Portscapes

Designed by Rotterdam-based design studio Ben Laloua/Didier Pascal, the multi-part publication box includes a miscellany of contributions by the artists, a cahier with texts on the projects, the prologue publication presented with the launch of the project in February 2009 and a DVD with ´behind the scenes´ footage with interviews with ´Portscapes´ artists.

´Portscapes´ was an accumulative series of newly commissioned projects taking place throughout 2009 alongside the construction of Rotterdam´s [51°55´ N 4°29´ E] Maasvlakte 2 – the extension to Europe´s largest seaport and industrial area by 20%
