Author Description

TRACK is an international art exhibition taking place in the public and semi-public space of Ghent from 12 May till 16 September 2012. It offers unexpected encounters with the city, its history and its inhabitants, stimulating reflection on urban realities and, in a wider sense, the contemporary human condition. Curators Philippe Van Cauteren and Mirjam Varadinis invited forty-one artists to conceive artworks strongly rooted in the urban fabric of Ghent, but linking the local context with issues of global significance. Participating artists: Lara Almarcegui, Pawel Althamer, Sven Augustijnen, Alexandra Bachzetsis, Massimo Bartolini, John Bock, Michaël Borremans, Mike Bouchet, Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan, Christoph Büchel, Peter Buggenhout, Mircea Cantor, Leo Copers, Simona Denicolai, Michael Elmgreen & Ingar Dragset, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Cyprien Gaillard, Mekhitar Garabedian, Christina Hemauer Roman Keller, Adelita Husni-Bey, Tadashi Kawamata, Susanne Kriemann, Alon Levin, Erik van Lieshout, Bart Lodewijks, Emilio López-Menchero.
