Triennal Kortrijk 2018: Play

180803 bed 1panorama
From 23 June to 11 November 2018, the first edition of the Kortrijk Triennial took place. PLAY was a bold and unconventional city festival that took over the beating heart of Kortrijk with contemporary artworks.

Across a variety of indoor and outdoor locations throughout the city, visitors could immerse themselves in the unique world of (inter)national contemporary art. During PLAY, the city not only served as a canvas but also became a space for exploring our relationship with play. How does play influence our social behaviour? How does the concept of play reflect the evolution of our society? And how important is play for our motor and cognitive development?

Curators: Patrick Ronse (Be-Part, Platform for Contemporary Art) and Hilde Teerlinck (Han Nefkens Foundation).
