JAMES ENSOR - IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS

Haven Surf is excited to partner with our neighbours at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) on a capsule collection celebrating The Ensor Year 2024. Just steps away from our store, KMSKA’s exhibition In Your Wildest Dreams: Ensor Beyond Impressionism offers an in-depth look at James Ensor’s role as a visionary artist. 

In honor of this exhibition, we’ve collaborated with KMSKA to create a special capsule collection, including limited-edition t-shirts and a sweater printed with iconic works The Intrigue and Skeletons Fighting Over a Pickled Herring. Crafted sustainably in Portugal, these pieces reflect our commitment to quality and creativity. The highlight of the collection is a unique James Ensor surfboard, developed in collaboration with Antwerp-based shaper Wabi Sabi, featuring Ensor’s famous Skeletons Fighting Over a Pickled Herring.

All proceeds from the surfboard will be donated to Radio Bart, a museum project funded entirely by generous donations. Radio Bart brings a distinctive, immersive experience to the gallery, where Bart, a visually impaired host, engages visitors in meaningful conversations about art. Visitors describe the artworks they see—exploring shapes, colors, and dimensions—while Bart’s thoughtful questions, such as ‘Does this piece evoke any memories?’ or ‘If you could step into the artwork, where would you stand, or whom might you become?’, encourage them to see the artwork in new ways. This project creates a dynamic and reflective connection to art, all made possible through community support."
