No. 39 - Autumn 2025

Please note: This issue is available in Dutch only.

See All This #39 is an issue about light. 'Daylight to be precise,' writes editor-in-chief Nicole Ex in her editorial: 'the momentous, the necessary, the happiness-bringing aspect of, and the human right to the gold of the sun and the silver of the moon. We have created a world in which natural light struggles to reach us, whilst artificial light fills every corner.'

That daylight has been extinguished also applies to museums, as you can read in a manifesto by three seasoned activists: visual artist Peter Struycken, emeritus professor of art history Wessel Reining, and former museum director Hans Locher, who wish to champion its return to the museum gallery — because conserving the work seems to have become more important than experiencing the colours as the artist intended them. Additionally, you'll find the ultimate exhibition guide for the new season, and we spoke with artists, curators, and museum directors about the exhibitions you mustn't miss. Furthermore: book and shopping tips for autumn, a vibrant Brussels guide, an extensive museum diary, and the garden section De Proeftuin.
