Mining the Surface, a group exhibition at Vedovi Gallery in Brussels, explores the concept of the surface in art from the 20th and 21st centuries. The exhibition examines how artists have engaged with, subverted, or transcended the traditional notion of a surface through various mediums including painting, sculpture, collage, textile, and assemblage.

The presentation features works by Jean Arp, Agostino Bonalumi, Louise Bourgeois, Allora & Calzadilla, Dadamaino, Lucio Fontana, Robert Ryman, Kurt Schwitters, Gedi Sibony, Gabriel Sierra, Rudolf Stingel, and Christopher Wool. It highlights artists who have reimagined the surface as an active site of inquiry and material meaning, moving beyond its historical role as a mere support or façade. The exhibition considers how these approaches destabilize boundaries between depth and appearance, positioning the surface as a dynamic element in art's evolution.
