This book is an imaginary arts hall, a visual rollercoaster showing recent work of artists with activities in Flanders and beyond. It should be considered as an exercise in which one is trying to programme all the artistic actions of the past five years in the same arts hall. Without any wall panels. What do you see? A surprising and astonishing arsenal of images of artists who find worldwide recognition with their work. The question however is whether or not this arts hall is that imaginary after all. All of these cultural activities were not gathered in an actual building, but they do however connect with Flanders, an insignificantly small region as opposed to the world map. Because of the restricted surface – museums, theatres, libraries and concert halls are never further than a one-hour drive away – Flanders is kind of an ideal arts hall. Almost nowhere else in the world is the power and the identity of the creative productivity as inversely proportional to the region in which it comes into being. (bron: achterflap)
