The Distorted Party,
part of the lille3000 Fiesta festival at the historic Hospice Comtesse in Lille, explores how beauty, chaos and festivity coexist in a world of turmoil. Artists Nadia Naveau (BE), Audrey Large (FR/NL), Kenny Dunkan (FR) and Willehad Eilers (NL/DE) challenge traditional ideas of joy and escapism. Their works - from playful sculptures to compelling installations - show how contradictions such as peace and chaos, tradition and disruption, can coexist Thus, The Distorted Party invites visitors to rethink the complexity of celebration and embrace life's contradictions. Curators Siegrid Demyttenaere + Sofie Lachaert.

Guided tour expo KEIKOPPEN + coffee, cake & prosecco
KEIKOPPEN offers a fresh take on the oeuvre of Lucien De Gheus (1927-2013), an idiosyncratic artist from Poperinge. As a sculptor, painter, designer, ceramist and glass artist, he united tradition and modern influences. Thirty contemporary artists engage in a dialogue with his work, with ‘Keikoppen’ - referring to stubbornness and resilience - as the common thread. The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover De Gheus' legacy from a contemporary perspective.
