing instead to work through intuition, experimentation and repetition.

In this clip the artist reflects specifically on experimentation within Weerhoud, a title that loosely translates to ‘withheld’. Looking back through what he calls an ‘archive of failures’, he traces the evolution of his weaving practice and the discoveries that emerged through years of material exploration.

In ‘Igshaan Adams: Between Then and Now’, monumental tapestries, suspended ‘cloud’ sculptures and dance-based prints unfold as layered environments where movement becomes material and making becomes a way of sensing the world differently.

What should a museum preserve for the future?

Join SUPERFLEX at Mudam for the launch of ‘The Bank,’ a participatory project that invites visitors to imagine new kinds of institutions through collective making, play and conversation. Developed as the first phase of a long-term project for Park Dräi Eechelen, ‘The Bank’ asks participants to rethink the museum as a place that not only preserves culture, but continuously creates new forms of value.

Using clay moulds inspired by Mudam’s architecture, visitors are invited to build their own “banks” – speculative spaces shaped by personal visions, shared needs and future dreams. Over time, these models will form an evolving outdoor installation that gradually transforms with the weather before returning to the earth.

To mark the launch, SUPERFLEX will join us for a special artist talk exploring participation, public space and the future of institutions.

What happens when images begin to shape the world more powerfully than words?

Opening next month, ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ explores the cultural and political transformations of the 1980s through works from the Mudam Collection and archival materials. Moving between pop culture, media, technology and global politics, the exhibition revisits a decade marked by contradiction – where MTV emerged alongside the anxieties of the Cold War, and glossy surfaces masked deeper social and ideological shifts.

Tracing the rise of a hyper-mediated world, the exhibition reflects on how the visual culture of the 1980s continues to influence the ways we consume, communicate and perceive today.

For Igshaan Adams, weaving begins long before the loom.

Join curator Florence Ostende for a guided tour of ‘Between Then and Now’ and explore how movement, memory and lived experience shape the artist’s intricate textile works and installations. From monumental tapestries composed of everyday materials to immersive environments created through dance and touch, the exhibition reveals a practice grounded in collaboration, healing and transformation.

Bringing together more than sixty works from the past decade, this special visit offers deeper insight into the emotional and sensory landscapes that define Adams’ work.

What did the future look like in 2007?

As Mudam celebrates 20 years, we look back on exhibitions that challenged visitors to imagine the future could become.

On this day, Mudam opened ‘Tomorrow Now – when design meets science fiction,’ a group exhibition exploring the long-standing relationship between speculative fiction, technology and design. Bringing together contemporary art, architecture and experimental objects, the exhibition examined how science fiction has shaped the way we imagine the future, from domestic interiors to entire worlds.

Conceived as a tribute to Luxembourg-born Hugo Gernsback, who coined the term “science fiction” in 1929, the exhibition traced a century of futuristic thinking through utopian visions, space-age forms and parallel realities.

From imagined worlds and dollhouses to speculative banks of the future, these upcoming workshops invite visitors to rethink art, community and creativity through collective making.

My House, my DADA by Dadofonic:
Inspired by the playful universe of Simon Fujiwara, Collectif Dadofonic invites participants of all ages to create their own dolls for a one-of-a-kind doll’s house where iconic artworks are reinterpreted through DADOFONIC’s imaginative lens.

26– 30 May 2025 | 10:00–18:00

Building Your Bank by SUPERFLEX:
In a second open drop-in workshop, visitors can contribute to ‘The Bank,’ a participatory project by SUPERFLEX. Imagining new kinds of banks designed to preserve what we value most, participants will help shape a collective installation connected to a future intervention in Mudam’s surroundings.

30– 31 May 2026 | 10:00–18:00

Join us to imagine, build and take part in two evolving collective projects!

Step into the surreal and sharply observant world of Simon Fujiwara.

Bringing together nearly two decades of work, this exhibition explores the ways identity, history, desire and memory are shaped through images and performance. Spanning installation, painting, video, sculpture and storytelling, Fujiwara’s practice reflects on life in an image-saturated world – where authenticity and artifice increasingly blur together.

At the centre of the exhibition is ‘Who the Bær’, Fujiwara’s shapeshifting cartoon character who moves through art history, popular culture and museum spaces in an endless search for the Self. Across the exhibition, playful and unsettling works examine how contemporary culture constructs identity, commodifies experience and transforms history into spectacle.
