Description

Zebrastraat offers up-and-coming artists a platform to introduce themselves to the general public. Visual artists present their work under the name Showcase#art, whereas musicians showcase their talent in Showcase#music.

With the initiative Showcase#art, Zebrastraat gives visual artists who are not bound to a gallery (yet) the chance to show their work to a wide audience. An experienced jury makes a selection from the portfolios several times a year. Every year, 10 artists are chosen. They showcase their work at the XYZ Lounge in Zebrastraat for one month. 

These artists will be featured:

Showcase #02 Saskia Weyts
Showcase #03 Natalia Drobot

Every Thursday evening you can enjoy a concert in the Zebra Café. These concerts, organised under the name Showcase#music, offer young and upcoming musical talent a platform.  The artists/bands are selected by a professional jury.  One of them will perform on the main stage of Zebrawoods.

The square kilometre: Dampoort
Until09mrt. 2025
Ghent|Various
At STAMplein square, a separate part of the museum with changing programmes, you can visit the heritage project “The square kilometre”. Here you can learn all about the Dampoort neighbourhood. Historian in residence Tina de Gendt and researcher Thirza Vandenabeele delve deep into the history of the area around the Gent-Dampoort railway station. Contrary to Ledeberg, Rabot and Brugse Poort, which were the central topic of the project “The square kilometre”, the Dampoort area is not what you could call a “neighbourhood”. It is composed of parts of the districts Ham, Macharius, Dendermondsesteenweg and Antwerpsesteenweg. Prefer not to wait in line at the ticket booth? Want to be sure you can discover the STAM when you want to? Then book your tickets online in advance and enjoy your visit to the fullest. Are you driving to Ghent? First check whether you may enter the city centre with your vehicle. Clean vehicles may enter the city centre free of charge, polluting vehicles have to pay. Is your vehicle allowed to enter, but do you not have a Belgian or Dutch number plate? You will ALWAYS have to register!
To preserve is to stay! Koru ve yaşat!: Overview of the Ghent-Turkish heritage collection
Until31dec.
Ghent|Various
Sixty years ago the first Turkish migrants came to Ghent. Nowadays almost one out of ten Ghent citizens has Turkish roots. A group of young people of Turkish descent set out to find stories, objects and the meaning behind those figures. The focus of this search was the question of what should be preserved for future generations. With the help of their grandparents, parents and acquaintances, they looked for objects, stories and relevant facts relating to the Turkish migration to Ghent. The outcome of their efforts is a new Ghent-Turkish heritage collection. 
Private Passion Public Duty: Dialogue between Jan Hoet and Matthys-Colle

05jan. 2025
Ghent|Various
This exhibition examines the similarities and differences between the purchasing policy of Jan Hoet, the founder of S.M.A.K. (Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art), and that of the art collecting couple Roger and Hilda Matthys-Colle. Dr. Roger Matthys stood at the cradle of the Association for the Museum of Contemporary Art (V.M.H.K.), which had the ambition to open its own museum and also purchased art. As president of the association, Matthys had a lot of influence on the purchasing policy of the V.M.H.K. His private collection included quite some works that were exhibited in or purchased by the museum. Both collections are closely intertwined and complement each other. The Matthys-Colle Collection spans fifty years. In an early stage Roger Matthys purchased works of art for his private collection as well as for the collection of the V.M.H.K. In his purchases he did not focus on one specific movement, but rather created a collection that is representative of all art movements from the second half of the twentieth century.  In 2020, the S.M.A.K. received 39 works on long-term loan, which now constitute the basis for this exhibition. Both collections include or at one time included work by every single artist represented in the exhibition.  The archive exhibition on the upper floor delves deeper into the Matthys-Colle Collection and the figure of Jan Hoet, while in the room of the association of the Friends of S.M.A.K. you will discover a selection of works by artists represented in the Matthys-Colle Collection and exhibited by the V.M.H.K.
Together: Collaborative Art Practices

Ghent|Various
In visual arts, collaboration is often secondary to the romanticised idea of individual artistic genius. Challenging the myth of the solitary artist, this exhibition explores the unique dynamic of collective creativity and looks at how it influences artistic production. In addition to works from the S.M.A.K. collection, created between 1959 and 2021 by art collectives, artist duos or one–off collaborations, this exhibition also displays works deliberately designed to facilitate other works of art.  Includes works by: Philip Metten, Art & Language, Denicolai & Provoost, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Jos De Gruyter & Harald Thys, Flexboj & L.A., Narcisse Tordoir & David Neirings, General Idea, Gilbert & George, HAP, David Hammons & Bruna Esposito, Franz West, Heimo Zobernig, Danh Vo, Apparatus 22, Ex-artists' collective (Anikó Loránt, Kaszás Tamás), Audrey Cottin, Alexis Gautier, Anna & Bernard Blume, Brosi & Bonier, Engelbert Van Anderlecht & Jean Dypréau, SUPERFLEX, Marina Abràmovic & Jan Hoet, Guillaume Bijl, Allora & Calzadilla, Jacques Charlier, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Mekhitar Garabedian, Ingrid Mwangi and Robert Hutter.

The Shore, a place I'd like to be is the first solo exhibition in a Belgian museum of electro-acoustic composer and artist Tarek Atoui. He exhibits existing works and new productions. Sound constitutes the core of his work. Atoui is well-known for the sonic-sculptural landscapes he creates on the basis of sounds, images, matter, space, time, human actions and organic processes.

Ghent|Festival
The festival "Sorry, not sorry" always takes place in a different neighbourhood outside the city centre. This time around it takes place in the Ghent neighbourhood Moscou-Vogelhoek-Flora. At the heart of the festival, you can find the industrial site of the former weaving and spinning mill De Porre. Street art in the broadest sense of the word is at the centre of the festival. As always, the focus is on creative ‘underground’ and ‘out of the box’ art. The festival puts young artists and organisations in the spotlight and breaks down the walls between mainstream artists and street artists. The programme offers a rich variety of visual arts, workshops, info sessions and educational initiatives.
