Impression, proche orient 1 | Jordan

In 2010, Tom Bogaert embarked on a two year Grand Tour of the Near East where he is working on ‘Impression, proche orient' (IPO) a project referencing issues relevant to contemporary Middle East society including politics, artistic identity and cucumbers.

The first tangible results of the artist’s work on IPO were on view during his residency at Makan Art Space in Amman,Jordan in February, March and April, 2010.

The final IPO results - in the form of a new site-specific installation - will be presented in New York City in 2013.
