Art : Exhibitions in Ostend
3 exhibitions at the museums of Ostend from our list — with dates, venues and what each is worth seeing for.
Three films by Guillaume Bijl and Jean Strijckers beside photographs: a staged portrait of Ensor passed off as authentic, and a 1958 reel of Ostend shot by an academy student.
Graffiti before it became street art: a route through the dark fort after an invented writer, a metro carriage under tags, and a wall the visitors write on themselves.
Sculpture you can pick up: bronze, stone, terracotta, wood, plaster. Not the monument on the square but the thing that stood in a room.
The collection laid out as a chain: who learned from whom, who argued with whom. One work sets the next in motion, like a domino tile.
