De Flesjesfabriek
Lobster Robin
Summer in a bottle
De Omgekeerde Wereld, the pub opposite the Vooruit, had not been able to open a terrace for three summers due to works in front of their door. They started looking for a place where they could set up a terrace and found an old bottle factory in Ledeberg near the Schelde.
The pub wanted to transform the 700-800 m² site into a cosy summer bar where young and old could enjoy workshops, music, sports and much more every day. To make the terrace of De Flesjesfabriek attractive, they wanted to transform the bare wall into a grand eye-catcher. Together, we went to look for an artist that suited their style and concept.
Lobster Robin got to work on a wall of 140m² and painted his biggest mural to date in the theme of the summer bar. He was given complete carte blanche and creatively integrated their wishes. The character, who is surrounded by bottles, releases the summer from the bottle. Just as De Flesjesfabriek brings the summer to the old bottle factory.

Abstract Session — How it all began
Abstract Sessions originated from a simple but bold question: what happens when you dedicate an entire wall to abstract art? Together with a diverse group of artists from across Europe, we brought colour, energy and experimentation together in a unique creative process.
Waarom kunst in de publieke ruimte?
Kunst in de publieke ruimte is een must. Het toont wie we zijn of willen zijn als stad, gemeente of dorp. Kunst kan verbinden, verbazen, maar ook tot discussie leiden. Het stemt tot nadenken en gesprek. En is dat niet het doel?
Street art: the street belongs to everyone
Street art has long ceased to be merely "anti" or a paragon of anarchy. Today, thanks in part to this art form, the idea that public space belongs to everyone is alive.
