Niki de Saint Phalle - Bai Nv - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Niki de Saint Phalle - Bai Nv - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Innovative and pioneering, French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) created an extensive and complex body of work over her five decade long career. Her work received international recognition as early as 1961 when her work was included in the important exhibition ''The Art and Assemblage'' at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Since then Saint Phalle has been the subject of numerous exhibitions worldwide. Her bright and joyful Nana sculptures have become known as her signature artwork. The artist and her oeuvre however, cannot be solely understood through this one body of work. This catalogue, accompanying the artist''s first comprehensive retrospective in Belgium at Beaux-Arts Mons (BAM), explores Saint Phalle''s multi-faceted practice, examining how the artist worked across a wide-range of media - painting, assemblage, sculpture, performance, public sculpture and architectural projects, film and theatre. Providing an overview of Saint Phalle''s entire career, it seeks to demonstrate how the artist used her boundless imagination and unique vision of the world to transcend the space typically reserved for women to become one of the twentieth century''s most important artists.The title - "Here Everything is Possible" - is a statement made by Saint Phalle about her monumental sculpture park: The Tarot Garden in Tuscany, Italy. It should however, be read as a testimony to the artist''s attitude to her entire artistic process - one of limitless possibility. This extensive, fully illustrated, catalogue includes new scholarly texts by Catherine Francblin, Alison Gingeras, Denis Laoureux, Camille Morineau, Kyla McDonald and Xavier Roland. The essays are accompanied by interviews with Daniel Abadie and Marcelo Zitelli, who both worked closely with the artist during her lifetime, and an illustrated biography.

Pierre Alechinsky - - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Carta Canta shows a selection of Alechinsky''s working on paper from 270 works that were donated to the royal museums in the past, as well as a number of works from more recent exceptional donations. More than 200 drawings, watercolours, etchings, lithographs and paintings invite you to dream and travel. Dive into the infinity of the imagination. The exhibition and publication reveal how Alechinsky, with a sharp feeling for technical experimentation, scanning its own imagination. For example, he elevates the act of drawing ‐ and therefore the drawing itself ‐ to the core of its rich and versatile oeuvre. In addition, the interdisciplinary view of the exhibition exposes connections between the artist and the collection of the museums, from Ensor to Magritte.

Les Voyageurs - - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Tinka Pittoors (b. 1977) is a Belgian visual artist, who regularly exhibits her work in Flanders, Wallonia, the Netherlands and France. Anyone who crosses the threshold of her studio will feel as if they''ve stepped into an artificial secret garden. An explosion of shapes and colours awaits in a place where everything has the potential of becoming an artwork. In her sculptures and objects, Pittoors examines the utopia of a malleable world, often using the nature‐culture divide as her starting premise. Each presentation is a moment in time, a snapshot, that is tailored to the venue. Les Voyageurs is published on the occasion of her eponymous exhibition in the gardens of Château Seneffe. Many people in Flanders have yet to discover this hidden gem. And yet the castle and gardens of Seneffe are Wallonia''s equivalent of Versailles, with fountains, pavilions, pristine nature, and dreamy paths on 22 hectares of land. For this exhibition, Pittoors created a trail that reflects on the various possibilities of travel, displacement and detachment, arriving and leaving, escapes and quests. The introduction was written by Pieter Vermeulen. Other contributors include Marjolaine Hanssens, Veronika Pot, Carine Fol, Isabelle Pouget, Dominique Legrand, Stijn Tormans, Marc Ruyters, Jan Braet and Saskia De Coster. Text in English, French and Dutch.

Koen Lauwaert - - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

"To my mind, Koen is the photographer of the instant. Whatever the subject, the format, the colour may be, the emotion that is implied is always expressed vigorously; either with a sense of humour, seriousness, or with lots of tenderness. Unlike other photographers, he is not the prisoner of a style; his goal is to express the sincerity of the moment in its widest variety. Koen''s freedom also lies in a real physical need to be in motion, on a journey. In this way, systematically taking pictures beyond the borders allows him to focus, to find himself, and to come as close as possible to the essence of his soul." Antoine Reyre, CEO CAPA Pictures Shot in Time is the first anthology by the Belgian photographer Koen Lauwaert, who displays his talent for developing an original and poetic language that alternates the different registers of contemporary photography, from portraiture to abstraction through reportage. Partly academically trained, studying at the Brussels Filmschool and the Photo Academy Rhok, Koen Lauwaert devised his own language in the field, working as a film operator during his military service and for an agency specialising in portraits of children and families as well as a cover author for rock band albums. Shot in Time is an autobiographical narrative in which the passion for photography goes hand in hand with Koen''s nomadic soul, the images are taken all over the world, notably in Italy, a country for which the author has a predilection.

Vincent was here - - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) moved from place to place from quite early on in his life, never staying in one spot for very long. In the Borinage distract of Belgium, he decided to devote himself to art. The photographer Karin Borghouts followed in Vincent''s footsteps, from his Dutch birthplace in Zundert to Auvers-sur-Oise in France where he took his own life. She has also reconstructed 25 of his still lifes and photographed them. Text in English, French and Dutch.

Rubens - Alejandro Vergara - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Rubens - Alejandro Vergara - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is the most important painter of sketches in the history of European art. His Italian and Flemish predecessors had for the most part prepared their paintings by using drawings. Rubens transformed this process by systematically making sketches in colour, with oil paint, and nearly always on panel supports. Rubens''s oil sketches were essentially a new form of painting. They brought together the design and colour stages of preliminary work. Because their purpose was to advance another work of art, oil sketches demanded less effort and time than the final products, and this translated into a less polished finish and smaller size.Rubens''s sketches invite us to indulge in his art. They are powerful, vivid renditions of a variety of themes, from ancient history and mythology to religion, still life and portraits. They combine seriousness of purpose and a zest for life, transmitted through a masterly lightness of touch. Their small size and appearance of incompleteness draw us in and entice us to look closely. Their sheer quality is a great source of pleasure and learning. This catalogue presents detailed studies and superb illustrations of eighty-two of Rubens''s most eloquent oil sketches, and two essays explaining the historical context from which they emerged, their salient features and how they were viewed by contemporaries.

Rare and Indispensable - - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Magritte, Bacon, Ensor, Moore, Jordaens, Rubens … These were just some of the world-famous names on display at the MAS. The not-to-be-missed exhibition ''Rare and Indispensable'' brought a unique selection of masterpieces from the Flemish masterpiece list and has been captured here in this accompanying catalogue. Works of art you normally would have to travel all over Flanders to see, or which were never even publicly accessible, could be temporarily admired in one museum hall. All in honour of the 20th anniversary of the ''Flemish Masterpiece Decree''. '' Rare and Indispensable '' was an absolute must-see that took the visitor on an art-historical walk along several masterpieces from Flemish collections. Some 35 large and small museums, as well as churches, libraries and private collectors temporarily lended masterpieces from their collections. All of them works that have been included in the Flemish Masterpiece List since 2003. Famous paintings by Hugo van der Goes, Rubens, Jordaens, Ensor, Magritte and Bacon, sculptures by Lucas Faydherbe and Henry Moore, as well as precious silver, medieval manuscripts and a rare piece of furniture by Pierre Gole, ébeniste du roi of the French king Louis XIV, were available to be admired in one place at the same time. Curators Thomas Leysen and Ben Van Beneden, members of the ''Topstukkenraad'' (Masterpiece council), selected all the masterpieces for this exhibition.

memymom. Home Game - - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

memymom. Home Game - - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

memymom is the mother‐daughter artistic collaboration of Marilène Coolens and Lisa De Boeck. Their transgenerational project, which first emerged in the 1990s, consists of intimate archives and family photos where Marilène urges her daughter Lisa to express and invent herself by improvising her own theatrical scenes. Since 2004, the protagonists have worked together behind and in front of the lens, simultaneously photographer and model. Over the years, memymom''s dreamlike, partly directed portraits have matured into a conversation about metamorphosis, personal identity, potential, as well as a plea for sensual analysis and tragic romanticism, as irrefutably illustrated in their latest series Somewhere Under the Rainbow . In this book, which is the culmination and prolongation of their recent work, the two artists disclose the way in which their themes and visual language have remained constant over the past 30 years, while simultaneously evolving fascinatingly in terms of aesthetics and content, through recurring references and reflections. This exhibition also provides an opportunity to see how the inclusion of an assorted group of other people, each playing a different role, has always been part of their artistic process.

Archipel - Exhibitions International - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Archipel - Exhibitions International - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Indonesia and its more than 17,000 islands are spread out over a surface area equivalent to that of the European Union. As an area of confluences and encounters, the Indonesian archipelago has always been one of the most important crossroads of world trade, where Austronesian ships, Arab dhows, Chinese junks, Iberian caravels, and other ships of the East India Companies berthed long before the container ships and oil tankers of today. The history of this archipelago is that of a multitude of links and connections, where the near and the far intermingle, forced to compete in a ubiquitous maritime world. The sea brings together more than she separates, and the monsoon winds have made this intersection a mandatory stop for merchants, clerics, and foreign diplomats, whose presence has left traces in the myths, monuments, arts, and traditions of contemporary Indonesia. Overlapped, blended, reinterpreted by rich and complex societies, these inflows have forged multiple worlds that the relationship with the sea has finely coloured and chiselled. Archipel invites us to discover this world, with the sea as the common thread, and an exceptional collection of major artworks as markers of a history to be discovered and admired.

Aboriginalities - Michel Draguet - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Aboriginalities - Michel Draguet - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Aboriginalities immerses you into the fascinating universe of Aboriginal painting — an art form that is both ancestral and contemporary, always rooted in spirituality. Far more than a simple physical and sensory experience, Aboriginal art invites us to rethink our connection to the earth and the universe. As a window on the spiritual, Aboriginal art tells the story of the creation of the world ‐ called "Dreamtime"* — and the original link between humans and the earth. The numerous motifs (dotted lines, spirals, zigzags, crosshatching...) are passed down from generation to generation by members of the same community, concealing centuries‐old secrets as well as a map of their territory. This ancestral and highly symbolic art form was originally concealed: drawn in the sand or applied on rocks on territories forbidden to laypersons. But in the early 1970s, amidst struggles for the recognition of an Aboriginal identity, the Papunya Tula community translated their cultural practices and symbolic knowledge through paint. Using non‐traditional methods borrowed from Western culture (acrylics, brushes, cardboard and later canvas), the indigenous people of Australia found a modern way to express their cultural, political, social and economic struggles. Vibrant and colourful, the exhibition Aboriginalities is built around part of the private collection of Marie Philippson, who has been passionate about modern culture and Aboriginal art for over 20 years. The exhibition shows over 120 paintings and objects, reflecting the extraordinary formal inventiveness of Aboriginal artists. At several intersections throughout the exhibition, a dozen works from the RMFAB''s modern art collection echo the subjects addressed by these "Dreamtime" artists, questioning our relationship to the visible and the invisible.

Never Mind - Iris Kockelbergh - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

In Richard Deacon''s solo exhibition Some Time , a refabricated version of his sculpture Never Mind takes pride of place among more than twenty-five other works. Over time, the original sculpture, made in 1993, proved to be incompatible with the natural environment of an open-air museum. Now, after a period of critical reflection and discussion with the artist himself, what he calls a ''refabrication'' has taken place. Follow the artist and the museum''s quest for an innovative, sustainable solution to the renewal of (or variation on) a monumental sculpture that offers a potentially new line of approach for the future.This book not only represents the Some Time exhibition, but thanks to its diversity of material, ranging from original sketches and intimate correspondence to construction photos from the workshop and installation shots, it also gives a unique insight into Deacon''s working process. At the same time, it provides a moment of critical reflection from the perspectives of the various authors who have contributed to it.Text in English and Dutch.

Bai Ming - Christine Shimizu - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

Born in 1965 about 100 kilometres from the former imperial porcelain factories of Jingdezhen in China, Bai Ming is a multi-facetted visual artist. A professor and lecturer, he is director of the Department of Ceramics at the Academy of Art and Design of Qinghua University in Beijing, and of the Shangyu Celadon International Art Centre of Contemporary Ceramics. He also heads two workshops, where he boldly mixes ancestral techniques, traditions and practices with those of international contemporary art. The delicacy of his technique in ceramics, painting and lacquer has revitalised Chinese porcelain, freeing it from its archaic forms. His creations have won major Chinese awards and are recognised by collectors around the world. Christine Shimizu, curator of the exhibition devoted to the artist at the Keramis Centre in Belgium, brings together various authors in this book: Mael Bellec, Antoinette Faÿ-Hallé, Jean-François Fouilhoux, Catherine Noppe and Ludovic Recchia. All testify, each in their own way, to their perception of Bai Ming''s multifaceted work. The book follows an exhibition that will take place at Keramis from 16 November 2019 to 15 March 2020.

"''Globalization'', a commonly used word these days, is the reason of changing global landscapes. Larger firms buy small, authentic companies, the small companies that want to keep doing what they do, and don''t want to be bought by larger firms, struggle to compete, eventually they disappear. My view on this phenomenon is displayed in my first book Bus Stop. For decades, sons and daughters kept alive the bus company started by their mothers and fathers. These past 2 years I travelled through Belgium to document their activities, to feel the atmosphere on board and to show who they are. What''s evolving and what could be lost in a few years." - Nick Claeskens. Text in English and Dutch.

Kris Fierens (born 1957) uses the character of a preliminary study or a sketch as an enduring thing. Or, in their possibility they imitate the character of a preliminary study. Reality and emotion reach a virtual zero point. The gestures that he makes simply become the ''objets trouvés'' . The object ''on his own'' is never present. It''s the included matter that enables him to save his dream. Traces of something that still needs to happen. Of which a disappearing memory can already behold. Text in English and Dutch.

Catherine Francois - Steve Polus - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

"Nature is the great Creator, the maker of all things; I am merely her instrument" says Catherine François, with the humility of the greatest. The oeuvre of the sculptor reflects the escalating chaos that grips the world and feeds her anxiety and our own. The disorder is deep, organic. But for the artist, these accidents are the source of an ambitious research which aims, through art, to underline the necessity for humankind to finally respect Nature, on which our survival depends. This book illustrates the artist''s prolific career: 30 years of sculpture and a creativity that expresses itself with all the energy of the living. Text in English and French.

Designed by Axel Enthoven. Day after day he proves that elegance still exists. He demonstrates that statements, sloganesque formulations, cutting corners, taking an obtuse attitude to people are not his thing. That kindness is not synonymous with weakness. That taking the time to think things through properly should not be the exception. Taking responsibility for the impact of actions and words is not a rare occurrence. Striving after timelessness and sustainability is given a lasting interpretation. For him, combining aesthetics and functionality is a matter of course.Thanks to Axel Enthoven we are reminded that things can be different. And how important design is.

James Ensor - Xavier Tricot - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

James Ensor - Xavier Tricot - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

In 1912-1913, James Ensor produced a series of 32 drawings in coloured pencil titled Scènes de la vie du Christ [Scenes from the life of Christ]. Each drawing on paper measures about 15 by 21 cm. The series depicts different episodes from the lives of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. In it, Ensor managed to combine the sublime and the grotesque in an unsurpassed manner. Some compositions are quite conventional, others typically ''Ensorian'', and some even humorous. Among the works in the series is a drawing in which Ensor portrays himself as Christ, confronted with a dozen Belgian art critics who have gathered before him. In 1929 the drawings were made into lithographs and published in the form of an album by Galerie Georges Giroux in Brussels. These drawings can be considered as a link between the Ostend master''s early and later oeuvre. The series combines various motifs which Ensor also executed in oil paint. The author of the work, Xavier Tricot, also pays close attention to the figure of Christ in James Ensor''s work. From 1885 onward, the figure of Christ occupied a central position in Ensor''s oeuvre. In some of his works, the artist identified with the Messiah.

Fiona Tan - Denis Gielen - Bog - BAI NV - Plusbog.dk

The Dutch artist Fiona Tan is well known for her photography, film, and video installations in which she frequently addresses ideas of identity, memory, and history. This publication documents recent works including a new large-scale project commissioned by the Grand-Hornu Museum of Contemporary Arts in Mons, Belgium and presented here for the first time. This work, titled Shadow Archive , is inspired by Paul Otlet (1868-1944), considered to be one of the forefathers of information science. Shadow Archive deals in particular with Otlet''s decades-long utopian quest to establish a central repository for the world''s information; between 1919 and 1934, Otlet and his team assembled more than 16 million index cards of data. This book incorporates previously unpublished original drawings and notes drafted by Otlet and selected by Fiona Tan for her installation; an amazing archive which reveal his visionary and creative personality as well as his exploration of the limits of the human knowledge.Text in English and French.
