( s o o n ) is an independent private gallery space
showcasing up-and-coming talent, from within and outside our Belgian borders.
Situated in a duplex apartment on the 13th floor of the Riverside Tower, a brutalist gem by renowned architects Léon Stynen and Paul De Meyer overlooking the river, the rich cultural city of Antwerp and the harbour.

Locating the gallery in a residential home provides a unique setting for artists to show
their work and allows the audience to spend more time than usual in the gallery,
fully absorbing the creative atmosphere.

The artistic vision of the gallery is not fixed and will evolve over time and with experience gained. We will look into the possibility of residencies in the future.
The duplex is the last original duplex in the tower.
making it a proper architectural time capsule.

Looking froward to welcome you here in Antwerp ( s o o n ) !

    ( s o o n ) gallery

    For the 10th show at ( s o o n ) gallery we do something special. Not a solo this time but a group show ‘Cherries on the cake’.

    17 artists, a mix of new and known faces, not only present their proverbial cherry on this deliciously scrummy art-cake. In addition, they ARE the cherry on the cake. It’s a great pleasure to work with them and bring their work together.

    You’ll find work by artists that already showed at ( s o o n ) : Bram Vanderbeke, Sebastien Alouf, Wim Baes, Lieven Herreman, Emma Terweduwe, Lisa Tiemann, Dona’ Gillon, Arnaud Kool, Flo Bastiaensen and Michiel Deneckere.
    And there’s work by artists that have not yet shown at ( s o o n ) but who’s work conquered my heart: Bieke Buckinx, Delphine Cuelenaere, Hanna Ilczyszyn, Chiara Lammens, Alexandra Puscas, Noa Verborgh and Conrad Willems.

    Come by and taste a piece of that fantastic cake!

  • ( s o o n ) duplex | architectural time capsule

    Welcome to ( s o o n ) duplex!
    This spacious 2-bedroom flat is the last original duplex in the magnificent brutalist gem, Riverside Tower (1972), designed by renowned Belgian architects Leon Stynen and Paul De Meyer.

    In 2022 the building celebrated its 50th birthday and this milestone was marked by the publication of a book by architectural historian and architect Marc Dubois: ‘Riverside Tower Antwerpen, Iconische woontoren | Modern erfgoed’. Unfortunately the book is sold out in most bookstores.

    Besides being an architectural treasure and a fantastic home to live in, the duplex offers breathtaking views over the city of Antwerp and the harbour.
