S.M.A.K. goes MAD | Guillaume Leblon

Leblon049

After the exhibitions ‘Ungenau’ (Geel, 2015) and TRUST (Les Brasseurs, Liège, 2018), a new collaboration is being initiated with the PXL-MAD School of Arts in Hasselt. The umbrella title is ‘S.M.A.K. goes MAD’.

The exhibition includes a selection of artworks from the S.M.A.K. collection, which offers the museum the opportunity to re-establish a dialogue with the outside world (in this case an educational institution) via its collection. At the same time, the PXL-MAD School of Arts provides an opportunity to bring art from a museum collection closer to the students and to build up a related discourse.

The collaboration will consist of three exhibitions during the academic year 2019-2020. In an accompanying discursive programme, the project will be further explored through guest lectures and discussions with students, artists and other professionals. During the first exhibition, S.M.A.K. will show an installation from its collection: THERE IS A MAN by Guillaume Leblon.
