Mark Manders - The Absence Of Mark Manders, Bonnefanten
, Roma publications, 2020 Softcover, 144 pages, Illustrated. ISBN 9789072251831.
A catalogue of the extensive retrospective exhibition ?The Absence of Mark Manders? at the Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht. The rooms in the exhibition can be regarded as the spaces of the artist?s ongoing work ?Self-portrait as a building?. The works have been ?left behind? by the artist in three different zones: the visitor enters a living room, then the museum, and finally the studio. According to Manders, all of these works are interchangeable and can be put into a different context, ?like words in a sentence can also be used in different combinations?. A text by Douglas Fogle focuses on the role of language in Manders?s oeuvre.
Marina Rheingantz.

Marina Rheingantz. The FRAC Auvergne welcomes for the first time in France the Brazilian painter Marina Rheingantz. Her paintings and embroideries are nourished by the recollection of Brazilian landscapes, memories of the compactness of the earth, of light and its variations, of the atmospheric nebulousness of twilight, of the pointillist scattering of birds in the sky, of the emergence of clusters of flowers and shrubs, of mounds emerging from the surface of flooded plains? Painting landscapes today cannot be envisaged without the awareness of the incongruity and inactivity of such a subject. Painting landscapes cannot be separated from the conviction that such a subject ? historically exhausted ? can still be tackled, especially if one keeps in mind a banality that is always good to remember, namely that a painting is first of all the story of a look at something: the painting tells the way in which the painter?s gaze has landed on his subject before depositing it on its support.
Dirk Braeckman Belgian Pavillion at the 57th Venice Biennial
, Walter Koenig Verlag , 2017 Paperback, 256x208mm, 200p, 120 bw and col. illustrations. English edition . ISBN 9783960981152.
Dirk Braeckman's work brings stillness to today's steady tide of images. Working with analogue photography, he explores the boundaries of his medium and challenges photographic conventions. His chosen subjects are recognizable, yet flirt with representation, abstraction and the reality of what is shown. Dirk Braeckman creates images with a special charge, which withhold as well as divulge information, giving them the power to hold the viewer's gaze. Dirk Braeckman will represent Belgium at the 57th Venice Biennale.
