Hotel Bellevue is a project about border trees. Border trees (or Grenzbaum) are planted on specific locations in the landscape to mark borders between properties and make them visible from afar. These trees were already located on historical maps and are subject to specific laws. They are a kind of guardian, but also a marker used by legal authorities to outline the area where they could wield their power, a tool to settle border conflicts. Because of a change in our landscape, and how we use land, these trees lost their status as a symbol and became a tree again. Centuries ago, border trees were a kind of signpost for people, they showed the direction to a castle, a farm or a church and were marked on maps. Currently there are 52 archived border trees in Flanders (Belgium). When you think about border trees, you discuss territories, politics, crises, conflicts, botanical species, animals… These trees are not just wood. Natural worlds do not follow manmade islands. Look at fungi, they make up an enormous network that stretches beyond any kind of border, pollinators work wherever they find a flower from which to take pollen, birds migrate around the globe navigating it as a whole and not as a (flexible) puzzle of fragments. In a changing and unstable climate, the idea of border trees gives us the opportunity to reintroduce a local and community driven use of the landscape; they can help us learn from the stories and information imbued in these landmarks. Hotel Bellevue is a manifesto for love, anger, desire to connect, speculate and study. Only things from the heart deliver.

Why have there been no great women artists? Questions about diversity - of race, gender and class - go hand in hand with reflections on decoloniality, both are essential for thinking about and making change. This knowledge in mind, Linda Nochlin's seminal query elicits another question: what would happen if we stopped thinking in modernist terms and resist categorical divisions that violently simplify and thus drastically reduce our possibilities to create, act, and forge bonds? To attempt to answer Nochlin's question is to interrogate the normality of modernism. Many of us experience that we do not have the appropriate tools or language to formulate an answer. Looking for a new language that is no longer rooted in modernism may offer a solution - no longer seeking to be modern, but to be beyond modern. The contributors to this fanzine dared to think outside the existing frameworks of reality. Reality is after all not one but many. In collecting answers to Nochlin's question, KIOSK did not strive for completeness or to make distictions. rather, the editors hope that this publication will create community and help establish a much-needed cultural transformation.
