Ad van Denderen exhibition

An exhibition of works from Ad van Denderen's So Blue, So Blue will be on show at the Nederlands Fotomuseum until Aug 31, 2008.

According to the ‘Plan Bleu’ sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme, in the next 20 years around 205 million holiday or second homes will be built to accommodate 350 million tourists annually along the coasts of Turkey and Spain alone. This influx of tourism and the return of ‘westernised’ immigrants fuels religious and political radicalization. At the same time it is the fulcrum of major economic changes and ecological pressures.

So Blue, So Blue attempts to make sense of the immense economic, political, socio-religious and ecological changes taking place around the Mediteranean Sea, an open space that Europe, Asia and Africa have contested and shared for centuries.
