For the exhibition Ping Pong, Belgian artist Philippe Van Snick brings together works from different periods in his oeuvre. The title Ping Pong refers, on the one hand, to the central work Ping Pong in the exhibition, on the other hand to the dynamics inherent in Van Snick's oeuvre.     

Grand Territorium from 2011 stands for the situation of art, an axis, an anchor in time and the affirmation of the presence of the artist, and was previously shown in  the group exhibition Dedans-Dehors at the Château de Lacaze.
