Public Acts – Curator’s Tour | June 26th [𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗗]

About this activity.

[Due to the expected heat on Friday, June 26, this tour has been cancelled!]

Did you know that there are hundreds of artworks to be found in public space in Groningen? From sculptures that have stood for generations to newer works you may not yet have discovered. Together, they tell a story about the city: about places, people, history, and the future. During the Month of Art in Public Space 2026, Kunstpunt invites you to look at them in a new way. This year revolves around Public Acts.

For Public Acts, curator Michiel Teeuw developed a programme in which contemporary artists respond to existing artworks from the Art in Public Space collection. They do so through so-called “scores”: concise instructions that invite you to carry out an action yourself with or in relation to an artwork.

Through their scores, the participating artists add new—and sometimes missing—perspectives and challenge the dominant view of public space. In doing so, they create room for other stories and ways of seeing.

Curator’s Tour

On Friday 26 June, Michiel Teeuw will lead a special curator’s tour. After an introduction at Kunstpunt, he will take you on a walk past a number of artworks in the city.
