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.
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.
Sorry, not sorry Festival: Street art festival

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.

Is het toeval dat ik cartoonist ben? Waarom werd de diagnose zo laat gesteld? Wat deed dat met mij? Hoe werken mijn hersenen? Wat zijn mijn zwakke punten? Waar liggen mijn sterktes? Waarom loop ik soms vol? Waarom zorgen frieten voor stress? Waarom staar ik in hotelkamers door het raam? Wat gebeurde er met de bloemen op de foto? “Mario, morgen gadegij naar de dokter” is een theatermonoloog van en door AAaRGh… over een cartoonist met autisme. Of is het een autist met cartoonisme? **** Deze voorstelling gaat in première op 23 juni 2024 & gaat na een passage tijdens de Gentse Feesten in het najaar 2024 op tournée langs meerdere Culturele Centra in Vlaanderen.
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.
Ghent’s Lands: A piece of urban history
Until29sep.
Ghent|Various
There was a time when Ghent owned 5,000 hectares of farmland, meadows and woods. Today the city owns 1,800 hectares of agricultural land, mostly outside city limits. The city in the countryside: what’s the story behind those lands? Where does their future lie? This exhibition will tell you all about it. In the thirteenth century, wealthy citizens of Ghent, abbeys and hospitals came into possession of land outside the city walls. The hospitals needed these lands to sustain them financially and to feed the poor and the sick. In the twentieth century radical changes took place in the agricultural sector as a result of the city’s expansion, the development of the port and the construction of motorways. The new Public Centre for Social Welfare (OCMW) and the social policy also contributed to this evolution, as food distribution was no longer necessary. Some of Ghent’s agricultural lands were sold and some fell into oblivion.  This exhibition highlights this chapter of Ghent’s history with the help of maps, paintings, illustrations, photographs, film footage and extraordinary objects. It also questions the future of these lands.
