‎Gaston De Mey Monografie.‎

‎, Stichting Kunstboek, 2025 Hardback, 208 pages, Dimensions 300 x 240 mm, Language(s) Dutch (NL) ed. Illustrated. ISBN 9789058567208.‎

‎Gaston De Mey (1933-2015) volgde van 1952 tot 1963 les aan de Kunstacademie in Eeklo. Vanaf 1968 koos hij ervoor om zijn kunstwerken op te bouwen met lettertekens en deze te groeperen in letterbanen en letterstructuren. In zijn werk verviel de leesbare taal - zoals bij de deconstructie in de filosofie - in een essenti lere maar onleesbare ordening van lettertekens in diverse geometrische vormen en formaten. Een selectie van zijn omvangrijk oeuvre werd gebundeld in een aantrekkelijk kijkboek.‎

‎Stijn Van Dorpe a Bookcase‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 15, 2015 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 32 pages, NL edition, Illustrated. ISBN 9789491262159.‎

‎Stijn Van Dorpe (b. 1970) got the idea for the work A Bookcase while assembling three bookcases at home and at the same time listening to music. He found it interesting that the music had no influence on the ultimate form of the assembled bookcase. With this premise established, he invited students of a vocational school for woodworking to take part in a performance during a residency at Hotel Charleroi. Van Dorpe asked them to assemble a bookcase in an old shopping arcade in Charleroi, while a rap group performed alongside them. A film of this performance was shown at the exhibition in Aalst. At the exhibition, the artist first provides an explanation of the images in the form of subtitles on a black screen. Then the filmed performance is shown. In the projection space, there is also a wooden panel with photos of the performance mounted on it. During the exhibition at Netwerk Aalst, the performance was also repeated, again with local rappers and students from a vocational school. All that remains of this performance is the bookcase in the corridor of the arts centre. Van Dorpe's explanation of the film shows his fascination for the difference between, on the one hand, the rappers who give their creativity free rein and, on the other hand, the mechanical, repetitive actions involved in assembling the bookcase: the difference between art and work, between 'a music concert that is seen by the rappers as a stand against a normative society' and, by contrast, the manufacture of a mass-market product within a capitalist system. From: 'Mechanical labour - creative labour' Sarah K senne, in: a Bookcase.‎

‎Rene Magritte: Newly Discovered Works. Oil Paintings, Gouaches, Drawings. Catalogue Raisonne VI.‎

‎, mercatorfonds, 2012 Hardcover with dust-jacket, Pages: 160, Format: 32.5 x 24.5 cm .Beautiful reproductions and extensive documentation of 130 previously unpublished and newly attributed works of Rene Magritte..English ISBN 978 90 6153 989 6 ISBN 9789061539896.‎

‎Rene Magritte (18981967) was a surrealist artist whose thought-provoking works used ordinary objects to challenge how viewers perceived reality. His extensive oeuvre was documented in a comprehensive five-volume project, led by distinguished art critic and writer David Sylvester. In the years that followed the publication of the final volume in 1997, numerous works purporting to be by Magritte appeared on the art market. Under the auspices of the Fondation Magritte, a committee was established to verify the authenticity of newly discovered works as well as those previously recorded as whereabouts unknown or listed as appendix items in the original volumes of the Rene Magritte Catalogue Raisonne.Designed as an art book, Rene Magritte: Newly Discovered Works includes color illustrations of 130 previously unpublished or unknown works authenticated by the committee between September 2000 and March 2010. Like its predecessors, this volume is the culmination of years of research, which synthesizes new discoveries about the artworks and details of the life of Magritte himself. Accompanying text and comparative documentation provide a wealth of complementary information, including the circumstances of a works discovery, references to letters, quotations in their original languages, and citations from previous volumes.‎

‎This book charts the evolution of Peter Paul Rubens's style from 1608 until 1620 and his rise from relative anonymity to celebrity. In 1600, Peter Paul Rubens left his home in Antwerp to travel to Italy and study the Italian masters. Eight years later, he returned to Belgium and quickly established himself as one of the foremost painters in Western Europe. This book explores Rubens's work from 1608 until 1620 and how, acutely aware of the possibilities for commercial success, he rose to fame by establishing a "brand" and promoting himself. He created multiple versions of paintings with subjects that had proven to be successful, used similar subject matter of famous artists in the past, and sought collaborators to create more ambitious works than he could have done alone. He also created a studio and workshop with numerous students and assistants, the most famous being Anthony van Dyck who frequently collaborated with Rubens. Through paintings, drawings, and prints, this book shows how a desire for commercial success influenced and changed Rubens's artistic style. Essays delve into Italy's effect on Rubens, on the narrative aspect of his paintings, and how he managed commissions from famous patrons. Filled with new insights on the most fruitful phase of Rubens's career, this book offers a refreshing look at one of the most influential Baroque artists‎

‎ARROWS OF THOUGHT Mich le Matyn‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 07, 2014 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 16 pages, EN-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262074.‎

‎Many projects serve as licenses for adventurous travels and rambles through the most desolate of places in extreme circumstances. Mich le Matyn (b. 1978) uses her camera in a very intense and personal experience of the landscape, and in a fashion highly contrasting to the usual documentary approach of distance and objectivity. Her sensitivity for nature is stimulated by a research in age-old folk tales en customs, anthropological myths and sagas, but also popular comics and films about the narrow, supposed boundaries between man and animal, between human and demon. These animistic thoughts, folktales, and charged places are triggers for Mich le Matyn's travels. She uses traveling as an atelier. The way of dealing with her surroundings can be read as 'participative observation'. It connects Matyn's photography to her performances. "To become a beast To wander loose To buy a leash To seek a tamer To get stuck on thoughts To get caught To go feral To breed mistakes To seek a tamer To speak to no one To seek a tamer To withold no one To seek a tamer To leave no stone unturned To seek a tamer To ignore every opposition For centuries the master For centuries the beast" From: 'Arrows of Thought' Saskia De Coster ‎
