I Want to Hold You is an exhibition that foregrounds sensibility and the act of “holding” as intrinsic to photographic practice, reframing the medium’s seemingly flat surface as a vessel-like space where artists intentionally hold subjects, relationships, energies, and atmospheres close—creating room for intimacy, containment, and care amid an overwhelming stream of images and information.

Peep Show

at
1m3 - Kunstenbibliotheek Gent

With works of
Sophie Calle, Katrien De Blauwer, Raoul De Keyser & Roland Jooris, Marcel Duchamp (with works assembled by Francis Naumann, Ronny Van de Velde & Jessy Van de Velde), Pieterjan Ginckels, Philipp Gufler, Gerard Herman, Barbara Iweins, Katalog, Veva Leye, Louis Lüthi, and Stephen Willats

Peeping (noun, verb)

The act of secretly or furtively looking at something, often through a small opening or from a hidden position. It typically implies curiosity, mischief, or voyeurism.

Peep Show is an exploration of intimate gazes and the fragile tension between what is visible and what should remain hidden. It transforms twelve windows into peep holes, inviting visitors to engage in a quiet, yet playful act of looking. A curated collection of texts, photographs, objects and personal ephemera uncovers intimate fragments of life. It provokes a reflection on the in line separating observation from voyeurism, reconfiguring the act of peeping into a deliberate, poetic inquiry. In this realm, the line between observer and
observed gets blurred, asking us to embrace the inherent vulnerability of our curiosity.

She Must Establish Himself – Disrupted Repetitions, created through an interdisciplinary workshop between KASK & Conservatorium and the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and presented at deSingel during BLISS Festival, is an embodied curatorial performance inspired by Julius Eastman that translates his principles of repetition, layering, and parallel eclecticism into a collective sonic and spatial composition.

Dear Past, Let’s talk about Tomorrow.

This curatorial proposal uses the table as both object and metaphor to explore how memory and imagination shape shared futures, bringing together works by Carrie Mae Weems, Nan Goldin, and Faith Ringgold to create a participatory space where visitors gather, reflect, and imagine collectively, positioning the museum as a permeable site for dialogue rather than authority.
