Film Screening of ‘The Making of De Sokkel #5’ at 98 Weeks

The book, “Private Colloquies on a Public Sculpture” was produced in the frame of De Sokkel #5, a temporary art project for an empty 19th century plinth in the Central Park of Antwerp.

The film, ‘The Making of De Sokkel #5’ narrates the adventurous story of the project, surrounded by intense debates concerning the specific context, the nature of monuments, cultural identity, collective representations and artistic freedom in the public space.

Along with the screening, the artist book, “Private Colloquies on a Public Sculpture will be presented.”
