Vincent at Nuenen

Vincent van Gogh stayed in Nuenen The Netherlands for about two years at the beginning of his artistic career. The new Van Gogh Village Museum opened in Nuenen in May. Vincent Was Here is the first temporary exhibition in the museum. Karin Borghouts followed Van Gogh's footsteps from Zundert to Auvers-sur-Oise and reconstructed and photographed some of his still lifes.

MUSEUM TO SCALE 1/7

Museum to Scale 1/7 offers an overview of Belgian modern and contemporary art, with a special focus on the period after 1950. The collection of 109 mini-museum rooms or Wunderkammern was put together by Ronny en Jessy Van de Velde with the help of daughter Sofie Van de Velde. In addition to a number of themed rooms on Symbolism, Surrealism, Photography, the Cobra movement and the Avant-garde, contemporary artists have their own room. With contributions by Dirk Braeckman, Luc Tuymans, Jan Fabre, Rinus Van de Velde, Stephan Van Fleteren, AMVK, Sofie Muller, Hans op de Beeck, Johan Tahon and many others.
Karin Borghouts uses a trompe l'oeil to evoke the effect of a 35mm lens. Her mini-museum shows highlights from her photographic oeuvre until 2013, in which showing plays a role.

After exhibitions at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels, at the Baker Museum in Naples (Florida), at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam and at the Fondazione Ghisla in Locarno, Museum to Scale 1/7 now gets a permanent place at the University of Antwerp.
