English:The Mothership (Q179369)

The Mothership is an artist initiative / small art space founded by Veronik Willems and co-run by Sophie Anson, Josine De Roover, Koen Sels and Rinus Van de Velde. We organize exhibitions by fellow artists with various artistic and other backgrounds. To do so, we start from artistic affinity and try to ignore a few (often artificial) boundaries and parameters, such as age, aesthetics, medium, genre, concept, (local) scene and so on. Not because categories and ideas do not matter, but because today it seems better to be aesthetically fluid and open, than to wallow in a sad narcissism of small differences.
