Gert Robijns. Re Set - Tommy Simoens, Sam Steverlynck

Belgian artist Gert Robijns has spent the past decade working on his “Reset” concept, wherein the recreation and revaluation of the landscape are key. In 2010, Robijns made a copy of the small town of Gotem, his birthplace, out of white wood and metal on a scale of 75:100, including the church and rectory. From then on, he became dedicated to following this idea of “Reset” in various projects, among them Reset Charbon, a reflection on Limburg’s mining history, and Reset Mobile, a sort of temporary structure that can be erected in different places around the world to function as an artist’s studio. This publication presents an overview of the manifestations of Reset by Robijn.
