W0W19 is an inflatable bouncy castle – a scale model of the project space used by the 019 art platform in Ghent. This architectural replica can actually be jumped on, by young and old alike. Especially for Beyond the Black Box, 019 is developing additional inflatable objects from the area surrounding the project space in Ghent, inspired by their interventions exploring the public realm. In this way, 019 will act as a hospitable occupier, working with other artists at the festival to scope out the potential of the space and make it visible.
019 is a transdisciplinary platform based in Ghent that develops ‘in-between spaces’ for intuitive experiments between architecture, graphic design and fine art. By continually identifying new possibilities, 019 challenges conventional approaches to exhibiting in artistic and non-artistic spaces.
