For the commissioning series Public Figure, every year a contemporary artist is invited by the Antwerp Public Art Collection to make an artwork departing from the question: Who or what do we put on a pedestal in today’s public space?
Berlinde De Bruyckere shares her quest as an artist with us. Starting from preparatory sketches, photos and drawings for her Middelheim exhibition in 1995, she takes us along in her thought process.
