North Sea Port
in depth

From now on, North Sea Port (Ghent Port) will provide quayside electricity for inland navigation vessels, in Ghent and Terneuzen. Inland navigation vessels can now lay their diesel engines and tap into shore power.

A first for Ghent, which at the request of North Sea Port was converted into a very exceptional mural by top artist Matthew Dawn. In our opinion, this was a very challenging project. Fierce gusts of wind and wetness throughout the process were defied by our team. Also the necessary creativity to paint just above the water was needed. Fortunately, our team is logistically skilled enough to withstand any challenge!

The project not only provided a beautiful view for the ships, but also an excellent angle to communicate this news to the outside world. During the unveiling of the new cabinets, the press was numerous and looked with amazement at the extra addition and eye-catcher in the harbor.

Do you also have a project where you are looking for extra added value? We would be happy to look together with you at how your story can be creatively transformed into a true work of art.

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.
