The Bruges Triennial (TRIBRU) is a contemporary art and architecture event held every three years in the city of Bruges, Belgium.

This summer will see the fourth version of the current iteration of the TRIBBU.

History of the Bruges Triennial

The first Triennale Brugge was held in 2015, followed by a second in 2018, thus 2024 will see the fourth in the series. However the Triennial has built on a previous triplet of triennials held in 1968, 1971 and 1974.

Bruges Triennial 2024

The theme of Triennale Brugge 2024 will be Spaces of Positivity. It will consist of 12 artworks and installations. The intention of the curators, Shendy Gardin and Sevie Tsampalla is to shine a light on underused spaces within the city and Zeebrugge. The aim is to challenge artists, architects and viewers to contemplate the future of both Bruges and cities worldwide.

The chosen artists and architects are: Ivan Argote, Bangkok Project Studio, Mariana Castillo Deball, Mona Hatoum, Ivan Morison, Norell/Rodhe, Shingo Masuda and Katsuhisa Otsubo Architects, SO-IL, Studio Ossidiana, Adrien Tirtiaux, Traumnovelle and Sumayya Vally.

Further information about the artists can be found here.

Participants can follow a freely accessible contemporary art and architecture trail through the ancient city.

Parallel to TRBRU, Beaufort 24 is a series of installations along the Belgian coastline. The two triennials meet in Zeebrugge with a shared artwork by Ivan Morison.
