Zilverwerk was door de eeuwen heen een bron van inspiratie voor heel wat kunstenaars. Religieus zilverwerk heeft het vak tot ongekende hoogten gebracht, maar in de loop van de 20e eeuw werden de opdrachten schaarser. Steeds meer ateliers moesten de deuren sluiten en al snel verdween monumentaal zilverwerk op de achtergrond. Gaandeweg lieten ook de opleidingen te wensen over. Het is de droom van vader Rob en zoon Jaap Thalen om opnieuw het allermooiste te maken: objecten, gebruiksvoorwerpen, kunstobjecten in zilver zoals die al heel lang bijna niet meer te vinden zijn. Monumentale creaties waarvoor zowel het oude vakmanschap als de meest geavanceerde technieken vereist zijn. Hun ontwerpen krijgen vorm in het Belgische Francorchamps en worden wereldwijd naar waarde geschat.

When St James the Great was beheaded in Jerusalem in AD 61, he became the first apostle to be martyred for his faith. According to legend, his disciples brought the body in a miraculous stone boat to north-western Spain, where they buried it in a place now known as Santiago de Compostela. Following a claim in the early ninth century that the tomb had been rediscovered, people began flocking to the site to venerate the relics. Santiago became, after Rome and Jerusalem, the most important place of pilgrimage in medieval Christendom. Pilgrims from all over Europe broke away from their daily routine and set off along the 'Way of St James' through France and Spain to the remote town of Santiago. They travelled from hostel to hostel, visiting the churches and other holy places which lay on the route. Over the centuries a 'cultural highway' evolved, which has left an indelible mark on the artistic, religious and social map of Europe. In 1984, Brian Tate, Emeritus Professor of Spanish at the University of Nottingham, retraced the ancient journey of the pilgrims, accompanied by his son Marcus and the photographer Pablo Keller. The result is a remarkable visual record of some of the most beautiful landscapes in southern Europe and architectural treasures dating from the Romanesque to the present day. To complement Pablo Keller's photographs, Brian and Marcus Tate have written a book that explains the pilgrimage phenomenon and the history of the shrine, as well as providing a companion to the journey itself. Five maps show the route in detail. Modern travellers, whether from the comfort of an armchair or in the footsteps of the original pilgrims, can re-create for themselves this great spiritual adventure of the medieval world. -- Inside jacket flap.

An ode to extravagant and lush interiors that are not afraid to take risks, this new design movement proves that when it comes to bold colors and rich detailing, more is always more. A 21st-century take on sumptuous interiors is sweeping through the design world, combining expressive colors and textures with unusual forms and materials. The result is a highly original interior style, a contemporary interpretation of art deco and classic 50s and 60s Hollywood film set interiors. This new maximalist aesthetic is lovingly layered with references--a welcome antidote to mid-century modernism and minimalist restraint. The House of Glam invites you into the most exciting homes, from Italy to the USA, that embody this decadent, playful trend, profiling key studios and designers at the forefront of the movement. Revealing the key insights behind this rich new spectrum of design, The House of Glam will convert even the most hardened minimalists among us.

"Hotel Gems of France" is the first in a series of books profiling what one might consider to be the world's dream vacation hotels. To me, it's a perfect scaled-down blend between the "Resorts & Great Hotels" and "Architectural Digest" magazines. There are 34 "gems" in this book, each portrayed in four to eight pages of text and gorgeous photographs. The back of the book contains an excellent section of factual information (e.g., rooms, facilities, activities, location), plus a map of France pinpointing the location of each hotel. I wouldn't necessarily use this book as a travel planning tool unless I had lots of time and was expecting to cover lots of territory. There are probably more than 34 hotels just in the Latin Quarter of Paris, so taking this number within all of France doesn't make for useful comparisons. Also, there are no rate listings for any of the hotels, but I'd guess that the term "upscale" would fairly describe the price, as it surely does the quality of the properties. Still, for those who enjoy superb photography, or who wish to get an introduction to France's beauty, or who might REALLY go on a dream vacation, this is a wonderful book. If I were rating this with my heart and eyes only, it would be 5 stars.

Zilversmeden Rob en Jaap Thalen, die zo mogelijk een nog grotere reputatie in de Verenigde Staten genieten dan in Europa, zijn ondertussen toe aan hun tweede boek. Jeroen Martens, directeur van het Zilvermuseum Sterckshof (Antwerpen) beschrijft hun werk als volgt: ?Het is opvallend hoe vader en zoon Thalen uitblinken in kennis van historische en hedendaagse technieken van het zilversmidambacht. De puurheid en schijnbare eenvoud van hun ontwerpen doen hun werk moeiteloos lijken. Het is een bewijs van hun uitstekende vakmanschap. De bron van hun werk is hun passie en liefde voor zilver. Hun talent voor design en hun inzicht in de mogelijkheden van het fijnzilver maken het werk van Thalen

In the mid-sixties, a young Belgian-American experimental/visual poet, Alain Arias-Misson, returned to his birthplace Brussels, which his family had fled during World War II for New York. Back in Brussels the poet initiated his well-known "public poems", which predate the genre performance and are all up to today different from one another and never repeated. For Arias-Misson, the street is the page upon which the poem can be drawn. The city can be construed as a text. It is a focal point of socio-political signs, and its syntax and semantics can be made "legible" by introducing highly graphic, linguistic and non-linguistic clues in the street. Arias-Misson's public poems are always specific to the urban setting, and to the political moment in which they were created. His poems are sometimes presented in dreamlike sequences, often provoking "public disorder" in cities throughout Europe as well as forays into New York and Los Angeles.
