Veva Leye, Jelle Martens, KIOSKexpoAgendaArtistic activitiesDrawing from seemingly endlessly proliferating word sequences—which arise from a single word through a simple rule and through association—Veva Leye creates montages that present the same words in completely different ways. Uncannily coagulating, these word images expand and contract in an accordion-like movement. A similar rhythm characterizes Jelle Martens’ (photo)graphic registrations that combine fragments, reproductions and trivial observations into layered prints and drawings. Every print layer, every drawing operates as a temporary frame bringing together images that only temporarily solidify, overlap, and fall apart again. Image and language tumble along, stumble upon. Letters form words form images reading looking.
Sentiments, Signes, Passions, Zwarte ZaalexpoAgendaArtistic activitiesOnderzoekJean-Luc Godard’s final film reworked into a room-filling installation by his long-standing collaborator Fabrice Aragno
A mushroom cloud, legends of film history, IS flags, sunsets in Tunis, scenes of flight, expulsion, execution and war: Jean-Luc Godard’s at once poëtic and political film Le livre d’image (2018) spans more than a century. It questions the production of images, art, religion, representation and law.
The filmmaker combined film and contemporary history in five chapters and an epilogue to create an associative collage. The exhibition Sentiments, Signes, Passions is conceived by Fabrice Aragno, filmmaker and longtime collaborator of Godard. It takes up the division of Le livre d’image into chapters, further fragmenting the parts of the work and unfurling them in space. The dynamic projection breaks with the chronological form of a film screening. Across dozens of screens, the audience can give free rein to associations and pursue their own visual lines of sight.
Deeply respectful of his mentor, Aragno travels the world with each time a different version of the installation. For Film Fest Gent he adds a new component, documenting Godard’s personal workspace: Et la nuit le jour.
This internationally acclaimed project offers a rare window into the director’s creative world, inviting visitors to wander through fragments of image and sound and step inside the mind of one of cinema’s most influential figures.
On display in the Zwarte Zaal, from Thursday 8 October to Sunday 18 October, every day from 12:00 to 20:00.

Image file
Your image file requires some preparation: you make a representative selection of images that clarify your interest in art, design and specifically textile design.
These can be your own images, but also inspirational work by others. (drawings, photographs, sketches, painted studies, photographs of sculptures or spatial work, graphic work, texts, poems, music, computer prints, stage acts, performances, exhibition catalogues,...) Candidates are strongly advised to bring not only reproductions of their own work (e.g. photographs) on the day, but also their own work if possible.
Candidates who have little or no artistic work can also take part in the test. You take your personal work from the file back with you after the test.
The candidate must provide a written answer to a general question on a current social, cultural and/or artistic issue. The aim is to allow the examination board to get an idea of the candidate's prior theoretical education, gauge language skills and their ability to formulate an opinion, develop a line of reasoning and edit a short written text.
During an individual interview, the candidate's motivation towards art education in general and the specific field of study in particular will be examined. The preparatory dossier forms the basis for an interview and questioning. It is important that the candidate can explain the elements in the dossier and clarify the study choice and expectations.
Interests, general and cultural knowledge, thinking skills, creative attitudes and insight into image-making are examined. Important qualities here are: critical sense, commitment, drive, love of art and design, perseverance, self-discipline and sense of humour.
Candidates work independently on the written test and practical tests. They will receive a time schedule for the interview.
On the day of the trial, you will need the following:
- the preparation file
- writing materials
- drawing and painting materials, basic drawing paper (A4 & A3 format)
- coloured pencils, markers, different kinds of sticky tape (including coloured ones)
- different kinds of paper, old magazines, packaging, etc.
drawing by observation
The assignment will be announced on the day of the test. This test gauges the candidate's aptitude for the subject of drawing: spatial insight, detail, proportions, perspective, composition, rendering of matter and the extent to which one can be trained artistically.
design drawing
The assignment will be announced on the day of the test. This test examines the candidate's imagination and degree of maturity in anticipating an assignment.
The candidate seeks as many substantive and formal solutions as possible in function of the textile design subject.
material understanding
The assignment will be announced on the day of the test. This assignment examines the extent to which the candidate can intelligently describe, trace and dissect a piece of textile.
Please note that locations and times are subject to change. Changes will be communicated on the spot.
On the last day of the session, there will be deliberation and proclamation, including a feedback moment. The proclamation will take place on campus and attendance is compulsory.
