‘From an encounter between Voebe de Gruyter and Herman Labro [founder of Galerie Eve’n and Yet] arises a collaboration which, in 1996, results in De Gruyter’s second solo exhibition, Winterbeelden, this time in Louvain. Winterbeelden ultimately turns out not to be a true solo: curator Labro has one more ace up his sleeve, the Swiss photographer Peter Blatt and Lizz Kampe are also invited. However, there is no trace of De Gruyter’s co-exhibitors before or during the exhibition.

The 2020 encounter does not lead to a new joint project: De Gruyter declines. This happens against the backdrop of a relationship that becomes strained when, in 2015, De Gruyter discovers that the MOEV collective consists of no one other than Labro himself.’ Ref. “How It Functions – an introduction”, Rudi Salomon, May 2025
