24.04.25 – 11.05.25, Zeynep Kayan, Amel Omar, Reinier Vrancken, that slab of outlaw time

When endured, waiting is akin to a lethargic state, a prolonged watch where everything seems to stand still. Inwardly, thoughts are racing, reality is being revised. After the hospital was evacuated from the Bijloke site in 1983, Het Paviljoen was used as a storage area. For many years, it lay dormant, out of sight and out of mind before being transformed in 2006 into a stage, a vitrine for all to see. The exhibition that slab of outlaw time attempts to bring Het Paviljoen back into slumber, reclaiming its initial opaqueness. The works of Zeynep Kayan, Amel Omar, and Reinier Vrancken speak to the tension and boundaries between exterior and interior, the outer shell and inner fullness. They act as invitations to reflect on the parameters and gestures of vision, the blind spots, the periphery, and the pace of one’s perception.
