Passie en Obsessie
SteM -Zwijgershoek - Sint-Niklaas - 9/10/2021- 28/11/2021
“Where is the line between passion and obsession? What happens, once passion is activated, when the off switch no longer works? Is there a way back? Who determines what ‘the norm’ is? Are people allowed to be ‘different’ or do we stigmatise quickly? Is the difference between regular and artists with a mental vulnerability really that big?”

Salon des Jeunes
MSK - Museum for Fine Arts - Ghent - 07/10/21-16/01/22
“During the 19th century, artists exhibited their new creations at the triennial Ghent ‘Salons’, a combination of exhibition, art competition and gallery. This autumn, Schoonvolk, MSK’s youth crew, is breathing new life into this tradition with the ‘Salon des Jeunes’! They challenged young talent to draw inspiration from MSK works by old masters such as Ensor, Van Rysselberghe or Van Dyck, made when they themselves were still young, searching and green behind the ears.” – Schoonvolk!
