Antwerp Art Weekend 2024

K.A.D.E. (Kunst Aan Den Engie) is a group exhibition at the former ENGIE site at the Lobroekdok in Antwerp North.

The theme of the exhibition arises, on the one hand, from the physical condition of the place, which is located along the quay, a brick bank strip on the dock.

A dock is an anchorage, loading or unloading place, from which one departs and to which one returns. A zone for trade and a crossroads where all kinds of goods and people from different regions cross and meet each other. The waterfront is what brings them together

On the other hand, the theme of 'energy' is also included in the title, referring to the site's former activity.

K.A.D.E. is an exhibition in an industrial building, located on the shore. She is squeezed between the yards for the ‘Overkapping van de Ring’ and the construction of the new ‘Groene Poort’ district, but also draws inspiration from this changeable condition. Since the summer of 2023, the site has been occupied by about 30 artists from various profiles, who are building their temporary landing site and workplace there. They charge this space on the water with their art(s).

During AWW, Archipel will open their permanent gallery space at the new location, where monthly exhibitions will be shown. Expect a series of multi-disciplinary or site specific and eclectic works by Archipel’s old and new members, exhibited at the former Engie site & on the quay.
