Museum to Scale 1:7' was initiated by Ronny Van de Velde and designed by the artist Wesley Meuris and is a project in which, in the proper postmodern tradition, the museum is both subject and object. The 'Museum to Scale' comprises more than a hundred miniature rooms at a scale of 1:7, devoted to Belgian artists and Belgian artistic movements. After a tribute to Marcel Duchamp and his Boîte-en-valise, the exhibition starts with Grandville's illustrations for Gulliver's Travels, the celebrated book in which scale plays an important part. A series of thematic and historical ensembles on Symbolism, Surrealism, photography, the Cobra movement, abstract art and Minimal Art provide a lead-in to contemporary Belgian artists, each of whom has arranged their own room in an original manner. The Belgian artists taking part include Jan Fabre, Jan De Cock, Pierre Alechinsky, Koen Van Mechelen, Ann Veronica Janssens and Michel François, as well as Angel Vergara, Johan Muyle, Luc Deleu, Luc Tuymans and many others. There is a written contribution by Jan Ceuleers and also a piece by Stef van Bellingen on the work of Wesley Meuris, in Dutch, French & English.0Exhibition: K.M.S.K.B.
