It brings together works by international artists, including Polish artist Agata Ingarden, whose practice intertwines literary, scientific and visual references, creating an immersive environment in which the chapel becomes a symbolic \u201ccocoon\u201d of transformation.\nAgata Ingarden\u2019s installation, The Dream House, is centered on a fictional community of \u201cButterfly People\u201d evolving within a system of control and surveillance. Her sculptures examine the relationships between the body, technology and systems of power, fully aligning with the exhibition\u2019s central narrative.\nA sculptor and creator of installations and videos, Agata Ingarden studied at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and also at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York. She creates objects and installations that combine industrial materials (metals, silicones) with natural elements and materials such as wood, sugar, oyster shells, beeswax and moths preserved in salt. Her complex installations, often made up of multiple elements, are enriched by narrative components in the form of sound and video. Her work can be read as a commentary on the ambiguous relationship between nature and technology in the age of the Anthropocene \u2014 or even as a post-apocalyptic vision of a world without humans.\n\u00a9 Archiwum Muzeum Sztuki w \u0141odzi, photo: HaWa\nMOThS with Kim Farkas, Agata Ingarden, Minne Kersten, Vibeke Mascini, M\u00f3nica Mays and Chantal van Rijt.\nOPENING:Friday, 17 April, 6\u201310 pm\nEXHIBITION:18 April \u2013 10 May 2026Boondael Chapel Art CentreSquare du Vieux Tilleul 10, 1050 Ixellesmore info\nPUBLIC PROGRAMME:\nWeekly guided tours by Koi PersynEvery Saturday, 8 pmChapel of Boondael - Square du Vieux Tilleul 10, 1050 Ixelles\nArtist talks on \u2018dreaming\u2019 in collaboration with KomplotConversation between Minne Kersten, Agata Ingarden, Natalija Gucheva and Julia Tr\u00f6scherSunday 19 april, 2 pmcelador - Avenue Jef Lambeaux 23, 1060 Saint-Gilles\n\u2018A good night for mothing\u2019 - moth spotting in Bois de la CambreSaturday 25 april, 9 pmStart at Chapel of Boondael\u00a0Square du Vieux Tilleul 10, 1050 Ixelles\nCaterpillar and moth collectionsGuided visit with \u2018Lepidoptera\u2019 collection manager Stefan Kerkhof and Chantal van RijtThursday 30 april, 2 pmRoyal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences Rue Vautier 29, 1000 Brussels\n\u2018Cine-moth\u2019 - a film-eveningWednesday 6 april, 8 pmKomplot - Place du Conseil 4, 1070 Anderlecht \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2026\/03\/31\/art-brussels-exhibition-moths-with-agata-ingarden\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Obraz3-2.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/Obraz3-2.jpg","width":856,"height":481},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2026\/03\/31\/art-brussels-exhibition-moths-with-agata-ingarden\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Art Brussels: Exhibition \u00ab MOThS \u00bb with Agata Ingarden"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Brukseli","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/f41db53be78e91d342f7df407326d8f7","name":"missonea","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a34ccb132d984086e65e1c2c896f1bc7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a34ccb132d984086e65e1c2c896f1bc7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"missonea"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/missonea\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/227"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19757"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19826,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19757\/revisions\/19826"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
