about Z-OUT
pit is a Z-OUT project organized by Z33, the house for contemporary art in Hasselt. Z-OUT came into existence from the conviction that there is so much room left for art in the public space in Limburg. With Z-OUT, Z33 brings art on location that dialogues in a formal as well as intrinsic way with the environment. Both national and international artists encourage passers-by and visitors to take a different look at the environment. All this fits perfectly in the mission of Z33 to invite visitors to look at everyday objects from a different perspective.
Z-OUT was initiated by the famous ‘Badeend’ (2008) by Florentijn Hofman and the mega sculpture INNERCOMA (2010) by Philip Metten. In 2011, pit takes off in the region of Borgloon-Heers.
Z-OUT is a long term project that will run over several years. In the coming years, Z-OUT will also settle in other landscapes and regions in Limburg, such as the mining landscape in Beringen, Eisden, Hasselt-Genk and Zuid-Willemsvaart.
