Item description from seller

Hardback, folio- 420x297mm, 260 pages, 110 colour illustrations, NL / FR / English edition. New . ISBN 9789053253625. Museum to scale 1/7 is een initiatief van Ronny Van de Velde dat vorm gegeven wordt door kunstenaar Wesley Meuris en waarin het museum naar goede postmoderne traditie subject en object is. Het Museum op schaal beslaat meer dan honderd miniatuurzalen op schaal 1/7 gewijd aan Belgische kunstenaars en Belgische artistieke bewegingen. Na een hommage aan Marcel Duchamp en diens Boite-en-valise gaat het parcours van start met de illustraties van Grandville voor de 'Reizen van Gulliver', het befaamde boek waarin schaal een belangrijke rol speelt. Thematische en historische ensembles rond het symbolisme, het surrealisme, de fotografie, de Cobra-beweging, de abstracte en minimale kunst leiden naar Belgische hedendaagse kunstenaars die elk hun eigen zaal op een originele manier ingericht hebben. De deelnemende Belgische kunstenaars zijn o.a. Jan Fabre, Jan De Cock, Pierre Alechinsky, Koen Van Mechelen, Ann Veronica Janssens, Michel Francois, en ook Angel Vergara, Johan Muyle, Luc Deleu, Luc Tuymans en vele anderen. Tekst van Jan Ceuleers en tekst van Stef van Bellingen over het werk van Wesley Meuris. Drie-talige editie. Spectaculaire lay-out met alle 110 mini-musea full page afgebeeld. Le Musee a l'echelle 1/7 est une initiative de Ronny Van de Velde mise en forme par l'artiste Wesley Meuris et ou, dans la plus pure tradition postmoderne, le musee est a la fois sujet et objet.

Apres un hommage a Marcel Duchamp et sa Boite-en-valise, le parcours s'ouvre sur les illustrations de Grandville pour les 'Voyages de Gulliver', ouvrage celebre dans lequel l'echelle joue un role important. Des ensembles thematiques et historiques autour du symbolisme, du surrealisme, de la photographie, du mouvement Cobra, de l'art abstrait et de l'art minimaliste introduisent le spectateur aupres d'artistes belges contemporains, chaque artiste ayant amenage sa propre salle de facon originale. Parmi les participants citons e.a. les artistes belges Jan Fabre, Jan De Cock, Pierre Alechinsky, Koen Van Mechelen, Ann Veronica Janssens, Michel Francois, et aussi Angel Vergara, Johan Muyle, Luc Deleu, Luc Tuymans et plusieurs autres.

'Museum to Scale 1:7' was initiated by Ronny Van de Velde and designed by the artist Wesley Meuris and is a project in which, in the proper postmodern tradition, the museum is both subject and object. The 'Museum to Scale' comprises more than a hundred miniature rooms at a scale of 1:7, devoted to Belgian artists and Belgian artistic movements. After a tribute to Marcel Duchamp and his Boite-en-valise, the exhibition starts with Grandville's illustrations for Gulliver's Travels, the celebrated book in which scale plays an important part.
