The project explores the boundaries of art and design, juxtaposing the two disciplines. Additionally, the works are – literally and figuratively speaking – brought down from their pedestals, in a scenography that showcases appealing displays. The works presented feature names like Petra Blaisse, Louise Bourgeois, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Sonia Delaunay, Leda Devoldere, Martine Gyselbrecht, Christoph Hefti, Henri Jacobs, Hella Jongerius, Jean-Paul Lespagnard, Valérie Mannaerts, Chevalier-Masson, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Guy Mees, Muller Van Severen, Bertjan Pot, Robert Rauschenberg, Joanna Reuse, Viviane Sassen, Diane Steverlynck, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Rosemarie Trockel, Carole Vanderlinden, Rinus Van de Velde, Kristof Van Gestel, Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven and Franz West.
