‎Charif Benhelima (1967, Brussel) is een kunstenaar met Belgische, Sefardische en Arabische roots. Zijn hele oeuvre is een fotografisch onderzoek naar identiteit en naar het gevoel een buitenstaander te zijn. Naast het onderwerp is ook de reflectie over het medium een belangrijk gegeven in de artistieke praktijk van de kunstenaar. Voor de reeks 'Semites' (2005) koos Charif Benhelima de polaroidcamera als werkinstrument. De polaroid levert een 1-op-1-beeld af: het moment kristalliseert zich zonder omwegen in een foto. Deze foto is meteen het eindresultaat. 'Semites' omvat 135 polaroidfoto's van bestaande afbeeldingen (m.a.w. reproducties via de polaroidcamera), waarin de flits van de polaroidcamera duidelijk zichtbaar is. De reflectie van dit licht schijnt over het oorspronkelijke beeld en wordt zichtbaar op het uiteindelijke resultaat, het polaroidbeeld. 'In New York werd ik tot mijn verbazing geconfronteerd met het feit dat mijn naam, Benhelima, van Joodse afkomst is en dat heeft het werk "Semites" beinvloed. Met de Polaroid 600 als hulpmiddel en door het in vraag stellen van de begrippen identiteit en werkelijkheid ontwikkelde ik wat ikzelf een fake documentary work noem. Door op een paneel afbeeldingen van Joodse, Arabische, Sefardisch Joodse portretten en portretten van mezelf door elkaar te hangen creeer ik een persoonlijk document, een collage van afbeeldingen van strijdige identiteiten die tegenstrijdig verwarrend zijn. Om nog meer desorientatie te creeren heb ik licht aan de portretten toegevoegd, wat in plaats van het uiterlijk van mensen te benadrukken en te belichten eerder de details van hun gezicht vervaagt. Hierdoor wordt er een verband gelegd met de vage herinneringen die we hebben aan onze kindertijd. Ook de herinneringen die ik heb aan mijn ouders zijn eerder vaag.' (Vrij naar van An Van Dienderen in gesprek met Charif Benhelima). Exclusief voor deze tentoonstelling in Be-Part, Platform voor actuele kunst, werd de volledige reeks van 135 polaroidfoto's omgezet in cibachromeprints, die hun plaats krijgen in een imposante 'muur', a wall under construction. Charif Benhelima (? 1967, Brussels) is an artist with Belgian, Jewish-Sefardic and Arabic roots. It is only during a visit in New York that Benhelima realizes his name also implies a Jewish background. His whole oeuvre thereafter is a photographic quest in search of identity and the sense of being an outsider. For his series 'Semites' (2005), presented in a limited signed book, Charif Benhelima chose the polaroidcamera 600 as a working instrument, enabling him to question issues of identity and reality that result in what can be called a fake documentary work. 'The Semites: The Album' comprises 90 (2 x 45) polaroid pictures of already existing images: they are reproductions received via the polaroidcamera, in which the flash of the camera is clearly visible. The reflection of this light shines on top of the original image and becomes visible through over-exposure on the final result. Benhelima's polaroids deliver a one-on-one image: the moment crystallizes itself without detours in the photo. The photo instantly becomes the final result of the research. In this way, the polaroid image is even more desorienting. Details of the faces become blurry instead of sharp and well delineated. Benhelima thus creates a link with vague memories we have of our parents during the time we were children. Apart from Charif's search of identity and sense of belonging, reflection on photography is an equally important basis of the artist's artistic practice. During the exhibition in BE-Part Waregem devoted to 'Semites', Charif juxtaposed 135 images of Jewish, Arabic and Sefardic portraits and portraits of himself on a panel. The result is a personal document ‎

‎Josef Albers Life and Work‎

‎, Thame and Hudson, 2018 Hardcover with dusjacket,. ISBN 9780500519103.‎

‎While Josef Albers' Bauhaus colleagues Klee and Kandinsky are household names, Albers himself has remained inscrutable. He is best known as the painter of the Homages to the Square, a series of over 2,000 seemingly tightly controlled experiments in the interaction of colour. Yet he did not begin these pictures until he was in his sixties, already several decades into his career as an artist, maker and theorist, much of it pursued in the United States following the Nazi dissolution of the Bauhaus in 1933. Misunderstanding of the Homages reflects a wider misreading of Albers' life and work. Married to the textile artist Anni Albers, his papers include letters from fellow artists John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra and Eva Hesse; colleagues such as Buckminster Fuller and Philip Johnson; and fans and collectors ranging from the composer Virgil Thomson to the cartoonist Saul Steinberg. If his network of influence was surprisingly wide, so, too, were his interests. Albers started life at the Bauhaus as a glassmaker, ran their renowned wallpaper workshop, and designed furniture that is still in production eighty years later. He pioneered the study of colour at Black Mountain College, organized its famed Summer Sessions' with guest tutors from Willem de Kooning to Merce Cunningham, and went on to head the design department at Yale. Drawing on extensive unpublished writings, documents and illustrations, Darwent offers a broad view of not only the artistic and political currents, but also the friendships and rivalries that formed the backdrop to Albers' creative output.‎

‎Descent of Man, and Selection in relation to Sex‎

‎London, Murray, 1877 Green guilt cloth, 693 + 39 pages, 19.5 x 12.5 cm, English text. Second edition, twelfth thousand. *good condition, first page top of page teared, no damage to text. .‎

‎The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex is a book by English naturalist Charles Darwin, first published in 1871, which applies evolutionary theory to human evolution, and details his theory of sexual selection, a form of biological adaptation distinct from, yet interconnected with, natural selection. Darwin used the word "descent" to mean lineal descendant of ancestors. The book discusses many related issues, including evolutionary psychology, evolutionary ethics, evolutionary musicology, differences between human races, differences between sexes, the dominant role of women in mate choice, and the relevance of the evolutionary theory to society.‎

‎different forms of flowers on plants of the same species‎

‎London, John Murray, 1880 Green cloth guilt, xvi,352,32 pages, 19.5 x 13 cm, English. Second edition of 1250 copies only. *fair condition, spine slighly damaged on top and bottom and tape residue on page three, otherwise good.‎

‎Much of the content of this had previously been published in the Journal of the Linnean Society of London and elsewhere. Had Darwin not chosen such genetically complex examples, he might have approached more nearly to an understanding of the laws of particulate inheritance. Like Cross and self fertilisation, it was too technical a work to command a large sale, and only about 2,000 copies were sold in Darwin's lifetime, and perhaps 4,000 before the end of the century. The first edition, of 1,250 copies, was issued on July 9, 1877, in a standard case, at a cost of 10s. 6d. It has thirty-two pages of inserted advertisements which are dated January or March. The second, again of 1,250 copies, appeared in July 1880 with a new preface which surveys the recent literature, and in which Darwin states that 'the text has been left as it originally appeared excepting that a few errors have been corrected'. This is then the definitive text, but in the third thousand of 1884 Francis Darwin added another preface which again brings the literature up to date.‎

‎formation of vegetable mould, through the action of worms, with observations on their habits.‎

‎London, Murray, 1888 Green guilt cloth, unopened, 328 + 38 pages, 19.5 x 13.5 cm, English. *very good condition.‎

‎The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms, with Observations on their Habits (sometimes shortened to Worms) is an 1881 book by Charles Darwin on earthworms.[1] It was his last scientific book, and was published shortly before his death (see Darwin from Insectivorous Plants to Worms). Exploring earthworm behaviour and ecology, it continued the theme common throughout his work that gradual changes over long periods of time can lead to large and sometimes surprising consequences. It was the first significant work on soil bioturbation, although that term was not used by Darwin (it first appeared in the soil and geomorphic literature one hundred years later).‎

‎Naturalist's Voyage - Journal Of Researches Into The Natural History And Geology Of The Countries Visited During The Voyage Of H.M.S. Beagle Round The World. New edition, with portrait.‎

‎London, John Murray, 1890 Original green cloth gilt, 500 pages, 20 x 14 x 4 cm, English text. *very good condition.‎

‎When On the Origin of Species came out in 1859, it changed the understanding of life and was the foundation of evolutionary biology. All the material that he received for this book was from the famous expeditions he took on the Beagle during the 1830s. This is the story of that voyage. A Naturalist?s Voyage Round the World follows Charles Darwin over his almost five-year journey around the world, in which he studied animals, plants, geology, and much more. From the tip of South America and the Galapagos Islands to Australia and Tahiti, Darwin set out to study geology, but ended up finding the information that would lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection. ‎

‎On the Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs; also Geological Observations on the Volcanic Islands and Parts of South America Visited during the Voyage of HMS Beagle. ‎

‎London, New York and Melbourne, Ward, Lock, and Co, 1890 Blue/green cloth with guilt titles, 549 pages, 6 maps and numerous illustrations. *very good condition.‎

‎The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs, Being the first part of the geology of the voyage of the Beagle, under the command of Capt. Fitzroy, R.N. during the years 1832 to 1836, was published in 1842 as Charles Darwin's first monograph, and set out his theory of the formation of coral reefs and atolls. He conceived of the idea during the voyage of the Beagle while still in South America, before he had seen a coral island, and wrote it out as HMS Beagle crossed the Pacific Ocean, completing his draft by November 1835. At the time there was great scientific interest in the way that coral reefs formed, and Captain Robert FitzRoy's orders from the Admiralty included the investigation of an atoll as an important scientific aim of the voyage. FitzRoy chose to survey the Keeling Islands in the Indian Ocean. The results supported Darwin's theory that the various types of coral reefs and atolls could be explained by uplift and subsidence of vast areas of the Earth's crust under the oceans.‎

‎Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication‎

‎ London, John Murray, 1890 Two volumes, green cloth with gilt titles, 473 + 495 pages, 20 x 13.5 cm, English text. *good condition.‎

‎The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication is a book by Charles Darwin that was first published in January 1868. A large proportion of the book contains detailed information on the domestication of animals and plants, but it also contains in Chapter XXVII a description of Darwin's theory of heredity which he called pangenesis. The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication went on sale on 30 January 1868, thirteen years after Darwin had begun his experiments on breeding and stewing the bones of pigeons. He was feeling deflated, and concerned about how these large volumes would be received, writing "if I try to read a few pages I feel fairly nauseated ... The devil take the whole book".In his autobiography, Darwin estimated that he had spent 4-year; 2 months "hard labour" on the book.‎

‎Expression Of The Emotions In Man And Animals‎

‎London, Murray, 1904 Green guilt cloth, viii, 397, [1 (blank)] pages + [1 (advertisements)] + [1 (blank)] pages + 21 figures on 16 plate leaves + black-and-white photographic illustrations of human expressions on 7 plate leaves. 20.5 x 14 cm. English. Good condition.‎

‎The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is Charles Darwin's third major work of evolutionary theory, following On the Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871). Initially intended as a chapter in Descent of Man, Expression grew in length and was published separately in 1872. Darwin explores the biological aspects of emotional behaviour and the animal origins of human characteristics like smiling and frowning, shrugging shoulders, the lifting of eyebrows in surprise, and the baring of teeth in an angry sneer.‎
