Compleet van de kaart - artistieke visies op cartografie

Sint-Niklaas,
BelgiumHow do artists today depict heaven and earth at a time of fiercely shifting borders on our globe?
Today, the maps of the world are being firmly rearranged. Our globe is experiencing exciting times and getting a new layout. How do artists currently view heaven and earth? Using the scientific imagination of cartographer Mercator as a compass, artists critically and imaginatively explore themes such as: the vertical gaze or axis mundi, projections and corrections, measurements and yardsticks, riches and dangers in the subsoil, the crucial role of water and oceans, traces of the celestial globe and the art of getting lost in order to finally find one's own place. In addition to numerous artists, several scientists are also involved, which translates into an in-depth fringe programme.
