The Scope of Stories, Tracing Vernacular Landscapes

The Scope of Stories, Tracing Vernacular Landscapes is an exhibition that takes stock of artistic movements in rural areas. Jonathan De Maeyer invites artists who work in both rural and urban areas, always with a focus on human connections, ecology, food and agriculture. Through fiction and documentary that questions the human perspective, the complexity and reality of the countryside is woven into the stories it houses.
