În acest talk, Philippe Van Cauteren, directorul artistic al S.M.A.K. (Muzeul de Artă Contemporană din Gent), explorează istoria și specificul acestei instituții prin momente-cheie din programul său expozițional, prin formarea colecției și prin relația dezvoltată, în timp, cu orașul.

Philippe Van Cauteren a studiat sociologia și istoria artei la Universitatea din Gent. A co-curatoriat Pavilionul Belgiei la cea de-a 55-a ediție a Bienalei de la Veneția, cu expoziția Cripplewood de Berlinde De Bruyckere, și a coordonat Pavilionul Irakian la Bienala de la Veneția din 2015.

După un talk cu sala plină la finalul lui 2025, Philippe Van Cauteren revine la Art Encounters pentru a continua conversația despre ce poate fi un muzeu viu, curajos și asumat.

What does it mean to build a museum in the name of artists?

In this talk, Philippe Van Cauteren, artistic director of S.M.A.K. (Ghent Museum of Contemporary Art), reflects on the museum’s history and distinctive identity through pivotal exhibitions, the development of its collection, and the long-term relationship it has built with the city.

Trained in sociology and art history at Ghent University, Philippe Van Cauteren co-curated the Belgian Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale with Berlinde De Bruyckere’s Cripplewood, and was commissioner of the Iraqi Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015. He has curated exhibitions for the Kathmandu Triennale and the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, and is the author of Letters to Artists, a collection of correspondence written over 15 years of close collaboration with artists.

Following an inspiring (and fully packed!) talk in at Art Encounters at the end of 2025, Philippe Van Cauteren returns to continue the conversation.
