Publiek Park

is a nomadic contemporary art project which takes public city parks and gardens as its exhibition grounds.  We invite international artists to create newly commissioned works that draw inspiration from and shed light on the surroundings of the location in a site-sensitive manner. Each edition is accompanied by a rich public programme, including music concerts, film screenings, performances, lectures, workshops, guided tours and more. The historical and artistic research, contextualizing the location and the programme, is published in the form of a Walking Guide, issued upon each edition of Publiek Park. The project aims to establish unique collaborations with artists and local organizations, activating the cultural ecologies of a city within a natural and architectural environment. Publiek Park is initiated and curated by Jef Declercq, Anna Laganovska, Koi Persyn & Adriënne van der Werf
