Forty years after his graduation exhibition in KASK Ghent and fourteen years after his sudden death in Drubrovnic, Belgian artist Trudo Engels (1962–2009) receives homage from Various Artists.

The group exhibition ACADEMIA is a compilation of new works that look back at key moments in Engels’ career and life but also reflect more generally on art education, the art world, and the position of the artist in society.
Using all kinds of materials and forms, Various Artists invites visitors to have hypersensory experiences through artworks that raise questions about pressing survival-related desires, the viral competitive drive between makers, and the growing impact of artificial intelligence in creative processes.
