BRUSK Opens in Bruges with Refik Anadol and Medieval Networks Show
A new Kunsthalle, BRUSK, has opened in Bruges, Belgium, with two inaugural exhibitions. Turkish-American artist Refik Anadol presents "Latent City," his first solo show in Belgium, featuring an AI-driven, site-specific installation that processes historical and contemporary data from Bruges, from medieval trade routes to modern city rhythms. Concurrently, "Bigger Picture. Connected Worlds of Bruges 900–1550" reexamines the city's role as a medieval global hub through over 250 artworks, manuscripts, maps, and objects, including loans by Hans Memling and Gentile Bellini, tracing connections to Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, and the Islamic world. Both exhibitions explore how networks form and shape perception. Monopol magazine is giving away 5 × 2 tickets for the opening; entries must be emailed to info@monopol-magazin.de with subject "BRUSK" by June 15, 14:00.
