Softcover compilation of all nine issues of Geys’s Kempens Informatieblad published preserving the newspaper’s original format, this book was published in 1991 by Roland Patteeuw and his Stichting Kunst & Projecten (Zedelgem).
Between 1971 and 1991, Jef Geys produced an edition of Kempens Informatieblad for each of his exhibitions.
This newspaper was originally a local publication that disseminated local news. It also acquired an artistic function after Geys took it over. The newspaper played an essential role within the oeuvre of the artist as a democratic form of exhibition catalogue.
This out of stock publication is in perfect condition.
It includes an original poster made on the occasion of the Groenten uit Balen ("Vegetables from Balen") premiere in Antwerpen, a Flemish theatre play written by Walter van den Broeck in 1972 in which docket paper and decor were made by Geys.
