No artist or curator starts at the MOMA. Most cultural activities first sprout in garages, flats, display cases, or other available residual spaces... This phenomenon occurs all over the world and the initiators of these exhibition spaces possess a boundless imagination and explore the limits of what is possible. Be it in a freezer compartment or on a cat scratching post, no space proves too “impossible” to be declared an art space!

This exhibition aims to highlight “exhibition spaces” that often operate in the shadows but are nevertheless an indispensable part of the art world. Lichtekooi aims to highlight and celebrate these artists’ initiatives and, above all, their generosity toward their fellow artists.

For this group exhibition, Lichtekooi is showing 9 "impossible" exhibition spaces that in turn present their own group or solo exhibition.

The participating artists are: Pablo Arellano, Amelie Bachfischer, Jolijn Baeckelandt, Diego Berruecos, Guillaume Bijl, Bildstein I Glatz, Christoph Blawert, Evelin Brosi & Elvis Bonier, Daniel Castrejón, Senne Claes, Jack Davey, Wim Delvoye, Ricardo de Oliveira, Emeline Descreaux, Veronika Desova, Ian De Weerdt, Valentina Diaz, Scott Clifford Evans, Daniel Ferstl, Peter Fritzenwallner, Gelitin, Aaron Harris, Flora Hauser, Kati Heck, Clara Lissens, Sophia Mairer, Piero Manzoni, Cildo Meireles, Ohad Meromi, Rufus Michielsen, Katharina Höglinger, Yemo Park, Paul Riedmüller, Heather Rowe, Hans Schabus, Mima Schwahn, Elisa Schmid, Clara Spilliaert, Jelle Spruyt, Vincent Stroep, Koen Theys, Ina Valentinova , Sietske Van Aerde, Eva van BemmelenPatrick Van Caeckenbergh, Jasmien Van Hoecke, Floris Van Look, Various Artists, Hans Wuyts and Davide Zulli.
