MEESSEN - Nicolás Lamas. The Failure of Order
14/09/2026
Sep 11, 2026 - Oct 24, 2026
Bringing together sculptures, photographs, assemblages, and installations, The Failure of Order investigates themes of entropy, cognition, material transformation, and the instability of meaning.
The exhibition proposes that uncertainty is not a flaw to be overcome, but an intrinsic condition of our relationship with the world; revealing that what escapes classification, measurement, and representation is not beyond our systems of knowledge, but constitutes a hidden dimension within every structure we create.
Rather than depicting the collapse of systems, the exhibition focuses on the inherent limits of representation and knowledge. It examines the gap between reality and the models we construct to comprehend it, revealing how each attempt to impose order simultaneously exposes new layers of complexity.
Abdijstraat 2a Rue de l'Abbaye, 1000 Brussels, Belgium
Opening hours: Thursday - Saturday, 11am - 6pm
