'Museum to Scale 1:7' was initiated by Ronny Van de Velde and designed by the artist Wesley Meuris and is a project in which, in the proper postmodern tradition, the museum is both subject and object. The 'Museum to Scale' comprises more than a hundred miniature rooms at a scale of 1:7, devoted to Belgian artists and Belgian artistic movements. After a tribute to Marcel Duchamp and his Boite-en-valise, the exhibition starts with Grandville's illustrations for Gulliver's Travels, the celebrated book in which scale plays an important part. A series of thematic and historical ensembles on Symbolism, Surrealism, photography, the Cobra movement, abstract art and Minimal Art provide a lead-in to contemporary Belgian artists, each of whom has arranged their own room in an original manner. The Belgian artists taking part include Jan Fabre, Jan De Cock, Pierre Alechinsky, Koen Van Mechelen, Ann Veronica Janssens and Michel Francois, as well as Angel Vergara, Johan Muyle, Luc Deleu, Luc Tuymans and many others. There is a written contribution by Jan Ceuleers and also a piece by Stef van Bellingen on the work of Wesley Meuris.

First Edition. First Edition. Square octavo. Pamphlet with brown cardstock portfolio illustrated after Christo's 1967 photomontage The Museum of Modern Art Packed (View from 53rd Street), contextualized by verso text from Curator William S. Rubin: "As an artist functioning more in the realm of 'events' than in that of painting and sculpture, it is not surprising that Christo should have dreamed that it was time to wrap the Museum. The Museum staff found this a potentially lively and poetically strange project. But the more practical heads of the fire department, police department, and insurance agencies prevailed." Leporello contents feature 10 black-and-white reproductions of Christo's MoMA proposals, which were exhibited in the Main Hall (June 5 - 25), as well as documentation from some of his previous wrapped and packed works. A fine copy.Uncommon, with only 3 OCLC records located.
