About GOGOGOGO
‘GOGOGOGO’ kicks off the programme of the first year of DMW Art Space (2016-2017). The expo presents the works of eight artists that have been selected to head a series of eight duo exhibitions with an artist of their own choosing. The duo exhibitions will be organised from September 2016 onwards. GOGOGOGO hence serves both as curated group exhibition and as a preview for the DMW programme for 2016-2017.
About DMW Art Space
DMW Art Space is a new project space in Antwerp. It focuses on the role of the artistic dialogue in the exhibition process. In line with this focus, the project space organises monthly duo exhibitions. These events show the works of an artist invited by DMW alongside the works of another artist that has been selected by the invited artist. The process behind the duo exhibitions is closely documented on the website of the project space.
The first duo exhibition at DMW will be organised in September 2016. It is preceded by a group exhibition of the invited artists in May 2016.

no walls expo, groupexhibition, Rotterdam, NL
This exhibition is part of the Flanders - Netherlands year 2015 who is celebrated
in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Cultural Agreement signed on
January 17, 1995 . The 'no walls expo' is based on the idea that there
are no cultural barriers between Flanders and the Netherlands and that strong
cooperation between the Netherlands and Flanders gives an interesting
interaction. The exhibition will show on an area of 10,000 sqm exclusively work
for which no walls are needed: "NO WALLS ". The work of young talent is placed
next to that of renowned artists. A dynamic interaction is created that way through
dialogue between the works.
