Every three years Triennial Bruges brings contemporary art and architecture to the historic core of the city of Bruges in a unique setting as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Since 2015, Triennial Bruges has continued to build on a series of triennials that were put together in 1968, 1971 and 1974 around visual arts and have now once again become part of the public domain. International and regional artists and architects are invited by the artistic team to present new temporary installations. A dozen works of art and meeting places are always in active dialogue with the environment, along waterways, through cobbled streets, in peaceful places of worship or on wasteland. For visitors, it will always be a summery voyage of discovery along a unique hospitable route with a social issue.
With TraumA, Triennial Bruges dives into the ‘uncanny’ history and reality of Bruges. Historical layers are exposed, forgotten or hidden storylines...discussed. This edition explores the thin line between dream and trauma, between paradise and hell. It appeals to the imagination, to the pomp and circumstance, but also to the ‘uncanny’ that is present underground. For although Bruges seems to be a dream destination for many, poverty, loneliness, pollution or fear also lurk in this picture-perfect world.
Triennial Bruges 2021: TraumA uses artistic and architectural interventions to bring the less attractive aspects to the surface and make them part of the city’s image. It creates a polyphonic discourse, where there is room for imagination, beauty, darkness and complexity. A space where artists and architects can explore both the stage and the dusty wings. Triennial Bruges 2021: TraumA balances between the present and the hidden. With a course of sculptural, architectural and organic creations, it is a celebration of the versatility and mobility of this city. Between private and public. Between dream and nightmare.
