BREAKFASTCLUB is an inti­ma­te mee­ting with an artis­tic pro­po­sal and with each other. During a mee­ting at an unu­su­al time with a snack and a drink as a bin­ding fac­tor, other ways of sha­ring, loo­king and expe­rien­cing beco­me pos­si­ble. Gouvernement’s con­cept com­bi­nes artists’ pre­sen­ta­ti­on moments with a mode­ra­ted con­ver­sa­ti­on on the the­mes evo­ked by the works on show.

In the con­text of Playground, a yearly festival presented by STUK and Museum M in Leuven,  we put­ together a program on disrupting normalities. What is a normal artwork, artist, spectator and institute? How do we blur these normalities? We decided to use this edition to think about normality not just as a single person, but in the field – a playground of normalities.

After an intervention from Diederick Peeters, whose work inspired this edition, we will watch the short movie Show Girl by Amari, in which the stripclub becomes the stage of many gazes. 

All this will prompt a conversation, moderated by multidisciplinary artist Stine Sampers and joined by multimedia artist Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei and tbc.
