Pot-luck-night with School of Love

Pay what you can

Vrijdagavonden: Deep Hanging Out

  • Entrance: Pay What You Can
Deep Hanging Out – School of Love

School Of Love (SOL) is a platform for collective artistic practices, inviting people to explore ways of being and acting together. SOL’s activities experiment with forms of non-romantic love, exercised between strangers, institutions, colleagues, communities, generations and different positions in society. Love is more than a feeling, it is a mode of engagement with the world, a choice, a practice, an intention. In that way it is a resistance to individualist tendencies and can generate both societal and personal well being.

For this occasion SOL is organising a Deep Hanging Out evening at Kunsthal. Deep Hanging Outs are SOL’s regular meetings, which happen every two months in Brussels. These meetings are open to everybody to join and are based on a protocol of Checking In with each invites everyone present to share their state of presence and an anecdote on the question of the day. Out of these sharings we develop a collective reflection on our lives. Through the DHO we get together not in order to know what we want to learn, but in order to create an empty and empathetic space for the unexpected to emerge. These evenings are also brought together by sharing food - so feel free to bring something to contribute to the pot-luck.

Friday Evenings

Every Friday evening for 9 weeks, Kunsthal Gent will host a program centered around one or more artists, a collective or organization. From an artist talk, debate or book presentation to a performance, documentary or film evening.

The events are partly related to Kunsthal Gent's artistic program and have grown out of the courses of artists with whom we currently collaborate, such as the evenings with Eleni Kamma (in collaboration with Hans Bryssinck and KASK Performance students), Dieter Durinck and Ben Benaouisse.

However, much of Vrijdagavonden's program comes about in dialogue and collaboration with local partners and artists. For this series we collaborated with, among others, Lochness, School of Love, Martina Petrović & Robert Monchen (In de Ruimte) Filip Van Dingenen and Hélène Meyer (Piloot).
