Everything That Holds Everything Apart brings together the works of  Bart Stolle, Joanne Igbuwe and Arto van Hasselt in a dialogue about structure, identity and transformation. Although their visual languages differ radically, all three artists examine how systems—whether technological, emotional or organic—shape the way we exist and relate to the world.

Bart Stolle constructs meticulously ordered universes. Working under the name Low Fixed Media Show, he navigates the territory between computer logic and human intuition. His paintings and drawings appear algorithmic, almost digitally generated, yet they are the result of intense manual labor and self-imposed rules. Through geometric abstraction, cobalt blues and cadmium oranges, Stolle reflects on early modernist ideals while questioning the rise of artificial intelligence. His work insists on the irreducible presence of the human hand.

Where Stolle builds systems of logic, Joanne Igbuwe constructs emotional and cultural archives. Her multidisciplinary practice—spanning photography, ceramics, painting, text, and installation—explores identity, colour, and belonging. Drawing from personal and collective histories, she develops a self-curated emotional archive that evolves continuously. In her work, memory is not static but alive, layered, and relational. Through poetic yet socially engaged gestures, Igbuwe asks how culture is preserved, embodied, and reimagined. Her archive becomes both sanctuary, a living system shaped by care and reflection.

Arto van Hasselt approaches systems through transformation and play. His recurring monsters and whimsical figures shift across drawings, paintings, sculpture, and video. Through tactile experimentation and intuitive tinkering, he examines the fragile relationship between intimate bodies and larger infrastructures. In the series reflecting on queer fragility and ephemerality, the garden becomes a temporary archive of touch, voice, and presence. Flowers, conversations, gestures—collected and reconfigured—form translucent loops of memory. 

Together, these artists propose different but interconnected light, logical, emotional, and organic archive. The exhibition unfolds as a space where structure and vulnerability coexist—where repetition, care, and imagination resist disappearance.
