The six artists: Pierre Goetinck, Lisa Ijeoma, Joke Raes, Jasper Rigole, Ria Verhaeghe and Willy Vynck have set to work with the historical spaces. They are showing new works that link concepts such as collecting, archiving and preservation to personal, social, or art historical themes. Together, they excavate ‘the memory’ of the Porter’s Lodge, a ‘wanderspace’ that has evolved from commercial hub to art academy, and from National Archives to temporary exhibition venue.
Cultuurcentrum Brugge is a Bruges cultural house with an inspiring programme. It focuses on a broad range of theatre, music, contemporary dance, circus, visual arts and multidisciplinary projects. It has been realising exciting and successful art exhibitions in the Poorter’s Lodge for a number of years.
