Expo Seefhoek Series

Toneelhuis, Thomas Verstraeten, Fred & Ferry Gallery

Over the next few years, visual artist and theatre maker Thomas Verstraeten will be working with Toneelhuis on a series of urban projects. He takes his inspiration for his creations from recognizable urban scenes, events of all kinds and detailed observations of urban public space.
In September 2023, together with about five hundred local residents, Verstraeten created the seven-part location project Seefhoek Series, an ode to a hyper-diverse area in the north of Antwerp called the Seefhoek. The project was an attempt to penetrate the soul of a city district. It was a meditation on a resilient but abandoned neighbourhood.

In collaboration with Fred & Ferry Gallery, Verstraeten is creating an exhibition on Seefhoek Series in November 2024. Using videos, photographic material, scale models and installations, he is taking a fresh look at Seefhoek Series and trying to uncover new layers of meaning. The seven performances, which were originally scattered in different locations throughout the neighbourhood and at different times, now come together in the exhibition space and enter into a real dialogue with each other.

In the exhibition, through magnifications of reality, Verstraeten shows us the undeniable complexity of life in the city. Equally, he makes us witness to both the fragility and the vitality that make up the city.
