Opening · At an angle - A Word Next to Ours

19 artists from Atelier 180° take over the walls of Muo, opening a window onto the microcosm where a multitude of artistic worlds coexist

Atelier 180°, a collective of 24 artists sharing 650 m² of creative space across 23 studios in Forest, Brussels, takes over the walls of Muo with At an Angle — A World Next to Ours, an exhibition bringing together 19 of its artists.

Through this collaboration, Muo continues its commitment to offering new ways of experiencing contemporary art, building connections with artist collectives and creative spaces. More than a presentation of individual works, At an Angle — A World Next to Ours opens a window onto the microcosm of Atelier 180, where a multitude of artistic worlds coexist.

The idea of an angle becomes a way of approaching our surroundings from a slightly different perspective, somewhere between the familiar and the unknown. A World Next to Ours evokes a parallel world, close to our own yet not quite the same.

This idea also speaks to the concerns of our time. Environmental and social anxieties, inequalities and technological transformations challenge our relationship with the present and the future. Without seeking to directly illustrate these issues, the exhibition explores the possibility of imagining alternative realities.

By bringing these artistic practices out of the studio and into Muo, the exhibition creates new encounters and dialogues between works, while preserving the singularity of each artist's vision.
