Description: Summary: In 2009 several national and international artists undertook an artistic journey of discovery into the past, present and future of the Port of Rotterdam under the umbrella title of "Portscapes", drawing inspiration from the port. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen then showed ten art projects that resulted from it in a high-profile exhibition. For a year national and international artists drew inspiration from the scope, and the social, economic and political complexity of the expansion of the port. The exhibition showed the different points of view of Hans Schabus, Bik Van der Pol, Marjolijn Dijkman, Rob Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma, Jorge Satorre, Lara Almarcegui, Paulien Oltheten, Jan Dibbets, Roman Keller and Christina Hemauer and Ilana Halperin. The box with diverse items includes a cahier of 'Portscapes' projects, a miscellany of contributions by the artists and a DVD showing 'behind the scenes' footage and interviews with the them.
Notes: Includes 7 booklets, 4 leaflets (including box contents), 2 postcards, 1 DVD, 1 audio disc (digital, MP3) and 1 poster in box.
