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 GIF, we are put­ting together a pro­gram­me with Art Science stu­dents at UGent on young peo­p­le and child­ren as artis­tic part­ners. Together, we ask how child­ren’s play can be an artis­tic tool. We first watch Divinations (2019) by Sarah Vanagt, in which child­ren in Brussels, Sarajevo and Athens pre­dict the futu­re using a pro­jec­ti­on of mate­ri­als they found on the street. Afterwards, Mats Vandroogenbroeck and Jonas Baeke will pro­vi­de a rea­ding of their brand-new child­ren’s book Bambiraptor, based on the child­ren’s show of the same name.

All this will prompt a con­ver­sa­ti­on with mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­na­ry artist Junior Akwety, artis­tic peda­go­gue Maily Beyrens Xu and artis­tic direc­tor of Ghent the­a­tre for pre­schoo­l­ers 4Hoog Simon D’Huyvetter.
