Publications WALKING GUIDE // € 7 Just like in the previous editions, Beaufort04 will publish a practical walking guide in 4 languages (NL, FR, EN and DE). This walking guide contains a walking tour in every coastal municipality, that does not only guide the visitor along the many Beaufortartworks, but also along many other highlights in the municipality. Available from the end of March in bookshops and all tourist offices of the participating coastal municipalities. CYCLE MAP // € 3 Beaufort04 also welcomes bikers in particular. Together with Westtoer, a cycle map has been developed. This map is based on the existing coastal cycle tour and shows the locations of the different works of Beaufort04 and the works from the previous editions, which are still possible to visit. Available from the end of March in the tourist offices of the participating coastal municipalities. PICTURE BOOK // € 30 The Triennial of Contemporary Art by the Sea Beaufort publishes an overview of its last four editions, including the current one. All the works of Beaufort01, 02, 03 and 04, some of which are still present at the coast, are captured in an elaborate picture book. All of the pictures were made by well-known photographer Jimmy Kets. The Picture Book is now available for sale at Standaard Boekhandel, Fnac, Club and some of the tourist offices of the participating coastal cities.

PRESS RELEASE VISUAL ARTS FLANDERS 2012: CLUSTER OF VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITIONS ONLY ONE HOUR AWAY FROM BRUSSELS PREPARES ITSELF FOR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION Flanders is the place to visit in 2012 for both those who take a professional or leisurely interest in contemporary art! 2012 will bring the coinciding of important exhibitions of visual art taking place in Flanders, Belgium. Visual Arts Flanders 2012 is proud to present Beaufort04 (Belgian coast), TRACK (Ghent), Middelheim Museum 2012 (Antwerp), Manifesta 9 (Genk) and Newtopia: The State of Human Rights (Mechelen). The convenient geographic location and the shared focus on contemporary art of these five events have triggered the creation of an international communication platform that comprehends all of these appealing events into one coherent cluster. In 2012 Belgium’s neighbouring countries also offer major happenings in contemporary art such as dOCUMENTA (13) (Kassel, Germany), London 2012 Festival - Finale of the Cultural Olympiad (UK), Fantastic / lille3000 (France) and MONO (Centre Pompidou-Metz, France together with Mudam, Luxembourg). Visual Arts Flanders 2012 is convinced that the high quality standard of each of the five exhibitions represented will persuade the professional and touristically inclined art visitor to also stop over in Flanders when travelling to art events in Belgium’s neighbouring countries. The Cluster: Beaufort04 is the fourth edition of the Triennial of Contemporary Art by the Sea. A selection of contemporary artists from all over Europe will show their work in locations dispersed all over the Belgian Coast. Building on the tradition of Chambres d’Amis (1986) and Over the Edges (2000), TRACK in Ghent invites thirty-five international artists to take their art outside the museum. Their works of art will be presented at several indoor and outdoor locations in six areas of the city of Ghent. The Middelheim Museum in Antwerp is constantly in motion, but in 2012 it will be undergoing a major metamorphosis. A newly built semi-open pavilion will be inaugurated with an exclusive exhibition of works by Thomas Schütte. The entire Middelheim collection will be reviewed and renowned artists, such as Roman Signer, Ai Weiwei and Philippe Van Snick, will present new works, custom-made for the museum. In the Braem Pavilion (Braempaviljoen), fashion designers Bernhard Willhelm and Jutta Kraus will be displaying an initial selection of pieces of international importance from the Middelheim collection. For its ninth edition, Manifesta 9, the European Biennial of Contemporary art settles down in Genk. The former mining region will be host to emerging international artists and will focus on issues such as the social repositioning of a post-industrial society as well as on new possibilities to deal with material and immaterial cultural heritage. - 25 - Press conference ‘Cities like open-air museums’ Exhibition of scale models and film by Arne Quinze 8 June 2012
