After Present is an accessible art trail with 33 works that visitors can follow at their own pace. The route connects the MOU, Liedtspark, Scheldekop, the towpath along the Scheldt and the Ename Provincial Heritage Site. There is no fixed starting or finishing point: visitors can begin the route at the MOU or at the Ename Provincial Heritage Site. A children’s trail has also been developed for families, making the art trail accessible to a wide audience. The works in the exhibition are conceived as archaeological finds from the future. Using elements such as modern menhirs, boulders and references to industrial materials, Maarten Vanden Eynde explores the traces left behind by today’s society. “After Present looks at our time as if it were already over,” says Vanden Eynde. “The works show what future archaeologists might find and how they would interpret our world.”
