Eighteen international artists create new work for the centre of Bruges. The theme: ‘What would happen if the 5 million visitors who come to Bruges every year should suddenly decide to stay?’ An artistic injection of urban dynamics into a small, historic city.
Three indoor exhibitions delve deeper into ‘the city’ and various aspects of urbanisation. The exhibitions display visionary plans for urban renewal, actual cities in a state of construction and demolition, scale models and designs for imaginary cities. The concept of the city is one that invokes dreams and contemplation.
