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 ROKADE project began on August 24 at Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, where TICK TACK is celebrating its fifth anniversary with STREETSPACE BANGER - a group exhibition spanning three floors of the former WW2 Bunker, featuring more than 80 artists from 20 countries.
In return, the collection presentation 'Storage Space' from the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen will open at TICK TACK in Antwerp on September 13, providing insights into its extensive museum collection of almost 5,000 works, presenting key works by artists such as Ayse Erkmen, Otto Piene, Gerhard Richter and Alicja Kwade. Popular for individual loans to numerous museums worldwide, this is the first time the collection travels abroad as a curated exhibition.
