As a centre for dialogue on the city of tomorrow, Stadsform wants to influence arts to propose radical ideas for the city and its public spaces, in tradition of the famous proposals by Luc Deleu. Luc Deleu and his work with T.O.P office is not easily put into one category. He brings together experience and ideas from the art and spatial world. During his lecture he will highlight some of his work that has bridged this gap and focus on proposals for cities (in the future and the past).

Luc Deleu (born Duffel, September 1, 1944) is a Belgian conceptual artist, architect, and urban planner.
He studied and taught at the Sint-Lucas Institute for Architecture in Brussels. In 1970, he founded the urban planning firm T.O.P. Office together with Laurette Gillemot. Since 1972, Deleu has worked on proposals, with a distinct spatial and social engagement, with recurrent updates.
Since 1973, Deleu has worked on Orbanism: architecture on a global scale. His Orbanist Manifesto was published in 1980. Since 1995, he has collaborated with his firm T.O.P. Office on The Unadapted City, a design-based urban planning study.

The evening will be held in Dutch. The evening is free to attend with registration, and we offer a pay-what-you-can principle. It is an unique oppostadsform.be/stadsformevents/antwerp-art-weekend-lezing-met-luc-deleurtunity to see the city through new eyes and share your thoughts on what it could be like tomorrow.

In collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts, we are opening up Studio Stadswaag, a future place for students to showcase their work within the walls of the academy, while also having a connection with the local neighbourhood. For this future (semi-)public space, Brandon LaBelle, Rirkrit Tiravanija, BLESS and Amelia Schoep created artworks, installations and protocols that will be presented for the first and only time. The next time these will be showcased or being put into action will only be after the long renovation of the Academy. So take your chance!!
More information and details will be shared on our website!stadsform.be

How do you see the city? And what happens when we question her rules and habits for a moment? In Making the City we invite you to be an active part of an evolving "manual" for the city. Together we explore the city from an artistic perspective. We read her structures, map hierarchies and patterns, and imagine new ways of using public and private spaces. These workshops are an invitation to experiment, fantasize and create. Open to artists, students and anyone who is curious about how the city can function differently. Come and see, discover and contribute. Experience the city, your way.

Enter Stadsform and discover short films and documentaries that show the artist that inspire us. The selection highlights artistic interventions in urban spaces, temporary cities and the social and political dimensions of architecture. The screenings act as a visual extension of the questions that are asked during the project asked: How do we use the city? For whom? And how can creative interventions change our way of living, exercising and living together? Be inspired, ask questions, and experience the city through the eyes of artists and makers.

Stadsform is a center for dialogue about the city of tomorrow. It acts as a non-profit platform and physical space for dialogue, experiment and public engagement around urban issues, in which the city as a subject and as a medium is being treated.
In collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Stadsform has been working on the Project Studio Stadswaag for the last 4 years. A project where the role of artists, their engagement with public space and the idea of protocols as a practice are being explored.
