Description

L’année 2021 nous offre deux raisons de faire la fête ! La nouvelle extension tant attendue du Design Museum Gent va enfin voir le jour et le duo de concepteurs Muller Van Severen fête son 10e anniversaire. Et quelle meilleure façon de fêter ce jubilée que par le biais d’une exposition.

Cette exposition présente la collection du Design Museum Gent en dialogue avec le travail du duo de concepteurs dans une grande installation. Leur œuvre inspirante faite de meubles et d’objets sculpturaux interagit parfaitement avec une centaine de pièces sélectionnées de la collection du musée. Les salons historiques passent en revue leur parcours à travers les yeux de 10 personnages clés ayant influencé leur carrière.

Sorry, not sorry Festival: Street art festival
18mei
-
19mei
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.
Private Passion Public Duty: Dialogue between Jan Hoet and Matthys-Colle

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.
Funny is Black & White - Comedy Show in English | Ghent
18mei
-20:00
Ghent|Music & Concert, Show,...
Join Harshat and Fitz, two experienced comedians from Berlin with very different cultural backgrounds. One, a brooding bad boy having grown up in the hustle and bustle of India. The other, a confused small town country kid from New Zealand trying to adapt to the manic German way of life. Given these two vastly different backgrounds we have a mix of two competing comedic styles; dark, edgy and punchy versus warm, cute and absurd - you guess who is who. Both equally likable and hilarious. We aim to answer the age old question: is funny black and white? Or are there shades of grey? The Comedians: Fitz is a comedian who has performed across New Zealand and Australia to sell out audiences. He has brought his comedy to Europe having moved here in 2023. Fitz's comedic style has been described as warm, punchy and energetic. His shows are jam packed with absurd commentary on life in Europe and wild stories of growing up on a farm in New Zealand. Harshat Grew up between the chaotic concrete jungles and the equally chaotic countryside of India. Currently, he is trying to forget the Bollywood remix tunes but still bring a Desi angle to his comedy in Berlin. He derives his wit from his satirical grandmother and his comedy is based on real life observations and childhood tales. His funny bone was developed as a coping mechanism for his chaotic upbringing and is now used to gain the attention he craves. These two comedians couldn't be more different and have become friends in the most unlikely circumstances. With this show you are really getting it all, guaranteed laughs and very contrasting perspectives. Be ready to be left in stitches saying to yourself "funny really is black and white". Doors at 20:00 || Show starts 20:30

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. 
Belvédère: Exhibition of Marie Cloquet
Until08jun.
Ghent|Various
Marie Cloquet creates large-scale hybrid works that constitute a non-classified overlap between painting and photography. She reconstructs the places where they came into existence. This way her landscapes ignore the dividing line between nature and culture, between organic and man-made.
The Shore, a place I'd like to be: The first solo exhibition of Tarek Atoui in Belgium
Until25aug.
Ghent|Various
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. His installations always take the form of a participative workshop or prompt visitors to listen to the space, each other, and themselves.
