We are delighted to announce that, thanks to the generous support of the Museum Dr. Guislain team and many wonderful artists, the exhibition and its opening programme are now taking shape and largely confirmed.
The opening ceremony will begin with a welcome address by Erwin Mortier, on behalf of the Museum Dr. Guislain.
This will be followed by a screening of a film by Bracha L. Ettinger, based on her Encounter Event presented in Venice earlier this year. Through a series of one-to-one improvised dialogues, Ettinger’s practice explores the boundaries and points of encounter between art and psychoanalysis.

The programme will conclude with a discussion led by Jamieson Webster and Bracha L. Ettinger, who will engage with participants in a conversation around the films and the questions they raise.
Please note that the programme is still subject to minor adjustments.
The exhibition will also open to the public at the Museum Dr. Guislain on the same day. Participants of Lacan Today 2026 will be granted free admission.
The works of nine artists will enter into the ongoing exhibition A Home of One’s Own by Erwin Mortier in the form of artistic “interventions,” bringing new encounters, disruptions, and dialogues into the existing exhibition.
The exhibition brings together works by:
Franck Ancel, Stephen Benedicto, Louise Bourgeois, Antonia Brown, Daniel Coombs, Evangelia Danadaki, Bracha L. Ettinger, Carmen Schmöl, Amber Wynants
