Wesley Meuris – Foundation for exhibiting art and knowledge

Artist’s book in the context of Wesley Meuris’ research project FEAK – Foundation for Art and Knowledge. Museographic principles are the foundation of Wesley Meuris’ work. Through the FEAK Foundation, which claims to be the world’s specialist in the development of exhibition concepts and related knowledge, he extends his field of research to themes such as the communication surrounding an exhibition or the phenomenon of the “spectacularisation” of museum institutions, the success of which is measured solely by the number of visitors. The artist thus reveals a process which, like a circular system where entertainment leads to knowledge and vice versa, is conditioned by this interdependence.
