Stefan Huygebaert, curator: “We show small statues that were and still are in people’s homes. From our own collection but also with a number of loans, including beautiful works by Yvonne Serruys, a sculptor from Menen, who had her own exhibition there a few years ago.
Human figures
The statues in the exhibition are often small. These are small works that you can easily move. Usually it concerns human figures. Intended to be placed on a rack or on the mantelpiece. “We see how a small sculpture is given a function in an interior. We have brought together an eclectic ensemble with a nod to design museums. With sculptures with a utility function. A lampshade, a paperweight or a flower pot.”
