Dear friends, in April 2026, we welcome Fabian Schoog, a.k.a. Margot. Open Doors on Friday 24 April!
They are a Brussels-based German artist with studies in Fine Arts and Graphics at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe and a diploma in Performance and Installation from ERG Brussels.
They co-founded the Brussels studio collective La Princesse and regularly participate in workshops, most recently at Kyushu University - Dept of Acoustic Design.
“I would like to simulate the natural habitats of the three snake species native to Belgium in the three different rooms of The Green Corridor Brussels – together with adolescents from the ASBL ‘Le Nid Marcelle Briard’ and with other invited collaborators.
I will provide various materials – plants, canvases, textiles, synthetic materials, paper, paint, wood, stone, and urban residue.
The aim is not so much to create a realistic replica of a natural habitat, but the information about the natural habitats is rather a starting point from which to create a speculative snake habitat in this particular setting.”

Michelle Mlati (b. 1993 South Africa) is a curator and researcher working between the intersections of art, architecture, and urban design practices that span from the 1960s to the present. She was as a curatorial assistant at Palazzo Grassi/Pinault Collection in Venice for Michael Armitage's (b.1984, Kenya) 2026 exhibition, The Promise of Change with over 100 works of paintings and drawings spanning a decade to the present, curated by Jean-Marie Gallais and Caroline Bourgeois and Hans Ulrich Obrist for the catalogue. She studied a BA Honours in Curatorship (2015) from the University of Cape Town and an MSc in Human Settlements from KU Leuven (2020) in Belgium, specialising in Art and Architecture. As a 2023 ICI Marian Goodman Gallery Curatorial Research Fellow in honour of the late Okwui Enwezor, she researched The Forest and Desert School, a Sudanese literary movement influential in modern and contemporary art in the East African region, including an interview with Sudanese artist Kamala Ibrahim Ishag (b. 1939) and podcast with Ola Hassanain for Storefront for Art and Architecture’s Swampland series in 2024.
Earlier, she curated the group show, Inceptisols: No Soil nor Sand (2023) as a resident at The Green Corridor in Brussels, featuring Ola Hassanain, Khaled Jarrar, Tibian Bahari and Graham Kelly. She has contributed texts in the art magazines Glean, Hyperallergic and Sternberg Press. Brussels remains an important artistic home for her practice as a former resident of the city.
Her residency moment continues her interest in situating artists like Chelenge to think about the representation of simians in art history by African woman artists, writing them into this long tradition, and how soil is integrated into the materiality of this work. Michelle researched Chelenge’s archives during her year working in Michael Armitage’s Studio, which she continues through her independent curatorial practise.

Welcome to ‘Bodies of matter’, which unites the practices of Louise Cremers (b. 1997, Belgium), Gayaneh De Coster (b. 1998, Belgium), and the artist duo Klara Gardtman (b. 1987, Sweden) and Matilda Svensk (b. 1991, Sweden). In this group exhibition, the artists investigate their enduring relationship to the material condition, where the material’s physicality encounters the visitor’s body as an equal being. By taking a vulnerable stance and dissolving hierarchical distinctions between body and matter, they open up ways to encounter the material fully and move in rhythm with its qualities. Sensing materials becomes a mode of knowledge in itself, one that follows the material rather than seeks to control or manipulate it.
