A taste of what I’ll be discussing this Thursday at 8pm at @kunsthalgent (you can register for free via link in bio) 🔎 I’ll expand my take on the practice of throwing, tossing, discarding... through confetti. The cutest kind of waste I’ve ever encountered. 🥺 Hope to see you there! IMG 1: Les confetti, le carnaval a Milan, M. Lax and M. Oswald Levens, engraving detail.

About the cartographic madness we researched on last year 🔎🧩 Baarle Nassau (Netherlands) and Baarle Hertog (Belgium) are two intertwined 🫂 municipalities that make up 29 distinct enclaves and exclaves. A territory torn in between nations, cultural identities, contrasting policies, and economic interests. A case study that exacerbates the frictions typically created by national borders but also a peculiar example of successful conviviality, urged by the very geopolitical configuration of the two municipalities. ✍️We asked citizens of both Hertog and Nassau to draw a map of the two towns by heart. The two mayors, the woman that lives in a home split by the national borders and has therefore a double nationality, the chairman of Baarle's tourist agency, all drew their version of Baarle’s geography. The results are the covers of the eight small publications we designed, containing interviews, photos, maps 🗺 thanks @rndr.studio ✨
