WHAT

| More

Coup de Ville is an exhibition and city festival of contemporary art lasting from September to the end of October 2010, held in private and public locations in the city-centre of Sint-Niklaas. Key notions are integrity-led artistic engagement, dialogue, superseding cultures and generations. The title symbolically refers to an ‘occupied city’. 

More info

Inspired by Jan Hoet’s ‘Chambres d’amis’ of 1986, the exhibition wishes to offer a platform to contemporary art and artists, whereby a dialogue is engaged in with the surrounding area and its inhabitants. Jan Hoet has committed to his involvement in this and is actively involved with encounters and discussions within the educational programme. He shares the project’s curatorship with Stef Van Bellingen.


Contrary to ‘Chambres d’amis’ in ‘Coup de Ville’ not only are interiors in private homes used, but also gardens, museum and public spaces are proposed to artists as possible locations. Artists are invited for an initial prospection and decide on that basis whether they feel an affinity with the exhibition model and the challenges that emanate from certain places. We are counting on an approach that is both considered and involves integrity on the part of the artists, and we are open to the unexpected. The way in which an artist gives an artistic response often diverges from the question initially posed.


There is an extensive (art) educational programme aimed at various age and target groups. Just as ambitious is the topical programme of encounters, lectures, debates, performances, theatre and concerts.
