Riassunto

Please Look in the Basement is a quirky collection of posters of lost cats, dogs, birds and other pets, carefully curated from the collection of Maarten Inghels, Jan Lemaire, Jean-Michel Meyers, Denis Meyers and Nicolas Marichal from Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. Fellow collector and writer Maarten Inghels took the posters as the starting point for conversations with the owners. Apart from the posters, this maverick collectible bundles whimsical anecdotes about loneliness and friendship in the big city. How do you find an escaped animal? Does a cat survive a fall from the fourth floor? And did the fortune-teller really see the location of the lost dog in her crystal ball? Please Look in the Basement is an ode to the bizarre occurrences of our four-legged friends and the doltish typography of homemade posters. Inghels tells the stories of pets who one day decide to go their own way.

Text in English, French and Dutch.

Maarten Inghels (°1988) is a multidisciplinary artist, poet and writer. His work consists of books, videos, actions and installations. His latest novel The Miracle of Belgium (2021) about his experiences with the biggest con man in the world, mixes documentary with fiction to explore themes such as fantasy, vanity, greed and manipulation. He coordinated The Lonely Funeral in Belgium, a social and literary project which provides poets to speak at funerals of those without relatives and friends to attend. An eponymous anthology was published in Dutch (De Bezige Bij), German (Edition Korrespondenzen) and English (Arc Publications). Maarten Inghels’s work explores the friction between the public and the private and the art of disappearing.

Dalla quarta di copertina

‘Gelieve in de kelder te kijken’ is een eigenzinnige collectie affiches van verloren katten, honden, vogels en andere huisdieren, zorgvuldig gecureerd uit de verzameling van Maarten Inghels, Jan Lemaire, Jean-Michel Meyers, Denis Meyers en Nicolas Marichal uit Antwerpen, Brussel en Gent.

Medeverzamelaar en schrijver Maarten Inghels nam de affiches als het vertrekpunt voor gesprekken met de eigenaars. Behalve affiches bundelt dit buitenissige verzamelboek grillige anekdotes over eenzaamheid en vriendschap in de grote stad. Hoe vind je een ontsnapt beest terug? Overleeft een kat een val van de vierde verdieping? En zag de waarzegger echt de locatie van de verloren hond in haar kristallen bol?

‘Gelieve in de Kelder te Kijken’ is een ode aan de bizarre voorvallen van onze viervoeters en de knullige typografie van zelfgemaakte affiches. Inghels vertelt het verhaal van huisdieren die op een dag besluiten hun eigen weg te gaan.
