The exhibition 'Portscapes' will present works by 10 artists commissioned by the Port of Rotterdam throughout 2009, on the occasion of the beginning of the construction of Maasvlakte 2, the 2,000 hectare land reclamation project to extend Rotterdam's port, Europe's largest seaport and industrial area. 'Portscapes' has involved new projects of various scales under the leitmotif itineraries and destinations – artist-led tours, film screenings, billboards and the production of film and photographic works, audio-guides, radio broadcast and field guides (+ info...)
The film projects by Rotterdam-based artists Bik van der Pol and Marjolijn Dijkman, 'Facts on the Ground' (2009–10) and 'Surviving New Land' (2009–10) respectively, will be premiered coincinding with the exhibition.
A catalogue and a special-edition catalogue will be published on the occasion of the exhibition – the latter containing supplementary material including filmed interviews with the artists as well as the DVD of '6 Hours Tide Object with Correction of Perspective' (2009), the film produced by Jan Dibbets for 'Portscapes'.
