Nel Segno Della Libertà

Complesso Monumentale di San Michele a Ripa - Rome - 12/11/2022- 10/12/2022

For this exhibition in Rome, artists from different European Union countries were invited to create works on the theme of freedom. In ex-San Michele Juvenile Prison, Lieze De Middeleir presents an installation with one sculpture from the series White bodies. The Series of sculptures travels around, and each time the artist claims a new place in the world for the sculptures consisting of casts of her own body, uninvited in the public space. ‘With this artwork, I want to emphasise the importance of ‘finding a place in the world’ for every human being, just as I claim a place for my sculptures. I hope that in future Europe, every human being will find a place in the world, society and environment.’

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!

SMAK - Urban Museum for Contemprary Art - Ghent - 11/03/2018

With S.M.A.K.H.A.C.K., young artists claim a place in the Museum of Contemporary Art. For one day they claimed a place with peaceful artistic resistance. They invited themselves for an exhibition in the smallest ‘white cubes’ of the building, the lockers. At closing time, they left behind their cardboard boxes with works of art. This was a project by Minus One.
