Part of this year's OFF program is Archipel, an artist-managed workplace in an urban development area in Antwerp North. Since the summer of 2023, Archipel has moved to its new location in the former ENGIE building. This site is currently occupied by 30 artists with various profiles, who are setting up their temporary workplace there.

During the Antwerp Art Weekend, Archipel opens their permanent gallery space at this new location, where monthly exhibitions will be shown. Expect a series of multi-disciplinary, site specific and eclectic works by Archipel’s old and new members, exhibited at the former ENGIE site and on the shore.

Additionally, they present K.A.D.E. (Kunst Aan Den Engie), a group exhibition at the former ENGIE site at the Lobroekdok in Antwerp North. The theme of the exhibition arose from the physical condition of the place, which is located along the old port, a brick bank strip on the dock. The dock was an anchorage, loading or unloading place, from which one departs and to which one returns. A zone for trade and a crossroads where all kinds of goods and people from different regions cross and meet each other. The waterfront is what brings us together.
