‎VOORUIT Icon & Future. Essay by Christoph Grafe and Beatrice Josse, Interview with artists Bonom, Strook and Christoph Hefti. Interview with architect Geert Pauwels by Egon Verleye‎

‎, MER Paper Kunsthalle, 2020 Softcover, 292 x 215 mm, 160 pages, English / NL edition. ISBN 9789463930796.‎

‎This book offers an architectural report of the metamorphosis that the Vooruit art center has known during the last ten years. Spurred on by a growing need for the arts center to physically adapt and make new connections with its surroundings and its users, the iconic monument underwent a transformation from a cultural home to an urban platform. The book further elaborates on the vision of the architect and how he wants to build on this art and architecture treasure from the past in a unique and challenging way. The social importance and responsibilities of the arts center in the city are deepened in a debate, in which sustainability and greening are also given a place. In addition, art in the public space becomes an important theme in the publication. Three artists give their reflection on the new architecture through interviews. Their artworks are a lasting witness. In the first part, architecture reviewer Christoph Grafe elaborates on the social and architectural importance of the transformation. In the second part, Louis Demey (ov) enters into a dialogue with architect Geert LM Pauwels. Finally, the artists Christophe Hefti, Strook and Bonom give their view of art in the public space. The dialogue between old and new is beautifully portrayed by the powerful photography of Karin Borghouts, Michiel Devijver and Reinhart Cosaert.

‎This is a fine composite atlas by the engravers of the French 17th century school. Most of the 67 maps are by Nicolas Sanson and his son Guillaume Sanson (40 + 10, as the Tavernier-maps are done by Sanson).Nicolas Sanson (1600-1667) is generally thought of as the father of the 17th century school of map-making, maps which are known for their charm and elegance in the fine lettering and delicate engraving. Sanson published an atlas of France, world atlasses and another atlas with the title ""Cartes Générales de toutes les Parties du Monde (1658), containing 82 maps. After his death, the firm was run by his sons Guillaume and Adrian. After 1670 the firm's map-making material was taken over by Herbert Jaillot. Pierre Duval (1618-1683), here represented with 7 maps, was geographer to the King of France and pupil of Sanson.Content: 1.

‎Rare manuscrit Kabalistique 18éme « Amulette juive », rédigé en hébreu en écriture cursive orientale, avec de nombreux dessins et figures dans le corps du texte. Manuscrit finement calligraphié par son possesseur en hébreu cursif sur des papiers à la texture et couleurs différentes, dont lobjet principal est la protection contre le « mauvais il » (Ayin Hara), avec dans le texte des schémas, symboles et tableaux kabalistiques. La tradition kabbalistique propose de nombreux dispositifs de protection sous forme d'amulettes permettant de détourner les démons, traiter les maladies, assurer les fonctions du corps et de lesprit etc. Les amulettes peuvent être portées en bijoux comme l'étoile de David ou la main de Khamsa, mais prennent aussi la forme de tableaux composés de lettres hébraïques dans chaque case ou sous la forme de symboles kabbalistiques (les formes avec des petits ronds reliés ou non). Des idéogrammes de lalphabet céleste parcourent notre manuscrit. Lalphabet céleste est classé dans les groupes didéogrammes ou de signes « à lunettes » ou « astraux ». Des ensembles de points ligaturés constituant de petites formes géométriques ressemblant généralement à des lettres hébraïques ou arabes. Ces sont là les motifs parmi les plus courants des manuscrits magiques ou astrologiques médiévaux. On les retrouve, sous différentes configurations, depuis la haute Antiquité. Au sein de la littérature kabbalistique, nous retrouvons divers alphabets « à lunettes » (alphabet de Metatron, de Mikhael, etc.) qui sont connus sous le vocable de qolmosin ou de ktab enayim, du fait que leurs lettres sont formées de lignes et de petits cercles ressemblant à des yeux. Le Sepher Raziel est illustré à divers endroits par ces caractères qui sont également utilisés pour la confection des amulettes (kemeoth) magiques de la Kabbale pratique. Provenance: Afrique du Nord ou moyen orient. Passionnant document qui mériterait une étude approfondie. 1 vol 12mo (155 x 110 mm) of: 34, [2] ff handwritten in brown ink in oriental cursive script with numerous figures, stars and tables in the text, on 3 different papers, one bluish, cut watermark resembling the base of a crescent. Later handwritten annotations and numbering, last 2 ff later (soiling, stains, wear and small tears). Paperback, stitching running through the quires, with a moth-eaten period card cover (soiling and stains). Rare 18th century Kabalistic manuscript Jewish Amulet, written in Hebrew in oriental cursive script, with numerous drawings and figures in the body of the text. Manuscript finely calligraphed by its owner in cursive Hebrew on paper of different textures and colors, whose main purpose is protection against the evil eye (Ayin Hara), with Kabbalistic diagrams, symbols and tables in the text. The kabbalistic tradition offers numerous protective devices in the form of amulets to ward off demons, treat illnesses, ensure body and mind functions, and more. Amulets can be worn as jewelry, such as the Star of David or the Hand of Khamsa, but they can also take the form of tables with Hebrew letters in each square, or in the form of Kabbalistic symbols (shapes with small connected or unconnected circles). Ideograms of the celestial alphabet run through our manuscript. The celestial alphabet is classified as a group of ideograms or spectacle or astral signs. These are sets of ligatured dots forming small geometric shapes, generally resembling Hebrew or Arabic letters. These are some of the most common motifs found in medieval magical or astrological manuscripts. They have been found in various configurations since antiquity. In Kabbalistic literature, we find various spectacle alphabets (Metatron's alphabet, Mikhael's alphabet, etc.) known as qolmosin or ktab enayim, because their letters are formed of lines and small circles resembling eyes. The Sepher Raziel is illustrated in various places by these characters, which are also used to make the magic amulets (kemeoth) of practical Kabbalah. Source: North Africa or Middle East. A fascinating document that deserves in-depth study.‎

‎BRAM DEMUNTER - Burrowers, Climbers, Crawlers. ‎

‎, Tim Van Laere Books , 2024 hardcover, 112 pages, throughout colour illustrations Text in English, Dutch, French, Italian. . ISBN 9789464004281.‎

‎BRAM DEMUNTERB urrowers, Climbers, Crawlers30 November, 2023 - 20 January, 2024 INSTALLATION VIEWS WORKS Tim Van Laere Gallery presents the second solo exhibition by Bram Demunter, titled Burrowers, Climbers, Crawlers. Bram Demunter's work is about us, human beings, and about the place we occupy in the world. It is about the mythologies we shape around ourselves, the narratives and the visual cultures we create, as well as the traces we leave behind in the natural world. His paintings and drawings strongly illustrate his process of collecting, examining and categorizing different elements. The artist can spend many hours studying an object, while wondering where it came from and what history it has been gone through. These objects then manage to nestle in his subconscious, establishing new connections between obscure stories, tales, legends and myths with forgotten symbolism, which he seamlessly connects to more recent events. His oeuvre does not convey an unambiguous message, but rather weaves meanings that resonate with individual and collective memories whereby a depicted motif reminds us of countless other images. His references do not focus on specific symbols or archetypes and must not be mistaken as unequivocal allusions. In doing so, the artist emphasizes that all things can exist simultaneously and can be displayed as such. This phenomenon is clearly demonstrated in his work Turn the Mud Around, where Demunter makes use of an eclectic range of influences and sources: ranging from the late Middle Ages to the Flemish Primitives as well as the impasto of seventeenth-century artists like Rubens and Jordaens. His artistic affiliations, such as his depiction of landscapes and other scenes of nature in some of his paintings, seem to originate from Italian Renaissance painting and and are reminiscent of the sfumato technique of that period. His imagery extends far beyond classical influences; it is infused with elements of twentieth-century abstract expressionism including artists such as Philip Guston, neo-expressionist Georg Baselitz and Grandma Moses. In addition, Demunter embraces the refinement of Indian miniature art, the splendor of Persian and Indian tapestries, alongside the intimacy of Enclosed Gardens. For this exhibition, Demunter drew inspiration from obscure maps and old books, diving deep into human history in search of handed-down traces of interaction with nature. Rocks are therefore an important theme in his work, and take the form of mountains, rock formations, caves, meteorites, thereby embodying ancient symbolism. The diversity of symbols reveals the deep-rooted human fascination with nature across epochs and cultures. Instead of using maps as merely representational tools, Demunter exploits them as sources that capture the human interaction with the world. Demunter's approach is not limited to visual compositions, but extends far beyond words: each work, whether drawn, painted or written, forms an exploratory journey, which transcends time and space; his images suspend time, as it were. Bram Demunter (b. 1993, Kortrijk) lives and works in Kortrijk, Belgium. Work of the artist can be found in several national and international collections. ?‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2023 Hardcover 260 pages, Illustrated. ISBN 9789464666816.‎

‎A contemporary view of the masterly works of Dieric Bouts This book, published in association with the exhibition, DIERIC BOUTS. Creator of Images, at M Leuven, attempts to get closer to this enigmatic figure. Dieric Bouts had both feet in his world: it is perhaps that we seem unable to understand his work. This book includes comprehensive essays and shorter texts that focus on specific works by the Flemish master, outlining the social, intellectual, and artistic context in which Bouts worked. They highlight his oeuvre from new angles and offer new perspectives on works that are now more than five centuries old ? through a radical confrontation with the visual culture of today. The result is a more nuanced image of the great artist from Leuven. Dieric Bouts regains his place in the history of art as the eye-expanding maker of images that he was. This book is published on the occasion of the impressive retrospective at M Leuven from 20 October 2023 to 14 January 2024. Dieric Bouts (ca. 1410/20-75) is one of the most elusive figures in the history of Western art. Flemish primitive of the second generation, painter of silence such are the labels that are usually attributed to him. But was the Master of Brabant not more than that?

‎Om Identiteten af Lyssvingninger og elektriske Stømme. (On the Identity of the Vibrations of Light with electrical Currents).‎

‎(København, 1867). Contemp. marbled clothbacked boards. Titlelabel with gilt lettering on upper cover. Pp. 26-45. Extracted from ""Oversigt over det Kgl. danskeVidenskabernes Selskabs Forhandlinger 1867, Nr. 1"".‎

‎Extremely scarce first edition of the paper in which Lorenz, independent of Maxwell, stated that light is electromechanical in nature, probably inspired by his former teacher H. C. Oersted, the discoverer of electromagnetism and professor at the Polytechnic College, he aimed at unifying the forces of nature without introducing new physical hypotheses. ""The idea that the various forces in nature are merely different manifestations of the one and same force has proved itself more fertile than all physical theories"".Most impressive of all Lorenz’ achievements in optics is his electromagnetic theory of light, developed in a relatively unknown paper of 1867, two years after Maxwell’s famous paper on the same subject. At that time Lorenz did not know Maxwell’s theory, and his own approach was quite different. Lorenz’ electromagnetic theory of light can be described briefly as an interpretation of the light vector as the current density vector in a medium obeying Ohm’s law. This paper contains the fundamental equations for the vector potential and the scalar potential or - for the first time - the corresponding retarded potentials expressed in terms of the current density vector and the electrical charge density. The concept of retarded potentials had already been introduced in an earlier paper by Lorenz in connection with research on the theory of elasticity. He found that the differential equation for the current density vector was the same as his fundamental wave equation for the light vector, completed with a term which explains the absorption of light in conducting media, and that his theory led to the correct value for the velocity of light."" (Mogens Pihl in DSB).The paper was published in English, 1867 ""On the identity of the vibrations of light with electrical currents."" (Philosophical Magazine 34: 287-301) and also in German in ""Annalen der Physik""‎
