With an interdisciplinary approach, Zoë d'Hont investigates how people experience space and place, how they move through it and how they relate to it. By re-interpreting and re-situating existing compositions, notations and architectures, she emphasizes the importance of observation, ritual and paying attention, aiming to give meaning to the world that surrounds us. The visual and auditory material she works with, derives from an interest in cosmology, nature and composition itself.
Pretty Edges en Volle Vlakken
Ornaments usually live in the margins, but Pretty Edges and Volle Vvlakes want to center them on the page. For this Swamp-weekend I create a new Slimtarra (tapestry), which is inspired by the recent Artemis II mission. The starting point is a spectrogram of the critical moment before the spaceship enters a 40-minute 'loss of signal'. The pattern that emerges appears and disappears in infinite space. See the website for the full programme.
Movement in Repose
Solo exhibition at Gallery Frank Taal, Rotterdam - Through the slow processes of listening, embroidery, and weaving, Zoë d'Hont (NL, 1990) explores a sense of place and belonging. Visual and audible waveforms emerge as dreamlike architectures and cosmic resonances. Sound, light, emotions, perceptions, fields of force, and energy—everything that exists—moves through time and space. During the exhibition, Zoë d'Hont will host a series of workshops focused on Deep Listening.

Wild Summer of Art '25
For the third edition of WSoA, is curated around the theme “Traces We Keep”. Set among the raw, industrial ruins of Brutus, traces of what once was and what could have been, the exhibition becomes a space where imagination can unfold freely. The past and future engage in a silent dialogue, brought to life by the work of 50 Rotterdam-based artists.
Huiskamer van de Kunstenaar
For 24 hours, the artist's living room can be visited both night and day. During this exhibition the interaction with art is brought back to the way of the artist. Blurring the lines between art and daily life, guests are involved in the domestic rituals of this changing space.
Connected
The artists in Connected all work with the theme of connection, each from a unique perspective. Their works offer perspectives on possible connections in contemporary society.
Werkperiode Cool Clay Collective
During my working period at Cool Clay Collective, I investigate the physical and aesthetic properties of sound and perception in the material ceramic.
