The house remains - Antwerp

A Group Show brought together by Yves Michael with: Antoine Salalila,  Giovana Töws, Jolie Collins, Kalin Moradi, Matilda Skoglösa, Richard Brissaud, Tara Guštin, Zoya Ilina,  Reinout Van der Straeten, Elettra Bauer, Paul Folkert, Tiffany Moonen, Dmytro Zakharchenko and Yves Michael. It took place in the abandoned castle Hof ter Schriek, which we cleared out to show Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Jewlery, Costume, Books, InSitu works, video Installations and a Burrial chamber over 3 floors. The event was accompanied by two dance performances by contemporary dancers from amsterdam: Anastasiia Pavlina, Maude De Greef, Lotti Thomas, Lote Voiska and Victória Assunção and an artistic performance by Zoya Ilina. The evening was concluded with a rave. Music by Abraham Musashi Finer.

This was one of the largest projects I have concluded so far. It was super fun.
