Joost Pauwaert’s solo ‘Hard Rain’ at Park Ter Beuken opens today in Lokeren. The exhibition will be on view from 13 June until 27 September 2026. Groendreef 8, 9160 Lokeren.
pauwaert was selected for the 2026 exhibition at Park Ter Beuken. Through his work, he creates a distinctive tension between monumentality, humour, and estrangement.

For this edition, Pauwaert presents Hard Rain. The title refers to the well-known song by Bob Dylan, yet it does not convey a singular or fixed message. Instead, the artist deliberately leaves room for interpretation: in a world where tensions are tangibly present, he invites viewers to ascribe their own meaning to the image.

Positivity as an Act of Resistance: In a climate where attention is increasingly driven by outrage, fear, and division, this exhibition proposes another mode of engagement. Rather than amplifying friction, it brings together practices that reshape how we relate to complexity, tension, and one another. Positivity is approached here not as naive optimism or denial, but as a deliberate stance, a way of holding space for questioning, ambiguity, multiplicity, and transformation. Across the works, objects, images, bodies, materials, and colours do not oppose one another, but coexist, overlap, and shift in meaning. Fragments are not resolved into a single narrative; instead, they form constellations in which different temporalities and references remain simultaneously present.
