With a keen interest in the uncomfortable relationship between intimacy and voyeurism, Middernacht & Alexander thrive on investigating the psychological aspects of everyday life. Perception is a major theme, as are time, conservation and the human condition.The culmination of these themes is apparent in their choice of materials, which seem straightforward but are actually rather ambiguous. Middernacht & Alexander often look for materials that have fleeting characteristics, that oxidize or decay if left untreated, and try to stop them. In doing so tensions arise, which in turn tie in with what they experience as human beings.

The gallery is a continuation of curated spaces, each having their own unique narrative. The promenade starts in the famously decorated ballroom where Brussels’ bourgeoisie poses had their couture withered libretto: it serves as a prelude, offering all others into the diverse room that await. Adjacent to the ballroom is the re-imagined director’s office, seamlessly blending tradition with a contemporary twist and moving beyond, our classical write cube becomes the backdrop for wall pieces, sculptures, and objets d’art. The first floor unveils an uninterrupted space for dedicated projects, hosting solo and curated exhibitions, while the second floor unfolds as our showroom and polyvalent playground, adapting to the dynamic needs of the art and design community.
