wpZimmer, Monty, Platform0090 and C-TAKT are joining forces to break out of boxes and colour outside the lines of the classic art genres and introduce Beyond the Black Box – the Antwerp edition!
For three days, from May 13th until 15th 2022 Beyond the Black Box invites creators and the audience to experiment with form, space and time as you’re challenged to look at art differently.
You’ll hear more about the full programme and participating performances very soon, and for now you can stay updated through our social channels!
Vinny Jones, Shaly López and Léon Spek work on ‘Blue is an agreement’, where they question how ‘framing’ shapes the ways of seeing and being in the world.
