Exhibitions

De Koolputten - once a thriving coal mining company in the middle of the 20th century, currently a mix of B&B, restaurant, event venue and exhibition space - organizes an art forum called ‘heirs of Leonardo da Vinci’ which includes artworks of Koen Vanmechelen from 10th July until 18th September 2022.

Since 17 May 2022, 'The Walking Egg' has been gracing the entrance to Cultuurcentrum Schardpoord in Knokke. The iconic 900-kg sculpture announces Koen Vanmechelens' solo exhibition Cosmopolitan Renaissance, which opens at the end of October 2022 in Scharpoord, curated by art historian Jo Coucke. Cosmopolitan Renaissance will consist of an exhibition of drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations and videos in Scharpoord's upper and lower galleries, as well as performances, outdoor installations, lectures and collaborations with MAAK - Open House for Arts and Zwin Nature Park.
