What we build while waiting

Metincan Güzel

4 August till 26 September 2026

In August, artist Metincan Güzel will present his work in the Corner Room at Bureau Europa. In his artistic practice, Güzel explores how public spaces and urban scenography are produced and deployed as political instruments. His work often takes the form of inhabitable sculptures that provide space for a variety of public events and performances.

During his current residency at Jester in Genk, he presented several works as part of his long term research, What We Build While We Wait. For this project, he conducted artistic research into the closure of the Ford factory in Genk. His work and collaborations has previously been exhibited at Zuid Boijmans Van Beuningen, Z33, and Brutus Art Space. In 2025, Güzel was a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.
