Fries in depth

Chips have been an important part of our culture. Therefore you can't love this golden yellow treasure. In order to put french fries in the spotlight, VLAM called the 'Week of the Frie' in life.

As a result of that fry week we were contacted by Walkie Talkie with the request for a famous Flemish street artist to provide them with a work. The Ghent artist Maarten Leenknecht made a work that can be seen from the Ajuinlei. In his typographic style he wrote 'Anja de laatste friet moet je mij nog schenken', a link to the song 'Anja' by Ghent singer and legend Luc De Vos.

The wall was officially unveiled on 29/11/2020, exactly six years after his death. We hope that this wall would have pleased him.

WATERWEG — Kunst langs de Gentse waterlijn

Water vormt al eeuwenlang de ruggengraat van Gent. De Leie en de Schelde tekenen niet alleen de grenzen van de stad, maar verbinden ook buurten, functies en ritmes. Met het project WATERWEG, gerealiseerd binnen het wijkbudget van de Binnenstad, werd die waterlijn tijdelijk ingezet als drager voor hedendaagse kunst.

Het uitgangspunt was eenvoudig: onderzoeken hoe kunst een betekenisvolle rol kan spelen langs de Gentse waterwegen, zonder de plek te domineren. Niet één centrale locatie, maar een reeks kleine ingrepen, verspreid langs de oevers. In de praktijk kwam de focus te liggen op het traject tussen het Patershol en De Krook.

Planned For Demolition

In een voormalige supermarkt te Gent ontstaat een tijdelijke tentoonstelling, vlak voor het gebouw verdwijnt. Kunstenaars vullen de lege muren en open ruimten met werk dat specifiek voor dit korte moment wordt gemaakt, volledig bewust van zijn vergankelijkheid. De structuur, het achtergelaten materiaal en de rauwe sfeer van het pand vormen mee het decor en de inspiratiebron.
