Liebesgaben –– Opening & Bingo Night

Saturday, February 14, 2026
Opening: 2 PM
Bingo: 5 PM–10 PM

We are pleased to invite you to Lichtekooi’s first Liebesgaben on Valentine’s Day!

We are honoured to present and offer works and editions by: Marie-Sophie Beinke, Anne Beumer, Aline Bouvy, Dora Brams, Pierre Coric, Pélagie Gbaguidi, Chris Hoeben, Vedran Kopljar, Hannah Mevis, Sandrine Morgante, Yemo Park, Daan Peeters, Leander Schönweger, Valgerður Sigurðardóttir, Clara Spilliaert, Stijn ter Braak, Sietske Van Aerde, Benjamin Verhoeven & Amine Lahrach, and Guy Woueté.

Inspired by the German Jahresgaben, Liebesgaben offers artworks at special prices while supporting local artists and Lichtekooi’s program. Half of the proceeds go to the artists, and half to the artspace. This solidarity-based model celebrates five years of collaboration and hopefully helps secure additional support for Lichtekooi’s continued survival.

During the opening, we will host a bingo night with prizes ranging from a sauna visit to art editions and original artworks.

Yemo Park
“Wollamhsram”

Exhibtion: 07.03.2026-17.05.2026


Yemo Park (°1990, Seoul, lives and works in Brussels) develops her artistic practice through self-contained, often absurd, fictional business concepts. Rather than aiming for market success, these projects function as conceptual frameworks that explore artistic autonomy, labor, the human condition, and the social forces shaping everyday life. In Wollamhsram, Park extends this approach by transforming Lichtekooi into a fictional house of worship centered on the desire to “enjoy time”. Through fiction, material symbolism, and moonshine, the project opens a space for questioning capitalist notions of productivity, self-control, and deferred gratification. Rather than promoting devotion to a fixed object, it invites participants to experience time as layered, collective, queer, looping, sedimented, and open-ended.
