Een nieuw woord voor ex, iemand?
Het is een woord dat veel en tegelijk niks zegt: ex. Zoals in ex-lief. Bij de ene is het gekruid met veel liefde, bij de andere compleet gedrenkt in azijn. In tijden waarin we minder zwart-witdenken over relaties is het tijd voor een nieuw woord.

If you donโt want to call it an ex, keep on organising events together, thatโs what Marie and Johannes did. Working on their friendship, they have to admit that it's weird but exciting to gather again in an โexโ context. Alongside their love for each other, theyโll share their love for music, striking a tone somewhere between casual and melodramatic. Love will prevail.

Maarten Bastiaensen is a poet and performer. After coming to the vernissage of (Ex)hibition last Friday, he spent the whole Saturday with his ex, on a trip to the seaside. He wrote the text 'We shall be birds' about this, which he will read for you on Saturday.

Weโre still over the moon about the amazing opening on Friday evening. Our hearts are full โค๏ธ
Thank you so much for coming in such large numbers, for sharing your own touching stories, your laughter and your tears with us.
It means so much to us to share our quest to redefine what it means to be an โexโ with you.
Thank you also to all the wonderful performers and the many kind souls who helped us bring this exhibition to life.

Was your romantic love ever a source for a creative act? Or could it become one?
(๐๐ซ)๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก is a celebration for all ex-lovers to come and share their gratitude for their history together in the form of a performative act. From music to dance, from poetry to moments of silence โ we are reaching out to anyone who wants to contribute something with someone they used to love intimately.
If you and your ex-lover would like to be part of our exhibition by performing something that you created or want to create together, please send us a DM.
Letโs celebrate this tribute to love together!

What is an ex? Something, or rather someone, you donโt necessarily like to talk about, right? A subject willing to inflict pain on your sorry ass heart which has grown so much since those days of amorous naivety. Of course there exists a group of lovers who regard their ex-partner in a more fluid way; meaning that their relationship doesnโt end as definite as the term โexโ implies, just as a novel doesnโt end after its third chapter. Lauranne and Jasper consider themselves part of that group.
After loving each other for 7 years their bumpy road to love has come to an end. Or maybe it didnโt. Lauranne and Jasper wonโt settle for simply being ex-lovers and are determined to explore their relationship in a way that is not romantic anymore. But how to call someone who is your ex but also quite isnโt? Through this exhibition they investigate the outerrims of our romantic dictionary looking for a new concept in which they can envelop themselves. So rather than just using this exhibition as a way of saying goodbye to their collective past, the exhibition itself operates as research for their future relationship without forgetting their past.
From this point of view the exhibition isnโt only a glorified memorial of the 7 years Lauranne and Jasper spent as lovers, moreover it is an exclamation of unconditional gratitude towards each other which can only be lost when using the concept of ex-lovers. So how should these two individuals call each other then? This question is central in their collaboration and is open to answers on your part.
Come to cry and laugh
Come to watch, listen and feel
Come to mourn
Come to love
Bring your ex
