Synopsis

'Parrot Parade' by Nico Dockx is a vibrant, illustrated celebration of parrots and their speech bubbles, infused with uncensored wittiness. Created for the Parrot Pavilion at the Kortrijk Triennial 2024: After Paradise, the publication brings together contributions from 220 artist friends, forming a collective chorus of playful dialogue. Rooted in Dockx’s collaborative and research-driven practice, the work reflects his ongoing engagement with archives, memory, and distribution. The result is a lively and layered publication where humor, exchange, and artistic intervention converge.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

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.
