‎ LUC TUYMANS Good Luck SPOTLIGHT SERIES:‎

‎, David Zwirner , 2020 hardcover, dusjacket, 241 x 171 mm, 76 pages, 30 colour illustrations, English edition. ISBN 9781644230336.‎

‎Widely credited with having contributed to the revival of painting in the 1990s, Belgian painter Luc Tuymans continues to expand our understanding of the medium. Sourcing imagery from books, magazines, films, the internet, and increasingly his own iPhone photos, Tuymans's unique selection of subject matter reveals his fascination with moral complexities. Exploring diverse and sensitive topics, many of which include historic references from World War II to more contemporary events such as 9/11, Tuymans presents imagery that at first seems innocuous or approachable but upon deeper inspection can be entirely unsettling. Achieved through his masterful handling of paint, his works are often suggestive of memories or familiar people, places, and things. The latest in the Spotlight Series, which focuses on new bodies of work by contemporary artists, Tuymans continues to take on increasingly complex subject matters in his primarily muted palette. Published on the occasion of the artist's 2020 solo exhibition at David Zwirner Hong Kong, this book features an essay by art critic Su Wei, who approaches Tuymans's newest paintings and how they expand his oeuvre. Luc Tuymans (b. 1958) is known for a distinctive style of painting that demonstrates images' power to simultaneously communicate and withhold. Emerging in the 1980s, Tuymans pioneered a decidedly non-narrative approach to figurative painting, instead exploring how information can be layered and embedded within certain scenes and signifiers. Based on preexisting imagery culled from a variety of sources, his works are rendered in a muted palette that is suggestive of a blurry recollection or a fading memory. Their quiet and restrained appearance, however, belies an underlying moral complexity. They engage equally with questions of history and its representation as they do with quotidian subject matter. Tuymans's canvases, which are typically executed on a large scale, both undermine and reinvent traditional notions of monumentality through their insistence on the ambiguity of meaning. Su Wei is a curator and art critic based in Beijing. He is the senior curator of Inside-Out Art Museum (IOAM), Beijing. His curatorial projects include the 7th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale, China (2012)‎

‎Herman Vanspringel @ Herman Vanspringels Diamond Diamonds For ever.‎

‎, Bij de auteurs, s.d. , 2021 Gebonden, hardcover, 207 pagina's, 25.5x33cm., talrijke ills. in kleur, In nieuwstaat.‎

‎In dit boek Herman Vanspringel @ Herman Vanspringels Diamond, Diamonds For Ever? worden alle belangrijke overwinningen van Monsieur Bordeaux-Paris beschreven. Als supporter was het voor Luc Wuyts de logica zelve om enkel en alleen de succesmomenten van zijn wielerheld te beschrijven. In het boek zijn woordelijk de interviews met Herman weergegeven -met af en toe een sappig woordje Kempens dialect- om zo een beeld te geven hoe de Grobbendonkenaar zijn succesrijke wielercarri re heeft beleefd en hoe hij als mens in elkaar zit. In zijn zeventien profjaren won Herman 136 koersen, de meeste met een duidelijke meerwaarde. Hij haalde het eindpodium van de drie grote ronden, won in zijn topjaar 1968 de Giro di Lombardia zes weken nadat hij in ? Imola vice-wereldkampioen werd. In 1971 werd hij in Martelange kampioen van Belgi .Vanspringel vooral als "monsieur Bordeaux-Paris" opvoeren is hem schromelijk tekort doen. Die mooie zevenledige vlag is nog te klein om de immense lading te dekken. Herman won vooral ook Gent-Wevelgem 1966, de Omloop Het Volk 1968, Paris-Tours 1969, de G.P. des Nations 1969 & 1970, de Trofeo Baracchi 1969, de groene trui in de Tour van 1973, de E3 Harelbeke 1974, ? naast dagzeges in rittenkoersen nu meetellen in de World Tour. Luc van Lin van Sus Kab , is de zoon van Celine Dockx, de oudste dochter van Frans Dockx, in de volksmond Sus Kab genoemd. Moeder en grootvader zijn beiden geboren en getogen in Lille en zo wil Luc Wuyts met zijn pseudoniem de verbondenheid met Kempenaar Herman Vanspringel accentueren. Luc Wuyts is sinds zijn 10 jaar trouw supporter van Herman Vanspringel en werd later als wielerorganisator de geestelijke vader van de Herman Vanspringels Diamond. In die hoedanigheid liet hij in 1999 door Robert Janssens, gerenommeerd wielerjournalist bij Het Laatste Nieuws, een eerste boek over Herman Vanspringel schrijven. Toen Luc Wuyts met de camera?s van ATV het eerste exemplaar van het boek van Robert Janssens kwam overhandigen ten huize Herman Vanspringel, ontsnapte hem de ontgoocheling niet van zijn idool, die een veel groter formaat en een veel luxueuzere uitvoering had verwacht. Dit was voor de auteur de reden waarom er een vierde boek over Herman Vanspringel moest verschijnen. Het tweede gedeelte van het boek schetst de evolutie van de wielersport tussen 1945 en 2030. Luc Wuyts doet dit aan de hand van zijn betrokkenheid met de wielersport sinds 1974 als bestuurslid en latere voorzitter van het Koninklijk Wieler-Sportcomit Kalmthout. De Wisselbeker Herman Vanspringel die in 2002 omgedoopt werd tot Herman Vanspringels Diamond is daarbij een bijzonder item. Deze nieuwelingenwedstrijd werd 25 jaar in Kalmthout georganiseerd om daarna tussen Duffel en Vorselaar zijn verloop te kennen. De intense samenwerking tussen de Duffelse Wielervrienden en Wielercomit Vorselaar bracht de Herman Vanspringels Diamond naar ongekende successen met als motors het enthousiasme en de werkkracht van Jan Vervoort en de stuwende kracht van burgemeester Lieven Janssens. In het boek brengt Mark Uytterhoeven ook nog een schitterend hoofdstuk voor zijn wielerheld zoals alleen Mark Uytterhoeven dit kan.‎

‎Summary Le sac de Constantinople, en 1204, a convaincu des historiens que le monachisme grec ne peut survivre dans un environnement domin par l' l ment latin, Constantinople et ailleurs. L'extension chronologique et g ographique de la domination latine au Moyen ge permet de s'interroger sur la validit du mod le constantinopolitain dans les autres pays gr co-latins et de poser la question du maintien de l'identit monastique grecque apr s 1204. L'int gration d'une multitude de fondations dans une analyse comparative grande chelle temporelle et g ographique met en vidence des volutions et des strat gies communes. Alors que le monachisme grec d'Italie du Sud d cline aux XIIe et XIIIe si cles et que les monast res de Constantinople ne se rel vent pas, le mouvement monastique rena t partout ailleurs et de mani re continue. L'identit institutionnelle des fondations monastiques est aussi maintenue apr s 1204. Une volution est toutefois notable : comme en Occident, les pouvoirs religieux et civils tentent de r duire les pouvoirs des la cs sur les tablissements monastiques. Le projet pontifical de constitution d'une glise libre se manifeste aussi par la volont de faire des clercs des individus lib r s des obligations f odales, ce qui pose probl me pour les Grecs, majoritairement d pendants. Finalement, la tradition monastique est respect e : aucune restriction de statut n'emp che l'entr e en religion des Grecs. La correspondance pontificale d montre que le monachisme grec fait partie de l' glise universelle, sans modifier son identit . La vitalit , notamment conomique, et l'identit du monachisme grec ne sont pas alt r es par la pr sence latine.

‎Democratieen sterven liggend kritiek van de tactische rede‎

‎, Houtekiet, 2014 Paperback 214 pagina's. ISBN 9789089242839.‎

‎Aan het einde van de 18de eeuw stelde Immanuel Kant een aantal pertinente vragen. Wat kunnen we weten? Wat mogen we hopen? Wat kunnen we doen? Na twee eeuwen zijn die actueler dan ooit: wat kunnen we met zekerheid weten, vooral nu de Grote Verhalen van het christendom, het liberalisme, het socialisme en zelfs de democratie hun aantrekkingskracht verloren hebben? Mogen we nog hopen op een andere, betere samenleving, zowel lokaal als internationaal? Anders gezegd: kunnen we nog nieuwe maatschappijmodellen ontwerpen die het beste van de emancipatietraditie bewaren en toch vernieuwend zijn? En zo ja, kan deze vernieuwing voor de eerste keer in de geschiedenis gedragen worden door een meerderheid van gewone burgers? En wat zijn daar de noodzakelijke voorwaarden van? Democratie n sterven liggend begint daarom met een aantal reflecties over de betrouwbaarheid van onze kennis. Daarna pleit Ludo Abicht voor 'een christendom zonder God' en 'een communisme zonder leiders'. Tot slot schetst de auteur een geloofwaardige en haalbare tactiek om een stap naar een ondubbelzinnig democratisch project te zetten.‎

‎Geographies of Sound. Sounding and Listening to the Urban Space of Early Modern Italy with a Contemporary Perspective‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, x + 286 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:34 b/w, Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN 9782503606767.‎

‎Summary Sound is an essential element of human experience. It is part of the complex semiotic system that enables human communities to orient themselves in time and space, to be informed, to participate in social life as conscious listeners, capable of deciphering and giving meaning to the collective action of the urban space in which they live. Deeper sound horizons reverberate at different levels on the sonic dimension of reality, contributing to a more complex semantic process of the collective civic rituality and the construction of institutional and individual sound identities. In order to investigate the urban soundscape, it is important to define the nature of the sound phenomena to be examined, but also the dynamics concerning their perception as part of complex anthropological processes. These perspectives can be considered from a historical point of view. The studies collected in this volume aim to investigate sound as an element of urban space in early modern Italy. They consider different phenomenologies investigated through innovative methodological perspectives. Particular importance is given to the sound of urban rituality, to its declinations and local connotations, to its ability to interact with public and private dimensions, to the social and aesthetic dynamics that regulate it, and to the definition of the sonic identity of early modern urban space.

‎Hemba, master carvers of the Hemba culture in southeastern Congo ‎

‎, 5 Continents, 2017 Hardcover with dusjacket, 144 pages, Texte en Francais, Illustrations en couleurs en noir & blanc nombreuses illustrations dans et hors texte. TEXT ENGLISH/ French, *NEW. ISBN 9788874398034.‎

‎Expressing one of many Luba sub-styles, the tall, standing male figures created by master carvers of the Hemba culture in southeastern Congo since at least the mid-1800s arguably rank among the noblest sculptural depictions of the human figure in sub-Saharan Africa. With their serene gaze and meditative expression, they exude a tranquillity and dignity that befits these idealized likenesses memorializing esteemed leaders of the past. Infused with a life-force or vital energy, these spirit-invested objects were able to communicate between the living and the dead. Thanks to their inner power they had the capacity to impact the material sphere by allowing the ancestors to positively influence the well-being of their surviving relatives. In this publication, through the perceptive lens of art photographer Luigi Spina, we discover nine of the most accomplished Hemba creations whose classical style has triggered comparisons with some kouroi sculptures of ancient Greece. Spina?s photographic interpretations help us understand why these proportionally balanced and symmetrically conceived ancestral figures have earned the admiration of African art lovers around the world. These personal readings of the beloved Hemba commemorative portraits also confirm why these sensitive renderings of the human anatomy deserve inclusion in the universal history of artistic creativity and a place in Andr Malraux?s ?Museum Without Walls.? After a tenure of more than fourteen years at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Constantine (Costa) Petridis joined the Art Institute of Chicago on November 1, 2016, as Curator of African art and Chair of the Department of the Arts of Africa and the Americas. A prolific editor and writer specialized in arts of Central Africa, Petridis most recently also contributed various essays to Frank Herreman?s Mumuye Sculpture from Nigeria: The Human Figure Reinvented, which was published by 5 Continents Editions in 2016. Luigi Spina (b. 1966) is a photographer from Naples. He participated in the ninth International Photography Festival in Rome and at MIAFAIR 2013 with his book-project The Buchner Boxes. With 5 Continents Editions he has published: The Buchner Boxes, The Dancers from the Villa dei Papyri, Memorie del Vaso Blu, Amazzonomachia, and Centauri He began his photographic portrayal of the Farnese collection of Classical sculptures for the Archaeological Museum of Naples in 2002.‎

‎Jacopo Bassano Renaissance Painter of Venetian Country Life‎

‎, Mercatorfonds, 2024 PB+, 280 x 240 mm, 176 pages, 125 colour illustrations, ENG edition. ISBN 9789462303768.‎

‎This publication presents a new perspective on Jacopo Bassano (c. 1515-1592) and the remarkable success of his workshop. Bassano, although widely appreciated in his lifetime, was later overshadowed by the immense fame of the Venetian masters Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese. Located outside the artistic center of Venice, Jacopo Bassano and his sons were able to produce masterpieces of outstanding quality. They achieved widespread popularity in a variety of genres including biblical-pastoral paintings, portraits, and altarpieces. The purpose of this book is to present a fresh insight into the innovative, artistic practices of Jacopo Bassano and his workshop. The volume consists of insightful essays by specialists on Jacopo Bassano, including Luisa Attardi, Alessandro Ballarin, Claudia Caramanna, and Kirsi Eskelinen. Special attention is given to Jacopo Bassano's career in his native town Bassano and his strategies for expanding the activities of his workshop in Venice. Furthermore, the articles highlight his relationship to nature and the Venetian countryside and his pioneering work in depicting the changing light during different times of the day. Through interdisciplinary research on two paintings in the collection of the Sinebrychoff Art Museum, Finnish National Gallery, the book offers a deeper understanding of Jacopo Bassano's working methods and painterly techniques. The book accompanies the exhibition organized by the Sinebrychoff Art Museum / Finnish National Gallery‎

‎A tree. The biggest and oldest living things on Earth are trees. All Live is shaped by a struggle for survival. Competition for nutrients and reproductive success is unceasing. In contrast to animals, which must move around in search of food and mates, the plant kingdom places a premium on patience. At first glance trees appear to embody this vegetative strategy to perfection: they seem to achieve all their goals by standing still. What could be more emblematic of patience than a tree that has been rooted in the same spot for hundreds or even thousands of years, taking all it needs from the air, the sun, and the soil? nAs for competition with other forms of life, a tree seems to operate on the principle that a good defence is the best offence .nIn addition to providing shade and cooling through evaporation, trees filter noise, dust, and chemical pollutants from the air. Curiously enough, one of the greatest benefits that trees can provide for human populations is being realised by extending and improving what todays foresters call the 'urban forest'. This includes all the trees in the city parks as well as all the trees planted along city streets and highways, and trees in peoples yards. The extent of this forest is surprising. About one third of the surface area of the average city is given over to streets and structures‎

‎Summary Public Opinion and Political Contest presents an important historiographical intervention regarding the emergence of larger political publics during the fifteenth century. The study analyses political interaction and public opinion in medieval Europe's largest city through the lens of the only continuous narrative source compiled in Paris during the early fifteenth century, the well-known Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris. Examining one of the most turbulent periods in Paris' history, which witnessed civil conflict and English occupation, the monograph contributes substantially to understandings of late medieval popular opinion conceptually and empirically, revealing Parisian groups bound by shared idioms and assumptions engaging with supralocal movements. Through an assessment of contemporary reactions to official communication, protest in public space, rumour and civic ceremony, the book presents a timely mirror to themes in flux today, addressing historiographical conclusions that have relegated premodern societies from considerations of the public sphere. As a result, this nuanced assessment of the Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris reveals how access to informational media and forums for discussion bound Parisians and framed a wider commentary upon political issues beyond the highest echelons of medieval society.
