MASEREEL

In 2008, De Garage (Cultuurcentrum Mechelen), in collaboration with the Frans Masereel Centre and at the request of Jan Verlinden, initiated a project on free graphic art. Six established artists (Ronny Delrue, Honoré d’O, Kendell Geers, Vincent Geyskens, Tina Gillen, and Pieter Vermeersch) explored the role and contemporary relevance of graphic art within both contemporary art and their own practice.

The project resulted in a limited edition folder, featuring work by each artist, and a box containing six artist books and one textbook. Together with the master printers of the Frans Masereel Centrum, they also made additional work that was presented at an exhibition in the Cultural Centre in Mechelen.
