Hoe deelnemen?

Interest in the eponymous day trip on 24 March 2024 was so great that not everyone on the waiting list got the chance to go along. Because of the enormous enthusiasm and positive response last year, a similar day trip will be organised, albeit a tad later in spring with the hope of a warmer breeze over the water and, of course, with other art studios.

He artistic-architectural adventure focuses on the simultaneous experience of art(s) and architect(s). The day trip gives a unique insight into the carefully designed places where art is created… During an exclusive day trip with boat, lunch and dinner, five Ghent artists from different art disciplines open their studios exceptionally and welcome you, in dialogue with the architect of their workplace. Would the creative process be influenced by the composed space?

Art and architecture have a deep connection. Both are made with the same organising principles, the same visual elements and the same involvement of the senses. Art and architecture both have meaning. They are simultaneously expressive and communicative. After all, the artist ‘forms’ an object to visually express a complex set of ideas or feelings, and the audience receives that expression. In a sense, a work of art and an architectural structure can be considered similar because they externalise human experience in an organised, aesthetically thoughtful and expressive way.
In June 2025, five Ghent artists and the architects of their studios, expose themselves. This offers you a unique insight into the architectural place where art is created. Using the boat as a surprising means of transport, you will investigate the relationship that context and architecture have on the creative process, in dialogue with the artists and the architects.

These trains of thought have led planopli, since 2024, to be ready to  alongside its portfolio of exclusive architecture tours with exceptional visits  now also plot exclusive art-architecture tours with exceptional visits for dedicated audiences. The idea is to offer three art-architecture tours every year: at home, in Europe and overseas. This adapted bis version of Ghent aside, the 2025 triptych uncovers unexpected and unprecedented places in Ronse. In autumn 2025, Mallorca and Menorca will caress many an artistic heart as European destinations. Later in autumn 2025, we will travel (for a second time) to Japan to explore the artistic side.
