‎David Claerbout is bekend om zijn video-installaties die hij wereldwijd tentoonstelt. Sinds zijn eerste videowerken midden jaren negentig won zijn werk snel aan complexiteit. De virtuele fotografie deed zijn werk en denken evolueren naar een verregaande synthetische beeldpraktijk die hem op het voorplan van de nieuwe mediakunst heeft geplaatst. Van daaruit ontwikkelde Claerbout een kritiek over de impact van de desintegratie van het vertrouwde fotografische beeld op het niveau van de waarneming en de (zintuiglijke) cognitie en de verregaande sociale en politieke gevolgen. Deze rijk geïllustreerde publicatie presenteert een selectie van werken van de afgelopen tien jaar. In een interview met Jonathan Pouthier, filmcurator voor het Centre Pompidou in Parijs, spreekt David Claerbout voor het eerst in de diepte over deze werken in relatie tot actuele discussies over fotografie, film en het virtuele. De publicatie valt samen met de Biënnale van Venetië 2022 en solotentoonstellingen in onder meer München, Berlijn, Boedapest en New York. //// Long-awaited monumental monograph on the work of David Claerbout In a conversation with Jonathan Pouthier, curator of the cinema programme of the Musée National d?Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), video artist David Claerbout reflects for the first time in depth on his work of the past decade in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual.

The publication coincides with the Venice Biennale 2022 and solo exhibitions in various cities including Munich, Berlin, Budapest and New York. //// David Claerbout is known for his video installations, which he exhibits worldwide. From the time of his first video works in the mid-1990s, his work rapidly gained in complexity. Virtual photography pushed his work and thinking towards a far-reaching synthetic visual practice that placed him at the forefront of the new media art. From that position, Claerbout developed a critique of the impact of the disintegration of the familiar photographic image at the level of perception and (sensory) cognition and its profound social and political consequences. This richly illustrated publication presents a selection of works from the past ten years. In an interview with Jonathan Pouthier, film curator at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, David Claerbout speaks in depth for the first time about these works in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual.

‎LUCIAN FREUD De zelfportretten‎

‎, Tijdsbeeld-Piece Montée, 2019 Gebonden, Hardcover 260 x 230 mm, 160 pages, 130 colour illustrations Nederlandstalige uitgave . ISBN 9789490880255.‎

‎ALLE zelfportretten van Lucian Freud nu in één boek verzameld. In 1964 gaf Lucian Freud (1922-2011) zijn studenten aan het Norwich College of Art een opdracht: om naakte zelfportretten te schilderen die 'onthullend, sprekend, geloofwaardig ... echt zonder schaamte' waren. Het was een advies dat de kunstenaar zelf later ook zou volgen in zijn vele zelfportretten. Rauw, onversaagd en vaak naakt lezen Freuds zelfportretten als het ware als zijn biografie, en geven zij tegelijk inzicht in de ontwikkeling van zijn stijl als schilder. In de portetten is de kunstenaar steeds overweldigend aanwezig, of hij nu de rechtstreeks de confrontatie met de toeschouwer aangaat, of alleen aanwezig is als een schaduw of in een reflectie. Freud verkende het genre van het zelfportret op tal van onverwachte manieren. Autoriteiten op het gebied van Freuds leven en werk - kunsthistorici én mensen die hem persoonlijk hebben gekend - verkennen Freuds oeuvre en analyseren het belang van zijn zelfportretten. Een gesprek tussen kunsthistoricus Jasper Sharp en de actrice Tilda Swinton gaat in op de intensiteit waarmee Freud het menselijk lichaam bestudeerde - een intensiteit waarvan Swinton een bevoorrecht getuige was, maar die evenzeer gold wanneer Freud zijn eigen lichaam bestudeerde en op doek zette. David Dawson is een schilder en fotograaf en Freuds voormalige studio-assistent. Joseph Koerner is Victor S. Thomas hoogleraar kunst en architectuur aan de universiteit van Harvard. Jasper Sharp is adjunct-curator voor moderne en hedendaagse kunst in het Kunsthistorisches Museum in Wenen. Pulitzer Prize-winnaar en kunstcriticus Sebastian Smee is auteur van The Art of Rivalry: Four Friendships, Betrayals and Throughthroughs in Modern Art (2016). Tilda Swinton is een Oscar-winnende actrice, model en kunstenares.

‎From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin. Hagiographic Exegesis and Collective Memory in the Early Medieval Cults of Omer and Bertin‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xiii + 340 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:3 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442192.‎

‎Summary Medieval historians who have explored the abbey of Sithiu (modern Saint-Omer) have often done so to explain the competition between the canons of Saint-Omer and the monks of Saint-Bertin, a rivalry deriving from their shared origins in the abbey of Sithiu. However, David Defries's book centers on the cooperative relationship that developed between the saints Omer and Bertin in the monks' collective memory. Throughout the early Middle Ages, the cults of the abbey's two patron saints shaped the life of the community at Sithiu, and the first four centuries of its development reveal how a group of monks negotiated their place in the larger Christian West, adapting Columbanian and Benedictine identities to fit the relationship they discerned between Omer and Bertin. The evolution of Sithiu's collective memory demonstrates that the methods used in most studies of early medieval collective memory produce a distorted image of the partnership. Historians overwhelmingly assume that collective memory has a narrative structure and that the texts meant to shape its evolution are "historiographic" in form. In contrast, David Defries treats Sithiu's historiography as a type of scriptural exegesis that emphasizes the allegorical levels, especially typology and tropology, of the Christian scriptural hermeneutic. Paradigm, not narration, structured early medieval Christian allegory and thus early medieval collective memory at the abbey. This argument has broad implications for the study of early medieval collective memory. The intellectual culture of Sithiu was typical of the early medieval West, and all the texts considered date between c. 740 and c. 1148, situating them in a period when writers trained in monasteries like Sithiu produced the vast majority of western European literature. From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin may thus be seen as a preliminary case study for the value of paradigmatic approaches to early medieval memory.‎

‎Summary Le lettere del medico fiorentino Alessandro Pini (1653-1717) e il suo trattato De moribus Turcarum fanno emergere un'immagine avvincente del popolo egiziano e della cultura ottomana. Ciò che Pini ha osservato in Egitto e nel mondo ottomano rivela una straordinaria dimensione mediterranea di commistione culturale, fatta di scambi e di incontri scaturiti dalle necessità lavorative e anche dalla semplice quotidianità. Oltre alla missione scientifica ufficiale egli doveva svolgere un'intrigante attività spionistica per Cosimo III, Granduca di Toscana, in cui si rivelò poi fallimentare. Amareggiato e osteggiato per l'insuccesso, passò poi alle dipendenze della Repubblica di Venezia e dimorò per vari anni a Istanbul e in Morea, dove senza pregiudizi e con ampiezza di vedute osservò le tradizioni e i costumi dei popoli che incontrava. Decise dunque consapevolmente di scrivere l'esaltazione di un mondo che l'Occidente vedeva come il suo alter ego negativo. Sebbene fosse stato imprigionato nella sua società di adozione, Pini rimase affascinato, forse anche ipnotizzato, da quello stesso mondo che lo aveva variamente premiato e frustrato sia nel suo lavoro ufficiale che nel suo incarico segreto.

‎Rampen, misdaden en ongelukken in Aalst op het einde van de 19e eeuw. Waarlijk dat gaat te verre is een Aalsterse geschiedkundige vereniging, opgericht door de auteurs met als doel de geschiedenis te laten beleven. Dit boek neemt je mee naar Aalst in de laatste decennia van de 19e eeuw (1875?1899). Op basis van honderden processen-verbaal van politie, waarin herbergen en herbergiers steeds een rol speelden, tonen we de rauwe werkelijkheid van arbeiders en hun gezinnen; verteld door slachtoffers, daders en getuigen, elk met hun eigen verhaal naar waarheid of leugen. Het was de tijd van de Belle Époque: vooruitgang en optimisme, maar ook uitbuiting en armoede. Fabrieksarbeiders zwoegden zes dagen op zeven, twaalf uur per dag, voor een hongerloon. Kinderen werden ingezet als goedkope werkkrachten en grote gezinnen leefden in kleine werkmanshuisjes, vaak in benauwde beluiken. Op vrijdagavond zochten velen hun toevlucht in cafés en danskoten, waar plezier vaak omsloeg in dronkenschap, ruzie en geweld. Waarlijk dat Gaat te Verre vertelt hun verhaal: van agressie en vechtpartijen tot diefstallen en wanhoop, maar ook van de sociale en politieke spanningen die Aalst blijvend hebben gekleurd.‎

‎Reception of Biblical Figures. Essays in Method‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 312 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 8 col., Language(s):English, French. ISBN 9782503600765.‎

‎Summary This volume explores the reception of biblical figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a particular focus on Antiquity and incursions in the Middle Ages and modernity. The contributions included here offer a glimpse of the complexity of the mechanics of transmission to which these figures were subjected in extra-biblical texts, either concentrating on one author or corpus in particular, or broadening the scope across time and cultural contexts. The volume intends to shed light on how these biblical figures and their legacies appear as channels of collective memory and identity; how they became tools for authors to achieve specific goals; how they gained new and powerful authority for communities; and how they transcend traditions and cultural boundaries. As a result, the vitality and fluidity of the developments of traditions become clear and prompt caution when using modern categories.

‎David Hockney: Normandy Portraits accompanies a major exhibition on David Hockney at the National Portrait Gallery, London. It reveals new portraits painted in Hockney's Normandy Studio between 2020 and 2022. David Hockney: Normandy Portraits illustrates around 40 acrylic on canvas works painted by Hockney at his Normandy studio - depicting his friends and visitors, as well as the artist himself. This image-led book product will showcase a series of some previously unseen portraits, through 48 pages, uninterrupted by text, to allow readers to engage directly with the artworks. These works highlight the ongoing importance of portraiture within the artist's practice and demonstrate his sentiment that 'drawings and paintings . are a lot better than photographs to give you a sense of the person'. Hockney returned to painting after an intensive period spent depicting the Normandy landscape using an iPad. The portraits were painted quickly and directly onto the canvas without under drawing. As Hockney has said 'to do a portrait slowly is a bit of a contradiction'.‎

‎Summary «Music in the Disruptive Era» contains fifteen essays assessing the impact of today's revolutionary digital technologies on the ways audiences and industry professionals perceive, compose, consume, research, and communicate about music. After an initial assessment of ?the Disruptive Era? in a series of six snapshots offering a summary and review of some of the technological challenges (and opportunities) confronting both music producers and consumers, a group of international scholars considers the impact of the digital era in three major areas. First, there is the revolution in data storage and retrieval, with online archives and other digital resources making an unprecedented volume and diversity of information available to scholars and researchers for the first time ? all from the convenience of a home desktop. Second, three essays assess some of the myriad ways in which composers and music industry professionals have been influenced by the potentialities and discontinuities of the current age to find creative inspiration, attract new audiences, and reimagine traditional musical idioms. Finally, on the cutting edge of the digital divide, scholarly contributors examine two of the countless new genres birthed by the advent of the latest technological innovations: specifically, the ?meme? and the ?video loop.?

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, 2 vols, 1000 p., 178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:32 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English. *New . ISBN 9782503607153.‎

‎Throughout the Middles Ages and the early modern period, Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus, c. 100-170 A.D.) was considered the foremost authority in mathematical astronomy and in astrology in all societies that inherited Greek learning, including the Islamic world and Latin Europe. The history of the Ptolemaic tradition in these civilisations, however, has never been systematically researched. This book offers the first complete treatment for the Latin world. It includes a full survey of the Ptolemaic works (original works in translation, pseudepigrapha and commentaries), together with a catalogue of 693 manuscripts and 104 early printed editions (up to 1700 A.D.) of these works. This essential volume contains nothing less than the ultimate bibliographical and codicological survey of the entire Latin Ptolemaic tradition on astronomy and astrology up to AD 1700, in all its sprawling and oftentimes surprising detail. The end result is a monument of unrivalled erudition that breaks new ground on a page-by-page basis. It effectively puts contemporary research on the history of astronomy and astrology on a completely new foundation and is destined to remain the go-to resource in this area for many decades, if not centuries, to come (C. Philipp E. Nothaft)‎

‎J. Samuel White & Company was the oldest firm on the Admiralty List and built 252 ships for the Royal Navy alone. The yard's closure in 1966 ended 300 years of shipbuilding during which time the company had gained acclaim from mercantile and naval customers alike. Famed early on for fast Revenue cutters and naval brigs, in its final years Royal Navy destroyers earned it great distinction. Highly innovative, it developed and patented many pioneering products while other innovations included semi-diesel engines, heat exchangers, air conditioners and compressors, besides a range of marine thruster units. Not only did the company build ships and boats but it also constructed a range of marine aircraft. During the First World War, White's production accounted for 100 ships, including twenty-seven destroyers, and 201 seaplanes. Production during the Second World War added up to 317 ships, among them twenty-six destroyers and a large minelayer. Illustrated with photographs of these and many of the company's other products, this book tells the story of J. Samuel White and its subsidiary concerns, a business built on a reputation of quality which earned it the slogan: White's-built - well-built! .‎

‎Summary The medieval courtly lyric, the site for the first extended literary exercises in Occitan, French, Italian and German, is one of the foundations of how we think about European literature. Since the nineteenth century it has in many accounts underpinned a system of linguistically-informed national traditions. David Murray shows in 'Poetry in Motion' how categorizing poetry under headings like 'French' or 'Italian' poetry can obscure the thinking of medieval poets and scribes about what constituted a language. Rather than existing within a series of rigidly distinct linguistic systems, Murray demonstrates that song moved in a fluid environment where linguistic boundaries could be easily crossed. Aided by its melody, metrical form or quotation in a larger text, a song could travel and elicit meaningful reactions and interactions far from 'home'. Combining literary studies with philology, manuscript studies and musicology, 'Poetry in Motion' shows the truly European reach of song in the Middle Ages.
