Orbis Terrarum Werelden Van Verbeelding

An exhibition catalogue for Orbis Terrarum Werelden Van Verbeelding (“Ways of Worldmaking / Cartography and Contemporary Art”), held at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp in 2000.

Published on the occasion of the group exhibition held at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp from 22 June to 24 September 2000, this catalogue documents a highly distinctive project that examined the relationship between art and society through the lens of cartography. As its subtitle suggests, the exhibition explored how art has shaped the ways in which the world is perceived, constructed and reimagined. Through works by a wide range of artists, it considered how artistic practices can alter our understanding of the world itself.

Richly illustrated throughout, the catalogue offers not only substantial documentation of the exhibition but also an engaging visual experience in its own right. Design by Mevis & Van Deursen.
