Sharing enthusiasm
Human/Nature
During the start of autumn, 'Human/Nature' took place in Kasteel De Cellen in Oostkamp, an exhibition with contemporary visual art in the offices of Callant Insurance & Financial Advice. Together with 24 artists, I investigated the complex relationships between man and nature. Mythology, technology and experiencing nature were some of the recurring subjects with which the theme was illuminated in an artistic way. 'Human/Nature' showed more than 120 works of art by both emerging talents and established artists. In the neo-renaissance castle, various art forms were on display, ranging from painting and sculpture, to photography and installation, to graphics and collage. All artists had a connection with Belgium.

ACTIVITIES
- Bookathon
On Sunday 29 September a bookathon took place. Under the guidance of moderator Yasmin Van 'tveld , seven book presentations took place by participating artists based on a Q&A. The group included Joke Raes, Nathalie Vanheule, Nick Ervinck, Stijn Bastianen, Lode Laperre and Tom Liekens.
- Open Bedrijvendag
On Sunday 6 October we joined forces with Voka for Open Bedrijvendag. On this day you learned more about the workings of an insurance broker. It was also the ideal opportunity to present the work of the artists to a very broad audience.
