1	Curating contemporary art, the city and the flâneur : A walk through Bruges and its Triennial Biro, Agnès January 2022 (has links) Discovering the city of Bruges through the lens of its Triennial is the starting point to research the potential for contemporary art to influence one’s way of experiencing the city. Taking the case study of a still not so renowned large-scale event like the Bruges Triennial, this thesis investigates the background of this recurring event, how it started, the evolution of its curatorial process and its socio-political challenges being set, every three years, in the context of a Unesco-protected site. After providing the historical background of the city of Bruges, it evidences the ways in which the Bruges Triennial gradually adopted a flâneuristic approach to curating art and in turn encourages flânerie. This sensible way of progressing in the city, mostly via walking and based on the bodily experience, is allowing the refining of a curatorial practice concerned with generating a sensorial reading of the city and results in a curatorial experiment entitled La Dérive.
