Publiek Park

Publiek Park is a nomadic contemporary art project which explores public city parks and gardens as its exhibition grounds. The project invites both international and local artists to create artworks that draw inspiration from the surroundings in a site-sensitive manner. Walking is employed as a curatorial methodology to discover the parks with artists, researchers, partners, neighbors and other stakeholders. Publiek Park aims to uncover the social and historical layers of public green spaces through a vibrant public programme that brings together visual art, music, film, and performance. Each edition is complemented by a Walking Guide, including artist's contributions, historical overview, and essays by contemporary thinkers. This comprehensive publication accompanies the visitors in their journey, providing diverse perspectives on the project and its unique natural and urban settings. Publiek Park is founded and curated by Jef Declercq, Anna Laganovska, Koi Persyn and Adriënne van der Werf.
