Portscapes

Designed by Rotterdam-based design studio Ben Laloua/Didier Pascal, the multi-part publication box includes a miscellany of contributions by the artists, a cahier with texts on the projects, the prologue publication presented with the launch of the project in February 2009 and a DVD with 'behind the scenes' footage with interviews with 'Portscapes' artists.

Portscapes is a series of ten public commissions and an exhibition at the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, which is developed with SKOR (Foundation for Art and Public Space) in the context of the expansion of the port of Rotterdam, the largest industrial area in Europe. Portscapes artists include Lara Almarcegui, Bik Van der Pol, Jan Dibbets, Marjolijn Dijkman, Fucking Good Art, Ilana Halperin , Roman Keller & Christina Hemauer, Paulien Oltheten, Jorge Satorre, Hans Schabus.

Portscapes is a Port of Rotterdam Authority initiative developed with advice from SKOR (Foundation Art and Public Space) and curated by Latitudes, Barcelona (Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna).
