For twelve artists from different countries, the exhibition Perché realizzare un’opera quando è così bello sognarla soltanto?* rounds off a two-year period of study at the HISK / Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten.

The HISK is a postgraduate educational institute specialized in visual and audiovisual art. Twenty-five young artists from Belgium and abroad benefit from personalized coaching and their own studio during a two-year period.
As per annual tradition, this year the HISK is organizing a farewell exhibition. Philippe Van Cauteren and Thomas Caron (both from the S.M.A.K.) were invited to curate the exhibition.

Perché realizzare un’opera quando è così bello sognarla soltanto? is divided between two locations. All twelve artists exhibit their work in the former Bayer laboratories of Ghent University. The result is a very diverse ensemble of drawings, video, photography and installations. At the S.M.A.K. one artist has left his mark on the museum collection.

The exhibition is accompanied by a publication, albeit one that does not take the form of a traditional catalogue. For Perché realizzare un’opera quando è così bello sognarla soltanto? each artist was given carte blanche to design a poster-size edition. The twelve posters, along with a thirteenth general poster, constitute a set which visitors can take away with them free of charge.
