ARENA
Broeltoren Noord Kortrijk BE
16.10.2025—
02.11.2025
From October 16 to November 2
From Thursday to Sunday 11am - 6pm
Together with BRUT Collective, artecetera transforms the Broel Tower into a layered arena where the creations of more than thirty (inter)national designers, architects, and artists enter into dialogue with one another. Existing structures are questioned, unexpected connections are made, and societal themes such as urbanization, heritage, and collectivity are examined.
Spread across the floors of the northern Broel Tower - with sand and light as scenographic red threads - Arena reveals its diverse layers of meaning: foundation, construction, and debate. As a place in motion, Arena offers space for dialogue, doubt, and friction.
Talks - space is limited
October 18 at 4pm
with Felix De Clerck (Councillor for Culture Kortrijk), Hülya Ertas (curator VAi), Jeffrey Heiligers (designer and founder The Future Prospects Lab) and Laurence Petrone (artist and historian).
Gathering
October 25 between 4pm and 6pm
artecetera warmly invites its friends to discover the exhibition in the presence of the artists and to catch up over a drink and a bite.
☞ free upon REGISTRATION

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.
