on the occasion of

ROKADE
TICK TACK and Kunsthalle Recklinghausen
swap exhibition venues

In 2024, TICK TACK (Antwerp, founded in 2019) and Kunsthalle Recklinghausen (founded in 1950) launch a unique project: both institutions will take over each other’s exhibition venues for the period from August to November 2024. This joint exchange project bears the Flemish title ROKADE - a reference to castling in chess, where the king and rook swap places on the board.

The first part of the project ROKADE opens on August 24 at 5 pm at Kunsthalle Recklinghausen curated by TICK TACK. The group exhibition STREETSPACE BANGER brings together a generous selection of over 80 international artists and aims to express the appreciation that TICK TACK has for the artists. On the occasion of its fifth anniversary, TICK TACK invites artists who have been part of its varied exhibition program that has enriched the Belgian art scene since 2019 and also presents a number of new collaborations, public and site-specific interventions reflecting the future vision of TICK TACK as an institution.

TICK TACK’S STREETSPACE BANGER will be on display at the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen from August 25 to November 10. The show includes works by Adriano Amaral, Alex McQuilkin, Alexandre Bavard, Alexey Shlyk, Allen-Golder Carpenter, Andrew Pierre Hart, Anselm Reyle, Ayoung Kim, Benjamin Cohen, Benny Van den Meulengracht-Vrancx, Bertrand Fournier, Boy & Erik Stappaerts, Christoph Blawerts TICK TACK Fancy Museumshop with Friends, Celia Hempton, Chris Drange, Chris Lipomi, Clara Brörmann, Daan Gielis, Duncan Poulton, Eddie Peake, Florian Baudrexel, Flurin Bisig, Frédéric Platéus, Gina Beavers, Guy Van Bossche, Hannah Perry, Hyun Dekempe, Jakub Rehak, Jason Gringler, Joep van Liefland, Joke Hansen, Jonas Maas, Jon Rafman, Julia Krewani, Koen van den Broek, Lenz Geerk, Leo Gabin, Liliane Vertessen, Lisa Junghanß, Lucas Dupuy, Marcus Jefferson, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Marilyn Minter, Martin Eder, Max Frisinger, METAHAVEN, Mevlana Lipp, Mia Middleton, Michael Sailstorfer, Michael St. John, Michael Weißköppel, Mike Ballard, Miyeon Lee, Monsieur Zohore, Narcisse Tordoir, Nik Nowak, Patrick Vanden Eynde, Philippe Van Wolputte, Rachel Hobkirk, René Spitzer, Richie Culver, Sally von Rosen, Sara Carter, Sarah Slappey, Signe Pierce, Stine Deja, Theo Triantafyllidis, Thomas Scheibitz, Tilman Wendland, Timothy Segers, Tom Van Puyvelde, Tom Volkaert, Umut Yasat, Vivian Greven and others.
