verso-recto : the artist’s book
Verso-recto is the participatory project who invested all year long the Wittockiana and the park of Woluwe.
The vision of Vincen Beeckman has accompanied neighbors, onlookers, visitors of the museum, athletes, dogs (and their companions), and all the other actors who contribute to make the park of Woluwe live.
Join us to celebrate those multiple meetings during the exhibition that will open its doors on the 17th of october 2025.
The book
Within the framework of this project, the Wittockiana publishes a book of artists, designed and made by the bookbinder Ninnog Gesland–Bouilly and Vincen Beeckman. Printed in 200 copies, the work is going to have its first 10 copies bound and signed by the artists.
Its binding is enriched decor in woven muslin, a thin fabric glued on the spine of the book to reinforce the structure, a usually invisible element in a traditional binding.
Here, this detail becomes a pattern: a delicate evocation of the vegetation in the park of Woluwe and the human links who cross it.
