Borders between countries are intriguing...but how about an invisible language border between two communities, Wallonia and Flanders? Along this magical line running by little towns like Vloesberg-Flobecq, Everbeek...photographers have exposed their interpretation of the subject in an open air exhibition "De Grens- La frontière" (the border).
The following artists participate:
Michel Castermans, Karin Borghouts, Herman van den Boom, Alexandra Cool, Bieke Depoorter, Pierre-Philippe Hofmann, Rula Halawani, Dara Mc Grath.
The exhibition is organized by the centrum Herman De Croo (see last photo, Belgian politician, served as Minister in several governments, was President of the Chamber of Representatives) and the Centre Culturel du Pays des Colines, by Bozar.
The exhibits runs till September and for those living in this part of the world, I definitely recommend a visit.

Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteI'll try to see it as well, as one of my favourite photographers, Bieke Depoorter, has some work there.
anni, I researched this a bit after reading your post, and I never cease to be amazed at how much I do not know. Thank you for opening my eyes to the challenges of your country. I would love to see this exhibit. I do believe that artists are able to transcend languages and politics in relaying a message. Merci.

Heel apARTe tentoonstelling, Anni !
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Een goed initiatief van de voormalige minister. Grenzen worden door mensen bedacht en bestaan niet werkelijk.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour l'info, je vais essayer d'aller la voir. Je ne vis pas loin de là donc ca doit être possible !
ReplyDeleteJ'ai été voir ce week-end les expos de sarah moon au Bota et celle de Jeff Walle au bozar ainsi que Beyond the document au Bota, je ne peux que te les conseiller ...
Ce doit être intéressant,
ReplyDeleteA quel endroit se trouve cette exposition ?
Belle journée,
Pierre
Je m'y suis rendu ce week-end mais je pense que j'ai du manquer pas mal de choses...
ReplyDeleteJ'ai vu une exposition devant et dans la Maison des Artistes de FLOBECQ, j'ai trouvé quelques panneaux sur la route jusqu'à EVERBEEK BOVEN mais sur place plus rien..........
:-(
Dommage car j'ai trouvé cette démarche très intéressante !
Bonne journée,
Pierre
