Gisteren kreeg ik de Henry van de Velde Lifetime Achievement Gold Award.
🏆 Niet als eindpunt — eerder als een duw in de rug! 🙏
Al meer dan twintig jaar werk ik samen met Bessaam El-Asmar aan DAMN° — een magazine gebouwd op vertrouwen, nieuwsgierigheid en doorzetting. 💪🏻 in het maken van ruimte, voor ideeën, voor reflectie, voor mensen en voor talent dat nog vorm zoekt.

Ook als curator blijf ik hetzelfde doen: ruimte maken voor talent.
Voor KASK, Design Museum Gent, Design Fest Gent, lille3000, onze nieuwe vzw DesignUndiciplined, … talent zichtbaar maken en verbinden is mijn grootste voldoening in mijn werk.

Ik ben dankbaar voor alle mooie ontmoetingen en trots op iedereen met wie ik heb mogen, mag en nog zal werken.
En laat ons ook elkaar helpen waar mogelijk:
steun Belgisch design,
koop Belgisch design,
en lees DAMN° magazine.

Love, ❤️
Siegrid

KEIKOPPEN, don’t miss it, still on view until 21/09!!!

The exhibition KEIKOPPEN takes a fresh look at the rich oeuvre of Lucien De Gheus (1927-2013), an idiosyncratic artist from Poperinge (Belgium). Sculptor, painter, designer, ceramist and glass artist, De Gheus knew how to interweave traditional art forms with modern influences. Curators Siegrid Demyttenaere and Marie Mees drew inspiration from De Gheus’ work and the region’s folk culture. About thirty contemporary artists and designers engage in dialogue with his oeuvre, with “Keikoppen”—a symbol of stubbornness and resilience—serving as the central theme. KEIKOPPEN invites visitors to rediscover De Gheus’ legacy in his authentic artist’s home and to experience his work from a contemporary perspective.

A hidden gem! The Niemeyer cultural centre in Aviles is the first and only work by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer in Spain.

Equidistant from Gijón and Oviedo, Avilés is the third largest city of Asturias population wise, and its name has been associated, since the late 19th century, but above all since the second half of the 20th, with the industrial sector. This field was responsible for its fast-paced growth in the 1960s and 1970s, for the environmental decay of its air and its estuary, and for the stagnation during the industrial reconversion of the 1980s. Following the example of cities like Bilbao, Avilés wanted to increase its touristic appeal and thus undertook a series of initiatives to recover the ria and the historic center. One of the projects included in this scheme was the construction of this complex, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Prince of Asturias Award, and that will gather different artistic fields. Facing the historic center of the city, on the right bank of the ria, the four new buildings will go up on a large esplanade for special events.
