About the exhibition

Spi­ri­tu­al cha­os – exhi­bi­ti­on as part of Memen­to Word Festival

We live in times when eve­ry­thing see­ms to hap­pen at once. It’s a lot. It’s busy. It’s absurd.

COU­PEE Col­la­ge Col­lec­ti­ve is hap­py to add to that.

With a love for non­sen­se and mea­ning, they embra­ce today’s absur­di­ty and chal­len­ge artists Nico­las Van Parys, Gud­run Somers, Michael Bou­chez and Bram Antheu­nis to give it artis­tic form.

The result is Spi­ri­tu­al chaos:

a field, a clown, a laboratory.

Art writ­ten in nonsense.

Legi­ble, but also open to interpretation.

Come along — becau­se some­ti­mes non­sen­se is exact­ly what is needed.

In addi­ti­on to the work of COU­PEE, you are also invi­ted to Jan Cat­te­be­ke and Sofie Bau­wens’ Eiland Trak­tor (Trak­tor Island).

Dis­co­ver a tsuna­mi of absurd but at the same time honest texts, illu­stra­ti­ons and sto­ries, born out of their friends­hip and sha­red imagination.

You can admi­re the results from 13 to 29 March at 4n20 during the week­ends from 2 pm to 6 pm. 

Par­ti­ci­pa­ting artists: Nico­las Van Parys, Gud­run Somers, Michael Bou­chez, Bram Antheu­nis, Jan Cat­te­be­ke and Sofie Bauwens

This exhi­bi­ti­on has been orga­ni­sed in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Kort­rijk Public Libra­ry, 4n20 Ruim­te voor Kunst, Kunst­werk­plaats de Zand­berg and COU­PEE col­la­ge col­lec­ti­ve and can be vie­wed on Fri­day 13 March 2026 from 6 pm to 10 pm and on Satur­days 14, 21 and 28 March 2026 and Sun­days 15, 22 and 29 March 2026, from 2 pm to 6 pm.

About the location

4n20 is a non-pro­fit spa­ce for art in a for­mer wea­ving fac­to­ry. A spa­ce that bre­a­thes his­to­ry, a relic of Kort­rijk’s tex­ti­le past. The stu­dio has a soul and is the car­ri­er of the art that is shown the­re. 4n20 annu­al­ly orga­ni­zes a num­ber of exhi­bi­ti­ons with a diver­si­ty of con­tem­po­ra­ry works of art, in which dif­fe­rent dis­ci­pli­nes are dis­cus­sed. 4n20 offers spa­ce for visu­al art by esta­blis­hed and les­ser-known artists. The­re is also room for expe­ri­men­ta­ti­on, music, dan­ce and word art.
