Curatorial Studies

As If More Could Save Us

With As If More Could Save Us, Curatorial Studies approaches the 13th-century building of Kunsthal Gent as a manuscript that is constantly being written and rewritten; a fragmented landscape in which exhibitions unfold over time. A selection of objects from STAM City Museum Ghent and the House of Alijn are brought back to their former location, where they are confronted with contemporary works by artists Danai Anesiadou, Pélagie Gbaguidi, Mélina Ghorafi, Leto Keunen, Susu Laroche, Pàpoo Thibau, and Julie Vanlook.

At the heart of Kunsthal Gent lies the story of Sarah Winchester, the heiress to a weapon manufacturer’s fortune, who relentlessly expanded her house with its endless rooms under the belief that she was haunted by restless spirits. Her house, with its endless rooms, staircases leading nowhere and looping corridors, translates as a ritual of building in response to uncertainty.

Mirroring this spatial imagery, Kunsthal Gent itself reads like a manuscript constantly written and rewritten; a fragmented landscape in which exhibitions unfold over time. After being built as a carmelite monastery in the 13th century, the building which now houses the Kunsthal underwent many transformations from opera storage to archaeological museum, and even to a squatting site.

In the spirit of Sarah Winchester, As If More Could Save Usreintroduces a selection of objects from STAM Ghent City Museum and Huis van Alijn to Kunsthal Gent, where they were previously exhibited during a time when the space still served as an archaeological museum. Placing the past alongside the present, the ever-changing environment of the site also gains an additional layer through contemporary artists Danai Anesiadou, Pélagie Gbaguidi, Mélina Ghorafi, Leto Keunen, Susu Laroche, Pàpoo Thibau and Julie Vanlook.

By bringing together historical objects, contemporary artworks and the spatial complexity itself, As If More Could Save Us explores how meaning is never fixed but continuously renegotiated. The exhibition builds on this evolving structure. Each space is shaped by what came before; a layering of gestures and intentions across centuries. Things accumulate here, like they always have.

Curatorial Studies

Curatorial Studies is an intensive one-year postgraduate programme covering key positions, legacies, ideas, and debates important to the curatorial. By drawing on the expertise of a broad network of cultural practitioners and institutions, the course aims to facilitate an environment in which a multiplicity of perspectives and critical discourses can thrive. Established in 1999, the programme is the result of a collaboration between KASK & Conservatorium/School of Arts of HOGENT and Howest, Ghent University, S.M.A.K. – the contemporary art museum in Ghent, and Kunsthal Gent.
