KMSKA LATE - The Art of Longevity

Category:

Performance

Date:

22 October 2026 from 19:30 to 20:30
What if a museum could add years to your life? The art of longevity…
On Thursday evening, 22 October, Koen Kas and Ph. Pillaerts will take you on a special longevity tour as part of KMSKA LATE.

No traditional keynote speech.
No endless slides.
Instead, a selection of artworks from the KMSKA’s collection, each offering a surprising insight into living longer – and, above all, better.

Prof. Dr Koen Kas – Belgium’s first professor of longevity – tells the story. Ph. Pillaerts (Apr. Julie Janssens) adds her own fascinating visual language. She transforms pills – usually symbols of illness and treatment – into art that makes us rethink health, vulnerability and beauty.

An encounter between the old masters and longevity science.
Between Rubens and biomarkers.
Between pills and purpose.
Between longevity and living an EPIC life.
