While there have been several opportunities to see Jan de Cock's sculptures and photographs over the past few years, his site-specific art first made an international splash last summer at Manifesta 5 in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain. For that installation de Cock took over an abandoned ship-building warehouse, erecting a large structure that, as is typical for his work, mined the fecund territory between art and architecture. Part sculpture, part building, de Cock's supersized piece filled the interior of the warehouse space and spilled out onto the roof, literally blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.
