Abstract

Rising sea levels and the inevitable heavy rainfall make Flanders a very dangerous place during spring tide. Government agencies and engineering firms work hard to keep the water in check. The River Schelde gets more space, dikes are moved in a constantly shifting panorama. This book features a series of drawings that portray the landscape between Vlassenbroek and Broekkant & made by workers, artists, and visitors, from nearby and far afield. Enthusiasts who seized the challenge, because en plein air is the tradition here. In the last century painters and sketch artists loved to try their hand at representing the river or they ventured into the polder. The tradition had faded but it was revived as a slow and last-minute attempt to capture the fleeting landscape.

Abstract

The International Village Show is a comprehensive works exhibition and a monograph of the international group of female artists Myvillages, which was founded by Wapke Feenstra (Rotterdam), Kathrin Böhm (London), and Antje Schiffers (Berlin). The focus of their attention is rural space as a contemporary cultural space, as well as historical and current urban-rural relations. The artists, who grew up in the countryside themselves, have been working in rural areas within and outside of Europe since 2003, at exhibitions, workshops, and cooperations, in which local production and culture still have a different significance than they do for example in cities. The projects are often long-term, become part of existing processes, and attract attention, as well as different ways of thinking and acting. The book is based on Myvillages’ two-year solo exhibition “International Village Show” at the Gallery of Contemporary Art Leipzig (2015–16). The exhibition in the specifically converted garden house provides a comprehensive overview of their varied work worldwide.
