‎CONGO AS FICTION : Art Worlds Between Past and Present. ‎

‎, Scheidegger (ACC), 2020 HB, 279 x 228 mm, 328 pages, ENG edition, ISBN 9783858818355.‎

‎Investigates comprehensively how Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries Features many previously unpublished works by Congolese artists both contemporary and the 19th and early 20th centuries Congo's vibrant art scene attracts great worldwide interest A single Congo does not exist - or is in any case fictitious. Yet the Democratic Republic of Congo has an extraordinarily vibrant art scene that attracts great interest from around the world. Nowhere else in Africa art production is as manifold in form, media, and materials used. For many years, Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries. As the works of artists such as Sammy Baloji or Sinzo Aanza demonstrate, these effects never before were more topical than today. For the first time, this book, which is published in conjunction with an exhibition at Zurich's Museum Rietberg, features objects and photographs collected by the German anthropologist Hans Himmelheber during his journey to the Congo in 1938-39. The coloured masks, imposing figures, and richly decorated everyday objects bear witness to the period's extraordinary creativity and innovativeness as well as of the collector's own idea of Congo. They are juxtaposed with works by contemporary Congolese artists and complemented by essays that investigate the fiction of Congo both as an African and Western World imagination. Thus, the book links the past with the utopia of contemporary artistic production in central Africa. Published to accompany the exhibition Congo as Fiction: Art Worlds Between Past and Present at Museum Rietberg, Zurich, between 22 November 2019 and 15 March 2020.‎

‎New Perspectives on the 'Civil Wars' in Medieval Scandinavia‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 448 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:11 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503601502.‎

‎Summary In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Scandinavia was rocked by an ongoing period of ?civil war?, conflicts traditionally characterized by medieval historians as internal struggles that took place in the context of predominantly national, state-centred, political and constitutional frameworks. This volume, however, aims to overturn these established narratives, with carefully curated essays written by experts in the field offering a new pan-Scandinavian perspective on the period in question that emphasizes the importance of fluid, often overlapping social networks, permeable borders between realms, and constant underlying hostilities between rival groups. Through detailed examinations of pivotal moments in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish history, together with analyses of topographical patterns, gender issues, diplomacy, and three contributions that draw parallels within similar conflicts outside of Scandinavia, this book provides an important corrective to teleological narratives of the medieval ?civil wars? as a necessary stage on the route to state formation and modernity.

‎, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag & Thoth, Bussum, 2014 144 pagina's, 22 x 28 cm, 300 illustraties in kleur, paperback, Nederlands. ISBN 9789068686432.‎

‎De ambitie van Piet Mondriaan (1872-1944) was grenzeloos. Hij ontwikkelde zich tot één van de grootmeesters van de moderne kunst en legde een vastberaden weg af naar abstractie. Hij vertrok in januari 1912 naar Parijs om het kubisme te bestuderen. Twee jaar later keerde hij terug en toonde zijn nieuwe werk bij kunsthandel Walrecht in Den Haag. Toen werd duidelijk hoe mijlenver Mondriaan in twee jaar tijd verwijderd was geraakt van de Nederlandse kunst. Hij groeide uit tot een groot inspirator voor andere kunstenaars. Precies 100 jaar na de tentoonstelling bij Walrecht brengt het Gemeentemuseum Den Haag deze herinneringstentoonstelling als hommage aan Mondriaan, die in 2014 precies 70 jaar geleden overleed.‎

‎Book Collections as Archaeological Sites. A Study of Interconnectedness and Meaning in the Historical Library of the Canonesses Regular of Soeterbeeck‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 716 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, 267 col., 3 tables b/w., Language: English. FINE ISBN 9782503604589.‎

‎Summary In 1997 the canonesses regular of Soeterbeeck moved from their convent in Deursen (the Netherlands) to a nursing home in Nuland. They left behind an old library of considerable size and historical significance that is now the core of the Soeterbeeck Collection at Nijmegen University Library. It is a suitable starting point for telling the story of the historical library of a women's convent with roots in the Modern Devotion, from the community's humble beginnings in 1448 to the present day. This study describes the collective history of all manuscripts and early printed books that are known to have been in communal or personal ownership at Soeterbeeck. It investigates the books' production and delves into their traces of use. Many of these are connected to each other, usually because they were left by the same person or had the same purpose. Such units transcend the level of individual volumes and reveal what might be called the stratification of the historical library as a whole. They can be interpreted in the context of the sisters' personal lives and the convent's communal history. This approach provides insight in the multiplicity of meanings that the books had for their users. For the first time, theoretical principles of modern archaeology are used to map a historical library as an archaeological site. A scholarly catalogue of the Soeterbeeck Collection that documents its traces of use is also included. Stunning illustrations visually lay bare the books' eventful lives.

‎Vanaf de vroege zestiende eeuw verschenen er in Europa steeds meer studies waarin dieren en planten 'naar het leven' werden beschreven en verbeeld. In de daaropvolgende eeuwen werd het onderzoek naar de natuurlijke wereld verdiept en werd de kunst om die wonderbaarlijke natuur af te beelden geperfectioneerd. In De ontdekking van de natuur vindt u twintig prachtige en rijk geïllustreerde verhalen over vogels, insecten, bacteriën, draken en nog veel meer. De beschreven ontdekkingen zijn doorspekt met anekdotes over de bijzondere mannen en vrouwen die er tussen 1500 en 1900 voor hebben gezorgd dat wij het leven om ons heen en dat van onszelf zoveel beter begrijpen. Lees over de draak die in 1572 op een akker bij Bologna werd verslagen, over Van Leeuwenhoek, die met behulp van de door hemzelf gemaakte microscoop bacteriën in zijn eigen tandplak ontdekte. Of over hoe de jonge Charles Darwin tijdens zijn reis met de Beagle inzichten kreeg die de basis legden voor zijn evolutieleer. Hans Mulder is opgeleid als historicus en werkt als conservator natuurlijke historie van het Allard Pierson, de collecties van de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij publiceert over de geschiedenis van het boek en over hoe in de westerse samenleving de kijk op de natuur in de loop der tijd veranderde. Onderwerpen waarover hij ook doceert aan de UvA.

‎Een blijvende herinnering aan de unieke installaties van Hans Op de Beeck in het KMSKA In Nachtreis nodigt beeldend kunstenaar Hans Op de Beeck (1969) ons uit op een bijzondere wandeling door een verlaten, mysterieus landschap. Zijn monochroom grijze sculpturen lijken versteend of met as bedekt, alsof ze bevroren zijn in de tijd. De werken doen de toeschouwer stilstaan bij de poëzie van het alledaagse, onbewaakte moment. Maar er is meer. Achter de serene schoonheid schuilt een raadselachtige, duistere sfeer van een nakende ontsporing. De verstilde beelden van personages, stillevens, objecten, dieren, natuur en architectuur vormen samen een bevreemdende, surreële wereld die ons doet reflecteren over ons mens-zijn. Dit boek biedt een bijzonder beeldverslag waarin de unieke stemming van de tentoonstelling opnieuw wordt opgeroepen. Met tekstbijdragen van Annelien De Troij en Stéphane Symons. Publicatie bij de gelijknamige expo in het KMSKA in Antwerpen van 21 maart tot 17 augustus 2025.‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2025 hardcover, 28 x 23 cm, 272 pages, Hardcover, English edition, Quadrichromy, *New. ISBN 9789493416055.‎

‎A lasting memory to Hans Op de Beeck?s unique installation at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp In Nocturnal Journey, visual artist Hans Op de Beeck (b. 1969) invites us on an extraordinary journey through a desolate, mysterious landscape. His monochrome grey sculptures appear petrified or dusted with ash, as if frozen in time. These works draw the viewer in and invite contemplation on the poetry of everyday, unguarded moments. But there is more. Behind the serene beauty lies an enigmatic, dark atmosphere of impending derailment. The frozen figures?characters, still lifes, objects, animals, nature, and architecture?come together to form an uncanny, surreal world that compels us to reflect on our humanity. This book presents a remarkable visual record that captures the unique mood of the exhibition. With texts by Annelien De Troij and Stéphane Symons. Publication accompanying the exhibition Hans Op de Beeck: Nocturnal Journey at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, from 21 March to 17 August 2025..‎

‎ALFRED KUBIN : Confessions of a Tortured Soul‎

‎, Walther Koenig Verlag (Thames) 2022, 2022 Hardcover, 288 pages, ENG, 285 x 240 mm, *New, illustrations in colour, . ISBN 9783753301983.‎

‎The art of the great draftsman, illustrator and author of the novel The Other Side, Alfred Kubin, appears more current today than ever before: for it was violence, wartime destruction, pandemics, natural disasters, the manipulation of the masses and other abysses of human existence that pervaded his highly narrational works. The oeuvre of this fantastical creator confronts us with pessimistic visions which - to quote Schopenhauer - delineate "the worst of all possible worlds". Kubin's childhood and adolescence was shaped by setbacks and depression - he was dismissed from high school, abandoned his photography apprenticeship, lost his mother at an early age, attempted suicide at her grave and suffered a nervous breakdown after a short stint in the military. These are only some of the blows of fate that characterize his traumatic biography. Kubin found relief by moving to Munich in 1898, where he began to study art. His first visit to the Alte Pinakothek left him "filled with astonishment and ecstasy". He described seeing Max Klinger's etchings as a "cascade of visions of black and white images". As we know from his biographical notes, he subsequently familiarized himself "with the entire graphic oeuvre of Klinger, Goya, de Groux, Rops, Munch, Ensor, Redon and comparable artists". It was from this variety of impressions and artistic positions, but especially from his own empirical and emotional worlds and unbridled imagination, that Kubin created his unparalleled, mysterious-fantastical oeuvre. The exhibition at the Leopold Museum is the first to attempt an exploration of Kubin's oneiric worlds - which all too often enter nightmarish-somber spheres - in terms of their relation to the unconscious and the deep dimensions of the psyche. In this interpretation attempt, the psychoanalyst and psychiatrist August Ruhs will orient himself on works by Kubin selected by curator Hans-Peter Wipplinger with specific thematic emphases in mind. Kubin's works are placed into a dialogue with works by artists of the 19th century and of Classical Modernism from which Kubin derived inspiration for his oeuvre. Kubin's dystopian visualizations, which carry on from Symbolism and the fantastical art of the 19th century and may be considered precursors to French Surrealism, are composed of actual and imaginary reality: an ingenious synthesis, in which the uncanniness of these pessimistic realms is often seasoned with humor, irony and exaggeration.‎

‎Adam Helms‎

‎, Snoeck Verlagsgesellschaft Mbh 2013, 2013 Hardcover, 202 pages, English, 305 x 245 mm, fine copy, lots of illustrations and pictures,. ISBN 9783864420313.‎

‎Using an array of media, from found photography, gouache and charcoal on paper and silkscreen to assemblage and installation, acclaimed New York-based artist Adam Helms (born 1974) explores social and military conflict and the continuities between past and present instances of injustice. Helms draws heavily on found imagery (such as online images or photographs from library archives), frequently superimposing contemporary images and drawings upon them to establish both the eerie remoteness and the relevance of the past. This volume, the artist's first monograph, consists of full-page color spreads of installation views and details of the artist's oeuvre from 2007 to the present, as installed at institutions such as The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Sister, Los Angeles; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver; Grimm Gallery, Amsterdam and Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York.‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 46, 2021 HB, 297 x 210 mm, 72 pages, Illustrated. ENG-FR-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262470.‎

‎Hans Segers examines the formal properties of a painting. He emphasises how a painting is only a representation and presents it as an imitation of reality, 'trompe l'oeil', painted object and elevated art object. References to painting and sculpture are never far away. He chooses a number of abstracted, recurring forms that evoke the thought of a cloud, tree trunk and house. They function as his image library from which he draws to refer to reality. In the book Images Trouvées, Hans Segers collected twenty-nine shapes originally in a long concertina-shaped picture atlas, an archive of icons. Twenty-nine people from the art world in Belgium and France were invited to verbalise an image. As a result, the images in this book are enriched with new layers of meaning.

‎, Posture Editions Nr 24, 2017 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 72 pages, Illustrated.ENG-FR-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262241.‎

‎The best introduction to the work of Carole Vanderlinden (b. 1973) is explaining how it was created. It's probably easier to read her work if you know how it came to life. Many artists take inspiration from existing works of art they?ve generally come into contact with when growing up, often in books or magazines, sometimes in museums and galleries. Carole Vanderlinden loves to read and to leaf through books, but her main interest is visiting museums of ancient or ethnographic art. In general, she looks for any event, drawing, object, pattern, colour and rhythm that speaks to her. Joining her on two of these trips of discovery, once in Brussels and once in Paris, she can be fascinated by the most diverse objects, such as a zigzag Navajo carpet, Egyptian alabaster Canopic jars dating back to 1500 BC, 18th-century glazed biscuit from Tournai or a herbarium. These objects and their colours and rhythms are copied in notebooks, often with an accompanying text. Later she might re-paint them on paper creating new combinations or compositions. These works on paper usually remain quite light, with a lot of cut-outs, like minimalist collages. In parallel Vanderlinden works on her paintings without any preconceived idea. Layer after layer the paintings try to avoid being controlled or supervised in any way. Sometimes we see patterns emerge that are familiar from her works on paper. These patterns are used as ways of countering a painting, destabilising it, recreating a balance or finishing it. During this practice, the patterns become more compact and dense. Slowly they merge with the stubborn texture of the painting. The book Mon seul désir is a follow-up to Nocturne (2013). It contains reproductions of works on paper by Carole Vanderlinden and an oniric essay of Hans Theys, inspired by Carole?s works on paper and the medieval tapestry La dame à la licorne.?

‎For many years now, Johan De Wilde's work has been praised for its meticulous drawing style. The many solemnly applied layers that compose the works also hide in their folds, ever shrinking never to vanish, the Great Irony of our existence and its languages. This first monography presents over 500 drawings, prints and collages from the early nineties to today, concluding with the epic series Hands of Time. The book includes an essay by Hans Theys. A must for those acquainted with De Wilde?s works and a perfect introduction for all others. ‎
