Sonsbeek Exhibition

from the first edition in 1949, sonsbeek (arnhem, the netherlands) has been able to stretch the boundaries of international contemporary art. with eleven iconic editions between 1949 and 2016, sonsbeek has constantly played a pioneering role by shedding new light on art in public space. the 12th edition of sonsbeek which will run from june 5 to september 13, 2020 and onwards to 2024, takes place under the auspices of artistic director bonaventure soh bejeng ndikung and his team of co-curators. in this new, more sustainable form, sonsbeek will abandon the usual rhythm of contemporary art production and exhibition, and instead stretch out in a continued public process until 2024, thereby consolidating and encapsulating two editions. this means that sonsbeek20→24 will be a platform in which various activities like exhibitions, discursive programs, residencies, publishing, radio and more can emerge throughout its time-frame.
