This spring exhibition provides a unique opportunity to explore his vision of value and creativity. Born in Hasselt, Belgium, in 1979, Schneemann transforms everyday objects and waste into thought-provoking artworks.

What to Expect
Titled "1 + 1 = 3," the exhibition features a mix of existing works and a number of intriguing new objects.

Each piece invites the viewer to reconsider the original function of these objects and their new meaning in an artistic context.
