TICK TACK has been invited by Lichtekooi Artspace as co-host of the third annual Sportsday. During (E)SPORTSDAY, TICK TACK and the adjacent Albertpark will transform into the stage for a day full of adrenaline, experimentation, and unexpected match-ups.
In the Albertpark across TICK TACK, Lichtekooi Artspace organizes a series of sports: from relay races and tug-of-war to kubb and arm wrestling. This is not your typical sports day, but an eclectic playground of games, competition, and joy – all with a nod to the artistic tradition of the 1960s, when artists like Marcel Broodthaers and Panamarenko blurred the lines between art and sport.
Inside TICK TACK’s exhibition space, the physical energy shifts into a digital realm with an E-SPORTS competition. American artist Brennan Wojtyla (2001, Florida) presents his solo exhibition LAN, created especially for sportsday. Visitors become players: teams of five face off in the legendary PC shooter Counter-Strike: Source, with Antwerp’s modernist heritage by Léon Stynen (De Zonnewijzer, 1955) as the virtual backdrop.
(E)SPORTSDAY 2025, on Saturday, September 27 from 1–6 PM, promises to be a day where boundaries dissolve, where physical strength and digital skills collide, and where art and sport merge into one big urban game.
Everyone is welcome — no registration needed. Just show up, join a team, and play. Winners will be awarded limited-edition artworks, specially created by Brennan Wojtyla for (E)SPORTSDAY 2025.
