Co-curator Geert Bruloot and writer Oscar van den Boogaard meet at MoMu for an in-depth conversation, moderated by literary journalist Jelle Van Riet, around the exhibition The Antwerp Six and the publication of two new books.
In this MoMu Talk, Bruloot and Van den Boogaard explore the origins, impact and lasting significance of the Antwerp Six, each from their own perspective: curatorial and literary. The conversation is moderated by Jelle Van Riet. A book signing will follow.
As co-curator of The Antwerp Six exhibition, Geert Bruloot contributed to a layered and richly textured portrait of the designers who put Belgian fashion firmly on the international map. Accompanying the exhibition is an extensively illustrated catalogue of nearly 400 pages, published by Hannibal. The Antwerp Six includes contributions by Tim Blanks, Romy Cockx, Kaat Debo, Angelo Flaccavento and Eugene Rabkin, and will be available from the end of March 2026 in both Dutch and English editions.
In The Six – The Untold Story of the Antwerp Six, writer Oscar van den Boogaard reconstructs the rise and inner dynamics of the Six through intimate conversations with the designers and those closest to them. He weaves their memories and experiences into a singular collective biography. The book is published by Pelckmans and will be released in Dutch in March 2026, with the English translation following in June 2026.
