Exhibition information:
For its 16th edition, the triennial pays tribute to the landscape, putting the place and the spirit that animates it at the heart of the exhibition. By inviting contemporary artistic creation to engage with the “Spirit of Place” — the forces that connect a site to its history, memory and myths — Bex Arts 26 will explore the profound history of the park, which has become a central character in its own right.
From 30 May to 3 October, Szilassy Park will open itself up to new ways of interpreting the world and becoming a space for collective experimentation. The relationship between imagined and transformed nature, and between contemplation and social reality, is explored where contemporary art meets the living world and the landscape.
