Spazio Nobile, founded in Brussels in 2016 by Lise Coirier and Gian Giuseppe Simeone, will soon celebrate its 10th anniversary. Since 2020, its domestic extension—Villa Spazio Nobile, formerly known as Spazio Nobile At Home—has offered a unique curatorial format within the founders’ private villa in Tervuren. In 2025, it will also mark its 5th anniversary.
The new exhibition, The Weave of Light, will be unveiled with a soft opening on the last weekend of September 2025 and will remain on view until the end of the year, offering a rare opportunity to discover exceptional works in the intimate setting of Spazio Nobile’s historic villa in Tervuren.
The Weave of Light explores the subtle dialogues between light, materiality, and human experience. Each work on view embodies light not only as a physical phenomenon but also as a metaphor for connection, resonance, and transformation. Through a choreography of reflections, transparencies, and textures, the exhibition unfolds a space where luminosity weaves together diverse artistic voices. Opening on 27 September as the inaugural gesture of Villa Spazio Nobile’s renewed programme in Tervuren, it marks the beginning of a cycle of exhibitions and events where inside and outside, intimacy and openness, art and landscape, remain in constant dialogue. In weaving practices and sensibilities through light, the exhibition becomes a prelude to the villa’s evolving role as a place of dialogue and cultural vitality.
Housed in a neo-classical, eclectic Art Nouveau villa built in 1900—with 1950s additions including a Cubex kitchen and Winter Garden—the space belongs to the Architectuur Wandeling (Architectural Promenade, Vlaams Brabant), close to the Africa Museum and the former Palais des Colonies. Its interiors have been sensitively reimagined by Belgian interior architects Anne Derasse and Sébastien Caporusso, while the surrounding gardens were redesigned by landscape architect Aldrik Heirman.
Over the past five years, Villa Spazio Nobile has hosted six collective exhibitions, presenting works by artists such as Vincent Fournier, Ernst Gamperl, Garnier & Linker, Éva Garcia, Kaspar Hamacher, Lisa Hellrup, Pao Hui Kao, Åsa Jungnelius, Isaac Monté, Païvi Rintaniemi, Bela Silva, Piet Stockmans, Kustaa Saksi, Jacqueline Surdell, Ann Beate Tempelhaug, Joost van Bleiswijk, Kiki van Eijk, Frederik Vercruysse, Fabian von Spreckelsen, Vera Vermeersch, Quentin Vuong, among others. Each curated exhibition reflects the gallery’s vision of bringing together contemporary applied arts and fine arts in an immersive, emotional, and site-specific dialogue.
The Weave of Light continues this curatorial journey, weaving together materiality, heritage, and artistic expression in a setting where art and life converge seamlessly.
