The Collection's first show is entitled "Disorder in the house".
For this presentation, Walter Vanhaerents himself selected some 70 pieces from the collection, drawing mainly from works ranging from the late 90s until the present day.

The exhibition "Disorder in the house" is a non-modest display of young artists who have carried on with the legacy of pop-art in the past decades. The exhibition is set up so that the positioning of the works allow visitors to construct multiple cross-over interpretations. The show gives an accurate picture of the current international art scene, going back in time a maximum of one decade.

Curator's statement
"Being a perfectionist, I had a hard time allowing things to go out of control and living with the idea of disorder. But everyday one must do something that one is scared of.

I noticed that creating a dynamic disorder and implying a chaotic energy - chaos through movement- automatically led to form and plastic expression.

That is why I chose the title "Disorder in the house", taken from an album written by Warren Zevon, in which he expresses some artistic ambition when he sings "I'm gonna paint the whole town grey". I am thrilled to join him."
