De bezetting

Throughout May 2025, The Gallery transforms into a dynamic studio space, ‘occupied’ by ten artists. This unique residency brings together established names and emerging talents, working side by side in an open and collaborative environment that leads up to a final group exhibition.

Initially, I joined the project under my own name, but I soon decided to also step in as Franky Dalle – my other artistic persona. This shift allowed me to bring a different layer of creativity into the space.

One of the key pieces I’ve been working on is a replica of a Clicker mask from The Last of Us, made on request by a friend. I created most of this piece on-site at The Gallery, making the process itself part of the exhibition. Visitors could witness its evolution up close – and the final mask will be on display during the final exhibition.
