Bar Bricolage

Due to corona, Ghent's most famous summer bar had to close its doors for a long time. The energy and desire to reopen this summer was enormous! To emphasise the opening, Bar Bricolage wanted a colourful eyecather above their terrace.

None other than 'muscles from Brussels' artist Blancbec visited Bar Bricolage and helped to breathe new life into their urban jungle. Inspired by the post-industrial feel of the site, he served us one of his signature dishes of graphic delight

Enjoy a drink, great music, plenty of activities and a beautiful view at the Dokken's hottest hot spot all summer long.

About the
Artist

Blancbec (BE)

After spending ten years within the graffiti movement under the pseudo VEKS, he turned his work towards new approaches in the early 2000s. He then developed his first canvases with geometric writings inspired by graffiti. In 2002 he discovered the work of hand-painted and pasted posters in Barcelona, a revelation! This technique attracted him because he could combine studio work with urban activity. His own geometric construction and lively chromatic range create his recognisable style. Since then, bold protagonists have entered his world, which he continues to represent through new media and techniques.

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.
