KAOS develops art projects with artists who may or may not be psychologically vulnerable and has an Artists in residency programme in psychiatry. It brings art and psychiatry together and tells something about the perception of this.

Expo 'En nu !?!' @ EMERGENT

From 4 July to 14 September 2025, KAOS and EMERGENT (Veurne) proudly present the exhibition 'En nu !?!' (‘And now!?!’), a powerful tribute to the impressive body of work by artist Myriam Loyens († 2023).
At EMERGENT, her work is presented alongside that of related and befriended contemporary artists, resulting in a surprising and layered exhibition that anchors Loyens’ oeuvre within today’s artistic landscape.
