Futuring Spaces of Possibility - Contemporary Art and Architecture in a World Heritage City

How to deal with transformation and degrowth in a city whose boundaries have been shaped by its medieval history? How to question dominant histories, use underutilised public space and set in motion new cohabitations in the city? This book is published on the occasion of Bruges Triennial 2024: Spaces of Possibility, curated by Shendy Gardin and Sevie Tsampalla. Featuring contributions by the twelve artists and architects in the exhibition, it offers insights into the research processes behind the commissions, through texts, archival images, preparatory sketches and interviews. Newly commissioned essays address issues of urban transformation and the role that contemporary art, architecture and exhibition-making can play for futuring cities marked by their heritage. Featuring Iván Argote, Bangkok Project Studio, Mariana Castillo Debal, Mona Hatoum, Ivan Morison, Norell/Rodhe, Shingo Masuda + Katsuhisa Otsubo, Architects, Studio Ossidiana, SO–IL, Traumnovelle, Adrien Tirtiaux, Sumayya Vally.
