A Walk In The Sculpture Park, 2024

Performance, new work

For the circular path in the museum, the artists developed a special audio track with instructions. Similar to the running app ‘Start to run’, yet more surprising. After all, you don't just walk past works of art from the Middelheim collection. You also interact with your own body and with others. You become the performer and reveal the invisible work. As such, you determine the work's appearance for others.

 

  • Can be activated continuously, duration: 20 mins. You'll need headphones or earbuds. If you don't have a pair, you can borrow some from the visitor pavilion.

More about this work

In A Walk In The Sculpture Park (2024), the performer is you. The work is completely invisible until you, as the visitor, are ready to reveal it.

For the circular path in the Middelheim Museum, designed by Luc Deleu, the brothers Tuur & Flup Marinus teamed up with Ariadna Estalella Alba to develop a special audio track. Hinting at popular apps such as ‘Start to run’ that encourage you to walk or run based on a particular schedule.

Yet the instructions you receive in this recording are somewhat different. They have an element of surprise. You walk in a circle past different works in the Middelheim collection, and get the chance to experience them in a new way. But there is also interaction with your own body, and with others.

As the participant, you are in control. Your gestures can be large or small. You can join in or stop whenever you like. In doing so, you determine the work’s appearance for other visitors.
