Kunsthal Gent is an exhibition space where you determine your own ticket price based on the principle: pay what you can!
Art should be accessible to everyone, even those with a limited budget. You choose how much you want to give. Those who can pay more, pay more.
His Untitled (Plot for Dialogue) exhibition transforms the space into an unexpected meeting place that focuses on play, the senses and dialogue. Forget for a moment the traditional art viewing experience and instead step into the work itself.
A tennis match without competition
In the middle of the installation is a tennis court, but its purpose is a bit different than usual. There's no scoreboard, no winner and no loser. Instead, you play with coaches that are there, not to help you win, but to help you slow down.
The simple act of hitting a ball becomes a form of meditation. In a world that's often all about performance and speed, Raza has created a moment of calm, focus and connection.
That feeling is further enhanced by the setting; the exhibition takes place at Kunsthal Gent, in a former church space. Where only one voice once spoke, a place for reciprocity, play and social interaction has emerged.
Art you can feel, smell and taste
Raza's work stimulates more than just your gaze. He also developed his own fragrance and a sophisticated jasmine iced tea for this installation. The result? A total experience that appeals to all your senses - subtle, surprising and just a bit different than expected.
Fancy an art experience that you not only see, but also feel and experience? Immerse yourself in the moment, hit a ball and discover how surprisingly relaxing contemporary art can be.
