Oleon — Patrick Croes
At the request of Oleon, we were invited to bring colour to the exterior walls of their training centre. The once sober façade, unchanged for decades, was clearly in need of a new lease on life. In collaboration with Jellyfish (Patrick Croes), a new design was created that finally gave the building the attention and energy it deserved.
Introducing art into an industrial environment is always something special. Strict safety regulations and practical constraints can be challenging, but it is precisely this context that pushes us to give our creative best. This project perfectly demonstrates how art and industry can reinforce one another.
Thank you to Oleon for their trust, and to Jellyfish for the smooth and inspiring collaboration. Thanks to this teamwork, the training centre not only received a new look, but also a strong visual identity that perfectly matches the dynamics of the site.

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.
