‎BOOK TOWER IMAGES. Visualizing Henry van de Velde's Ghent University Library Tower‎

‎, A-S books, 2023 softcover , 270 x 200 mm, 168 pages , 210 colour illustrations, EN edition. ISBN 9789076714691.‎

‎The Ghent University library with its famous "Book Tower" was designed by Henry van de Velde in the 1930s. It re-opened recently after a long restoration process under the supervision of Robbrecht en Daem architecten. Book Tower Images focuses on the rich artistic imagery of the monument. Over the years, leading artists and photographers such as Frans Masereel, Lucien Herv , Candida H fer, and Carl De Keyzer have visualized it abundantly. Jan De Cock, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and others realized installations or dance performances in the building that were documented with the help of photographs and films. Juxtaposing multiple images of the same building, Book Tower Images deals with various models of architectural representation: from typical modernist architectural photographs by Emile Sergysels from the 1940s to recent explorations by Dirk Braeckman, Geert Goiris, Aglaia Konrad, and Walter Vorjohann among many others. Book Tower Images combines architectural photography with a myriad of other artistic and photographic practices such as documentary photography, street photography, fashion shoots, photojournalism, amateur photography, painting, drawing, video, film et cetera - with, of course, the Book Tower as leitmotiv. De Gentse Universiteitsbibliotheek met de beroemde Boekentoren, die door Henry Van de Velde in de jaren 1930 werd ontworpen, werd onlangs heropend na een lange restauratiecampagne. Hoewel de tentoonstelling Beelden van de Boekentoren inspeelt of dit heuglijke feit, schenkt zij niet zozeer aandacht aan het gebouw zelf maar eerder aan de rijke beeldvorming ervan. De bibliotheektoren werd in de loop der jaren immers uitvoerig gevisualiseerd door toonaangevende fotografen zoals Lucien Herv en Candida H fer terwijl kunstenaars als Jan De Cock en Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker er installaties of dansvoorstellingen realiseerden die met behulp van foto's en films werden geregistreerd. Door meerdere beelden van hetzelfde gebouw te confronteren maakt deze expositie een veelvoud aan architecturale representatietechnieken duidelijk: van de typische modernistische architectuurfoto's die Emile Sergysels in de jaren 1930 maakte tot de recente exploraties door Aglaia Konrad. Daarnaast koppelt de expositie architectuurfotografie aan een ruime waaier van andere artistieke en fotografische praktijken zoals documentaire fotografie, street photography, modefotografie, fotojournalistiek, amateurfoto's, schilderkunst, video, et cetera - met, uiteraard, de Boekentoren als rode draad. Met werk van Kristien Daem, Jan De Cock, Walter De Mulder, Carl De Keyzer, Geert Goiris, Lucien Herv , Candida H fer, Jan Kempenaers, Aglaia Konrad, Fran ois Schuiten, Emile Sergysels en vele anderen. Dit project werd gerealiseerd in samenwerking met de Centrale Bibliotheek van de Universiteit Gent en de Archives et Mus es de la litt rature te Brussel en met de genereuze steun van Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne‎

‎Raoul De Keyser: Early Works. Catalogue of Paintings 1964-1980‎

‎, Walter Koenig Verlag , 2024 Hardcover, dusjacket, 256 pages, ca. 800 illustrations color and b/w. Language: English text ISBN 9783753305608.‎

‎This publication was made possible thanks to the generous support of Zeno X Gallery Antwerp, David Zwirner Gallery New York, Barbara Weiss Gallery Berlin, Ghent University Central Library, and the Dekeyser family---Het boek belicht het weinig bestudeerde vroege werk van De Keyser en omvat onder meer een rijk ge llustreerde catalogue raisonn van de schilderijen gemaakt tussen 1964 en 1980. Raoul De Keyser (1930-2012) start met schilderen als jongeman in de jaren 1940. Al in de vroege jaren 1950 breekt hij zijn artistieke loopbaan af voor een job als ambtenaar en journalist. Pas in 1964 manifesteert hij zich opnieuw als kunstenaar met werken die aanvankelijk de nieuwe trends in de figuratieve schilderkunst (Pop Art, nouveau r alisme) oproepen, terwijl ze later aansluiten bij het Amerikaans modernisme (Colorfield Painting, Post-Painterly Abstraction, Hard Edge). In de jaren 1970 vertoont De Keysers werk sterke overeenkomsten met zowel de Minimal Art als de Fundamentele schilderkunst. De tentoonstelling in VANDENHOVE focust op deze vroege periode in De Keysers werk en bestaat uit een twintigtal schilderijen die nooit eerder werden ge xposeerd of die niet meer werden getoond sinds de jaren 1960 en '70. Naast enkele jeugdwerken omvat de expositie een uitzonderlijke selectie schilderwerken uit priv -collecties, van werken uit de jaren 1960 die representatief zijn voor de zogenaamde Nieuwe Visie tot gelaagde schilderijen uit de jaren 1970. Zij vertonen de vertrouwde landschappen, kamers, krijtlijnen, tenten en wolken, soms in verrassende kleuren die afwijken van zijn meer bekende werken. Sommige schilderijen lijken bovendien bepaalde thema's of gevoeligheden aan te kondigen die later in zijn loopbaan verder werden uitgewerkt. Samen tonen ze een traject doorheen de motieven, variaties, hernemingen en overschilderingen die het hele oeuvre van De Keyser tekenen. Naast deze nooit of zelden getoonde werken, omvat de tentoonstelling stukken uit het archief van Raoul De Keyser, dat deel uitmaakt van de collectie van de Centrale Bibliotheek van de Universiteit Gent. Installatiezichten, posters, folders, schetsen en aantekeningen (waarvan vele nooit eerder werden gepubliceerd) werpen een nieuw licht op De Keysers vroege artistieke ontwikkelingen, met aandacht voor onder meer zijn activiteiten als sportjournalist en kunstcriticus, zijn connecties met Nederlandse musea en galeries, zijn affiniteiten met grafische vormgeving, zijn atelier als tentoonstellingsruimte en zijn niet aflatende belangstelling voor het 'object-karakter' van zijn schilderijen. De expositie Lang niet gezien: Raoul De Keyser 1946-1964-1980 grijpt plaats ter gelegenheid van het verschijnen van twee publicaties over de jonge De Keyser [EN] A leading exponent of European painting from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, Belgian artist Raoul De Keyser (1930-2012) started his career much earlier. This book focuses on De Keyser ?Ts hitherto understudied early works, including a catalogue raisonné of the paintings made between 1964 and 1980. De Keyser started painting in the 1940s but aborted his artistic career in the early 1950s, becoming a civil servant and journalist. Only in 1964, he took up painting again with works blending the in ,uence of Raveel, Dine, Held, and Noland. Soon, he developed his own idiom, evolving into a more subdued and abstract style in the 1970s. Based on extensive archival research, this book contains a wealth of artworks, photographs, posters, and documents that never have been published before.‎

‎Post, ex, Sub and dis - these are but a few of the prefixes that have been used to compose neologisms for describing the contemporary cityscape in Western Europe and North America. Terms such as posturban space, postsuburbia, exurbia, exopolis, suburban downtown, and disrubia are part of a dizzying collection of often hotly contested labels. The plethora of neologisms demonstrates how difficult it has become to name, map and analyze contemporary cityscape. To many observers, urban evironments and urban society have come to evince a radically chaotic and fragmented structure. This book explores how in recent decades the notion of fragmentation - a mainstay already of reflextions on ruban modernity - has acquired new meanings and how, within the current decentralized and centrifugal context, the urban landscape is constantly being deconstructed and reconstructed, both materially and discursively. Richly illustrated with work by artists and photographers who have visualized various new kinds of urban fragmentation, the volume brings toghether a series of essays on spatial, social, and cultural issues written by distinguished scholars and practioners from unusual variety of disciplines. It wil be especially usefull to students of urban planning, architecture, sociology, literature and the arts.‎

‎Science in the Monastery. Texts, Manuscripts and Learning at Saint-Bertin‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 352 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:15 col., 6 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503585635.‎

‎Summary The traditional view of monastic orders in late-medieval scholastic culture has been relatively muted. Beyond the Franciscan and Dominican orders, and to a far lesser extent, the Augustinians and Cistercians, the older monastic orders (and especially the Benedictines) played a smaller role in the university during the thirteenth through the fifteenth centuries. Yet if the library collection of Saint-Bertin is examined more carefully, one finds that many of the books were added by alumni of the University of Paris and Louvain, and in one instance, Cologne, and that as a whole, the monastery's collection reflected the changing currents within late medieval intellectual society. Science in the Monastery proposes to analyze Benedictine science using Saint-Bertin as a vehicle.

‎Dismantling the Medieval. Early Modern Perceptions of a Female Convent's Past‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 247 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 14 col., 2 tables col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503593470.‎

‎Summary Dismantling the Medieval studies the paradoxical relationship of the early modern canonesses of Bouxi res with the medieval past of their institution. While various documentary, material, spatial, and immaterial legacies of that past remained a crucial presence in the convent's narrative of self, the canonesses also used and manipulated them to pursue and justify drastic changes in their organization and lifestyle. Thanks to an unusually rich and varied body of evidence, we are able to reconstruct in unprecedented detail this elite convent's highly flexible memory culture over a period of more than two centuries. Guiding the reader back through time, the book gradually reveals how and why the canonesses' connection to the medieval past lived on throughout many crises and transformations, including even the abbey's dissolution in 1971.

‎Judith of West Francia, Carolingian Princess and First Countess of Flanders. Biographical Elements and Legacy‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 254 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:22 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503604619.‎

‎Summary Judith of West Francia is one of the most enigmatic of Charlemagne's early descendants. The daughter of the king of West Francia and future emperor Charles the Bald and his wife Ermentrude, she was one of only a handful of Carolingian princesses who were destined for marriage. Over the course of her teenage years she married two successive kings of Wessex, became the first consecrated queen of England, was widowed twice, returned to Francia with an immense dowry, and sparked a major diplomatic incident when she eloped with a nobleman from Flanders called Baldwin. Eventually she married Baldwin in early 864, and together they established the dynasty of the counts of Flanders. In doing so the couple laid the groundwork for what would become one of the mightiest and most prestigious territorial principalities in north-western Europe in the tenth and eleventh centuries. But even in the tenth century, exceedingly few written memories of Judith's life survived. This explains why she was never the subject of a biography in the medieval or early modern eras, and why scholarship's understanding of her life and legacy remains highly fragmented. This volume sets the record straight, offering an accessible and interdisciplinary discussion of all relevant and documented aspects of Judith's life and legacy.

‎Anton Henning: Great Hits.‎

‎Antwerpen , Tim Van Laere Books, 2014, 2014 Gebonden, Hardcover,48 pagina's, Nederlands/Engels.‎

‎Anton Henning, born in Berlin in 1964, whose artistic career since the mid-eighties has taken him to Berlin, London and New York. The self-educated Anton Henning paints, photographs, films, sculpts, draws, makes music, designs and builds whole rooms. He virtually challenges the risk of provoking misunderstandings and polarising them without directly addressing the political side. In the figurative sense he is dismantling the entire history of art up to the present day, in order to completely reconstruct it. A kind of artistic synthesis. In his first exhibition at the Tim van Laere Gallery, which is also his first individual exhibition in Belgium since his much acclaimed exhibition at SMAK in 2007, Anton Henning tries to define the highly subjective oscillating approach, between distinct conceptualism and pure intuition, in an exhibition with an impressively broad spectrum. Anton Henning?s art combines long-time prejudged antipodes with the same naturalness, it knows how to seduce contemporary excellent gastronomy with the present day. Anton Henning is a master of good and bad taste, ruthless (self) irony, humorous ambiguity and virtually loving precision and this is in all lightness and virtuosity.‎
