PARK #3 MEMORIES OF GLASS
A fixture of the Antwerp art scene: every sixth Thursday most galleries stay open until 9pm and this becomes the opportunity to hop between bars and art spaces. The event has become very popular – it’s not unsual to make the trip from Brussels or from the Netherlands for the occasion. Galleries participating are listed on the Antwerp Art website – they include many venues previously reviewed by Turnleft: FiftyOne, Pocketroom, Tim Van Laere, Zeno X (which represents Luc Tuymans).
Speaking of which, the next edition is on Thursday 10 September and amongst all the events that night, we can only recommend Park 3, held in a massive hangar at Park Spoor Noord (a brand new park north of Antwerp – since its opening it has become a summer hotspot). Park 3 is a group show featuring 16 artists, installations, visual artworks, performances and music. The first 10 days of September will be spent assembling the show. As it happens the previous edition of Park (Park2) took place at Kloosterstraat 13 – which will soon become RA. Small place.
