Parrot Parade - Nico Dockx

Nico Dockx (1974) is a visual artist, curator, publisher and researcher with a fundamental interest in archives and structural processes such as data, memories, information, distribution and management. His interventions, publications, texts, sounds, images, installations, performances and conversations — which are usually the result of collaborations with other artists — embody the relationship between perception and memory, which he interprets differently each time. Living in Antwerp, he is an educator at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, leading the multidisciplinary project Expanding Academy. The project currently focuses on the notion of social sculpture and the possibilities of opening up the academy towards its neighbouring public square through artistic interventions and happenings.
