The cultural hub Scheld'apen was home to an eclectic stream of artists, with over 1300 events occurring from 1998 till 2013. All those events produced a flux of visual communication and printed media. Artist Benny Van den Meulengracht-Vrancx and musician Bent Vande Sompele poured a selection of those graphical works into a book.
‘Graphic Design of Scheld’Apen’ is the result of two years of collecting, three archival residencies at Het Bos (the new home of the still existing Scheld’Apen organisation) and a short scanning residency at Frans Masereel Centrum. The book contains over 250 graphical works (flyers, posters and program booklets) from a variety of different artists, a preface by Pieter Willems and texts by Roel Griffioen and Pia Jacques. The book launch will take place Thursday May 18th (6-10PM) at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, accompanied by an exhibition (18-21 May) displaying key works taken from the archive, with music by DJs Dennis Tyfus & Jan Matthé, Disko Bambrieno & RAPHAËL, broadcasted online by We Are Various.
'Graphic Design of Scheld'Apen' in collaboration with Het Bos, Art & Research/ Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen, Frans Masereel Centrum and TRIX. The book is published by Stockmans Art Books.
De culturele hub Scheld'apen bracht een stroom aan visuele communicatie en gedrukte media met zich mee. Bestel het boek in voorverkoop en help zo de realisatie ervan!
