In the past years Sam Dillemans has painted some 300 portraits, mostly of influential writers, but also of scientists, composers and singers. In his typical dynamic and fluent style Dillemans completed the 300 portraits almost in one go. Most of the portraits are painted in black and white with smooth, volatile lines; others are touched up with some rare subtle brushstrokes in colour. Whether the subject is recognizable or not depends on the viewer and on how much the artists is prepared to divulge in his impressive paintings. Once more Dillemans has chosen to present an impressive series that centres on human beings, their faces and expressions. Some models are recognizable almost immediately, while others require an effort of the viewer. The result is a series of sometimes alarming portraits that compel us to observe intensely, explore the concept of portraiture and admire the smart faces Dillemans has gathered in these paintings in his typical style. On the occasion of the exhibition that opens on 19 April in the Castle of Gaasbeek, the paintings of the series Authors have been collected in the book with the same name, which is published on the opening day of the exhibition by MER.

SUMMER 2013

The sculptural work of Berlinde De Bruyckere, representing Belgium in the 2013 Venice Biennale, imperiously demands a response from whoever faces it. This explains why literary authors in particular are so attracted to her compositions of distorted parts of humans and horses, testimony to terror and solace, cruel death and the sublime. She empties the bodies: through the holes the spectator sees the dark interior, at once repulsive and alluring. In the spaces of resonance carved out by De Bruyckere, writers can practise their crafts of creation, not by writing about the objects, but by placing creative texts next to them. The writer does not appropriate any of the artwork’s meanings by explaining it, but rather adds significance by answering art with art. Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee accepts this challenge. In concert with the author, De Bruyckere selected fragments bespeaking exceptional beauty from his impassioned and unsettling novels. This way both artists craft a five-part composition of image and word, which illuminates the dark world of their works from the inside out.

S.M.A.K. presents the first major retrospective of the Belgian video artist Koen Theys (°1963, Brussels). Theys was one of the founding fathers of the Belgian video art scene since the early eighties and stood at the cradle of the discourse around video art in Belgium and by extension throughout Europe. In his work Theys combines a thorough substantive and formal research on video art as a medium, with a very expressive – referring to a baroque aesthetic – imagery, often combined with references to the European and Belgian cultural and political history. The work of Theys was collected early by MOMA (New York) and Centre Pompidou (Paris). The book will survey his monumental videoand photography-based works from the early 80s until now.

CRIME 01 Chris Dercon: ‘Crime 01’ was your first work, wasn’t it? Koen Theys: Or at least what I think of as my first official work. I was fascinated by two amateur ‘pastoral’ films of Adolf Hitler: one of him with his German shepherd dog Blondi on the terrace of the Eagle’s Nest at Berchtensgaden, and another film showing Eva Braun bathing naked at a waterfall. I used them as the starting point for a couple of videos, and later on they provided the basis for lots of other works. KT The tape has been called ‘the snuff film of video art’ because of the brutal black and white film style. As I wore a Disney dog mask during the performance, it is seen as having an affinity with the performances of Paul McCarthy – who I didn’t yet know. Some have compared the action to the work of Hermann Nitsch, but for me ‘Crime 01’ had nothing to do with Nitsch’s purification rituals. The video shows a baby lying between two dogs’ heads, which could be seen as new life after death or after a sacrificial act, because the baby is lying there like a Christmas child between Joseph and Mary. But for me it CD Why the title ‘Crime 01’? was more about the suggestion – like at the end of a horror film – that after the death of the KT At the time I was squatting in an empty property monster, evil could return like a cyclical process. with a few other students from the art academy in Ghent.

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.

Paper Kunsthalle, the Cylinder series, is not a real comic book series, but the idea is based on the structure of it. It fits perfectly to get Van de Moortel’s work published. The sketches, the colouring, the humour that feels close to the practice: it’s a work in itself and not just a representation of images. The artist prints one new Cylinder issue on the occasion of each new project or exhibition. Each cahier has a unique design and cover. Each will be published separately at first; becoming one book after 10 editions that will be published as a whole. Every edition is a new adventure having the same basic players, added, transformed. It’s one big playground: like a show. This is the third volume in the Cylinder series.

SUMMER 2013

With Book #1 L01 2018 Erki De Vries and Pieter Huybrechts present the first result of their enquiry into the spatial potential of a book. In line with their earlier work that focused on spatiality considered from installation art and photography, in Book #1 the two artists explore an extra layer by integrating the medium art book. Can the architectural use of this art form possibly result in new images and experiences? Starting from an in situ installation that literally positions the environment, scale model and photography on a single line, the transformation into an art book creates a particularly hybrid experience of space. Immaterial trompe l’oeils and the material dimensions of the book are literally built on top of each other. Virtual images, the essence of architectural elements and type page fade into each other as a material montage on the interface of film, photography and mental architecture.

Lara Mennes has photographed three empty buildings. Her photographs raise questions about the meaning of these ruins and what they stand for today. The naked architecture, forgotten objects, … The photographs show what remains and therefore also that which is absent, which people thought was important enough to take with them. Her photographs focus on often small, insignificant things, traces of human activity, which draw Mennes’ attention because of what they suggest. Footprints on dusty floors, worn tiles, curled photographs, solitary posters on the wall… Every inhabitant of each building has added multiple layers of meaning, all of them now silent witnesses of bygone times. Like windows on the past, they take us back through time, back to the moment the building was constructed. Mennes’ photographs are still lifes in which objects transcend their physical appearance: they become expressions of memories.

The artist Julião Sarmento grew up with a somewhat complicated background. This book is a testimony to his ‘real’ biological family and his ‘other’ foster family. The first part of the book; ‘Bloodline’, has all the photographs the artist could find of his biological family up to his birth, they show persons he often doesn’t feel connected to or hardly knows. ‘Heartline’ has all the photographs he could find of the two people in his foster family. They are close to his heart, far from his blood. The book is signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of 250 copies.

The solo exhibition Three by Three with works by the Hungarian artist Gábor Ősz (born 1962, lives and works in Amsterdam) presents a comprehensive and varied overview of the artist’s oeuvre. The space in Network provides the artist with the opportunity to display a balanced selection of existing photographic works and films from the last decade, as well as a monumental screening of his new work Das Fenster (The Window). What underlies Ősz’ work, is a fascination with observing reality and the relationship between humans and the space that surrounds them. By using analogue photographic techniques such as the camera obscura and the pinhole technique, the artist creates composed and aesthetically sharp, distinct photographs. A recurring element is a reflection on the instant the image originates and is perceived as such. In his most recent films Ősz uses the self-referential aspect of the film process as his point of departure: how do images originate and how do they generate each other.

SUMMER 2013

The book ik wordt runs parallel to the exhibition of the same title— it is as such not a record of the exhibition—the book exists as exhibition. The title ik wordt (I become) refers to the drawing of the same title by Johan De Wilde and to the request he addressed at 300 people to take part in a solo exhibition by associating something with one or several of his works. All texts and images, and an equal number of fragments from the Sistine Chapel ceiling fresco—a reference to an in situ work by the artist—are depicted in the book in their mutual relationship. One of the questions the artist raises, is how the work of art (and therefore also the artist) relate as form and contents to the outside world, including when it is not being looked at (at nighttime, or when the museum is closed, or when the work is stored away in the museum depot). Another issue entails a critical approach to the viewer’s participation. According to De Wilde, art only exists if it is created all over again. The artist thus argues in favour of the museum and real commitment.

Wie het eerste deel van het boek bekijkt, zal merken dat Robert Devriendt zijn reeksen minischilderijen ziet als scènes van een groot verhaal, als verschillende hoofdstukken van een roman of film. De schilder schort in die reeksen het lineaire tijdsverloop op, zoomt in op geheimzinnige details (een supermooie auto, de ‘perfecte’ blonde vrouw, een bos, een taxidermist, een bebloed T-shirt …), alludeert op oude schilderijen, tv-beelden, reclamefoto’s, films, populaire bladen … Er zijn wellicht verbanden, maar welke? Er is een scenario, maar waarvan? Wat er zeker is: de zorgvuldige aandacht en de sensuele liefde voor het schilderen, het strelen van de huid van het doek, dat hunkert naar een creatieve waarnemer. In het tweede deel van het boek bewegen zestien Nederlands talige dichters en prozaschrijvers zich spiegelend in het intieme spanningsveld tussen de beeldengroepen, ze construeren zélf een film. De film van Robert Devriendt, die bij de aftiteling alweer verdwijnt, tot alleen een uitgezuiverde leegte overblijft, een enigmatische ervaring van wat rest.

Ilse D’Hollander was born in 1968 in Sint-Niklaas and died in 1997. The painter, who stepped out of life aged 29, left us an impressive oeuvre, characterized by a soft abstraction that is often referred to as lyrical. The quiet and lyricism of her paintings and drawings contrast sharply with her tormented soul. D’Hollander’s paintings catch the eye because of the accurate horizontal and vertical strips: rigid or by contrast smooth lines the artist applied with either brush or fingers. There is something vague or faded about her palette, yet at the same time it is strong and sharp, as if the colours and surfaces raise themselves above the canvas. It is as if for D’Hollander painting created a series of caesuras in her sad thinking. Because they breathe calm, serenity and grace.

The book ‘On connectivity’ offers readers some insight into the world of a2O - architects. It explains why a2o’s designs and buildings are connective. It connects the ‘now’ with the past and the future, with the importance of context and the autonomy of architecture. It connects engagement, craftsmanship and imagination in a contemporary way. The work of a2o – architects is situated in Belgium and the Meuse- Rhine Euroregion. a2o’s architecture occupies an area of tension between two realities, which also play a central role in this book: The main story, the leitmotiv, about its philosophy and the creative process. And the particular, the tangible, about contemporary themes and architecture. The two storylines are interwoven throughout the book, allowing text and images to make their own connections. This is a book about connectivity, about us dreaming about the perfect place to live or to work.

Rebel Rebels tracks a movement that has as yet not been historicized in Europe on the subject of AIDS activism by various artistic collectives in New York in the 1980s. The approach is historic, yet activist-based, and combines a look at graphic design, with social, political, art historical, and curatorial reflections. Rebel Rebels analyzes some of the activist art experiences born in New York between 1979 and 1989, when in response to a conservative political and cultural climate artists began to work in groups and to realize projects concretely addressed to the problems of society. The book is conceived as a tribute to all those activist art collectives born in New York City at the beginning of the 80’s, united by a common refusal of traditional aesthetic criteria, the synthesis of artistic strategies and commercial advertising for political propagandistic ends, and by a willingness to take direct action to end the AIDS crisis. Rebel Rebels aims at demonstrating that art can play a crucial role in social and political change, when artists gather in groups, or collectives, in order to cooperate with other communities and pursue a common goal.

“Something you are accustomed to seeing every day, which all of a sudden appears eternal, inexpressible. A continuous alteration of refracting forms, the chairs and their shadows appear closed off from the space that accentuates their forms but leaves them in negative.” This is how Ida Barbarigo (°1920, Italy) explains her fascination for the space in between, which has become the main theme of her abstract paintings. Not things themselves, but the tension that is created by the invisible energy that surrounds matter is what fascinates her most. Barbarigo sees this “wind” as “the time that passes”. This publication is an ode to the wind, to unseen energy and the space in-between. It is the first survey of Barbarigo’s work from 1959 ‘till 1964, supplemented with her most recent work. The book contains a moving essay by Giovanna Dal Bon in which she introduces the reader to Barbarigo’s work in a poetic way. The book also brings together many unpublished historic photographs that were discovered in the archives of Ida Barbarigo and her belated husband Zoran Music.

Translation is generally regarded as a secondary phenomenon, with the interpreter hidden behind the speaker. Paradoxically is that interpreters are regarded as furniture, while they are allowed to the most secret conversations. The European Union maintains a special position in the world of translation: while the United Nations make do with six working languages, the EU uses 23 languages. This book thematizes the subject of European translation booths in a photographic way. Attention is given to the cross-over between documentary and fiction, the relationship between representation and abstraction, and between images and research results. The book is accompanied by an essay by Trinh Minh-ha and consists of four types of images: 1. ‘Documentary’ images from the European Parliament 2. ‘Abstract’ carpet images from the Parliament 3. ‘Gloomy’ images from the short film ‘Cherry Blossoms’ by An van.

In this book the artist Kristof Van Gestel focuses on the role of art in his life — not just any art, but the art he creates himself — and the experiences that result from his art practice. The artist describes how the quest for meaning when making art helps him to discover ways individual people create meaning in general and lend meaning to the world that surrounds them in particular. Thus for Van Gestel making art acquires a more profound meaning both at a personal and a social level. In his book Van Gestel also describes the various ways in which a work precisely acquires meaning: through relating to space, through the (everyday) use of the medium, through its lingualism, through its sharing a language, through the body and through intuition.

Love letters shape love. Werner Mannaers doesn’t write love letters, he paints them in his characteristic ‘bad painting’ style. During a certain time span, the painter created a Love Letter each day; the recipient of which was always a woman. Mannaers is in love with love; which makes his current series especially human: artists never shut up about (their) art, even when making love. The book Love Letters groups these paintings Mannaers made over time. Each Love Letter is effectuated using gouache on paper. They refer to some of Mannaers’ paintings that are currently in the making. Each Love Letter equally makes reference to other artists. This makes this publication more than a collection of recent Love Letters: the publication discreetly evolves towards a visual commentary on the history of modern art.

Between 1990 and 2007, Italian artist Luciano Fabro (1936-2007) created sixteen publicly commissioned works. This book, along with an accompanying dvd, focuses on the life and works of this extraordinary artist, and brings homage to Fabro’s latest realization La Colonna di Genk. This intriguing work commissioned by the city of Genk (B) visibly illustrates Fabro’s way of thinking and creation process. The accompanying dvd reveals biographical elements as well as the making of and the festive inauguration of La Colonna during Labour Day on May the 1st 2008. The inauguration took place on the renewed Genk Stadsplein (B), just ten months prior to Fabro’s death.

This book provides a first full survey of the painted oeuvre of Luc Dondeyne. A twenty-five year formal quest that involves incessantly questioning through paint the ambiguity of everyday reality. Paintings that vibrate with a fictional narrative constructed with thickly applied paint, figurative imagery characterized by contemporary alienation … Dit boek geeft een eerste overzicht van het nu reeds indrukwekkend oeuvre van Luc Dondeyne. Een 25 jaar lange vormelijke zoektocht naar het continu schilderkundig in vraag stellen van de dubbelzinnigheid van de alledaagse werkelijkheid. Schilderijen die zinderen door hun pasteus geconstrueerde fictieve narraties, een figuratieve beeldtaal met een eigentijdse vervreemding …

Norio Imai (° Osaka 1946) joined the avant-garde movement “Gutai Art Association” in 1965 and became their youngest member. Gutai was the most influential artists’ collective and artistic movement in postwar Japan and among the most important international avant-garde movements of the 1950s and ’60s. Imai creates a monumental, monochrome white silence in space. White is the ultimate colour, a non-colour combining all colours in perfect harmony. White is a full emptiness. Imai’s work goes beyond form and emanates a cosmic force. With his pure and still whiteness, he incorporates the true concepts of originality and creativity, what all Gutai members strived for.

Het beeldend werk van Berlinde De Bruyckere vraagt dwingend om reacties van wie kijkt. Daarom zijn literaire schrijvers bijzonder aangetrokken door haar composities met verwrongen delen van mensen en paarden, die getuigen van verschrikking en troost, van de wrede dood en het sublieme. Ze haalt de lichamen leeg: door de gaten ziet de toeschouwer de donkere binnenwereld, die hem afschrikt en aanlokt tegelijk. In de resonantieruimtes van Berlinde De Bruyckeres werk kunnen schrijvers creatief te werk gaan, niet door over de objecten te schrijven, maar door er creatieve teksten naast te plaatsen. De auteur neemt geen betekenissen van het kunstwerk weg door het uit te leggen, maar voegt er betekenissen aan toe door kunst met kunst te beantwoorden. Die uitdaging neemt Nobelprijswinnaar J.M. Coetzee aan. Berlinde De Bruyckere kiest samen met hem fragmenten uit zijn gepassioneerde en ontregelende romans, die getuigen van grote schoonheid. Zo maken ze een compositie van beeld en woord die de duistere wereld van hun beider werk van binnenuit verlicht.

This publication considers a possible alternative for an iconic image drawn from our collective memory: a hijacked plane hitting the second tower of the WTC in 2001, New York. The book proposes an alternative for our collective history: the 15th of February 2003. On that day 30 million citizens across the planet marched against the unilateral decision by the American government to start a pre-emptive war against Iraq under the auspices of “the war on terrorism”. The war did happen, but this world day of resistance could very well mark the beginning of the 21st century. 2/15 instead of 9/11: a key date in the writing of a history of global contestation in the struggle between two superpowers: the United States against public opinion worldwide.

Paul De Vree (1909–1982) betreedt het domein van de avant-gardekunst op het moment dat hij al een rijkgevulde carrière als dichter en criticus achter de rug heeft. Contacten met de schilder Jef Verheyen en de dichter Henri Chopin zorgen ervoor dat hij zich vanaf het einde van de jaren 50 ontpopt tot een verwoed voorvechter van de nieuwe avant-garde in Vlaanderen. Van dan af staat hij continu in contact met zowat alle belangrijke vertegenwoordigers van de internationale concrete, visuele en sonore poëzie. Daarnaast legt hij zich in de jaren 60 ook toe op het promoten van de radicale beeldende kunst. Met De Vrees archief als sleutelgat op het tijdsgewricht 1960–1980 ontstaat een fascinerend beeld van een internationaal avant-gardenetwerk dat, via actoren als De Vree, ook sporen nalaat in het Belgische kunstlandschap. Het is op deze extreem vruchtbare periode dat ‘Neonlicht’ zich richt.

The publication constitutes a vademecum catalogue for the joint exhibition Mots et monnaies, organized by the Fondation Martin Bodmer, the KIKPE Foundation and the Benaki Museum at the Bodmer Museum (Cologny, Geneva; November 2012–March 2013). In an original attempt, manuscripts and books are combined with coins, as well as with other artefacts, highlighting the intertwined relation between words and images. The focus is turned on legends, stories, traditions, persons and events which are echoed both on written/printed material and on numismatic material, in a fashion that shows how the two media resemble, differ and complement each other and how their messages were disseminated in human societies through the ages. This prestigious full colour catalogue contains a lavish photographic essay by photographer Laziz Hamani and is edited by Luc Derycke.

Michael Fullerton’s work is concerned with how political and historical information is recorded and disseminated, in particular through the medium of the oil painted portrait. Other mediums of communication, such as billboard posters, wall texts and the raw materials used for analogue tape and audio recording are also employed. Fullerton’s choice of subjects range from the overtly political to people of varied social class and unexpected cultural histories. Underpinning Fullerton’s work is an examination of the relationships between people and the forces at play in those relationships, whether that be social relations involving authority or power, or relationship dynamics that work on a more emotional, psychological or aesthetic level.

Victor Servranckx (1897–1965) staat algemeen bekend als een van de eerste abstracte schilders en beeldhouwers in België. Met de tentoonstelling ‘Victor Servranckx. De jaren twintig’ en de bijbehorende catalogus focust Mu.ZEE op het decennium waarin de kunstenaar de beslissende overstap van de figuratie naar de abstractie maakte. Aan de hand van talrijke werken en documentair archiefmateriaal wordt zijn artistieke evolutie geschetst, die via het purisme, het futurisme, de geometrische abstractie en het surrealisme leidde. Voor de eerste maal staan ook Servranckx’ architectuur en designontwerpen in het voetlicht : een weinig bekend, maar niettemin belangrijk facet van zijn oeuvre. In woord en beeld brengt ‘Victor Servranckx. De jaren twintig’ zo een hommage aan een pionier van de Belgische avant-garde, die in de veelzijdigheid misschien wel zijn belangrijkste inspiratiebron vond.

In this classic epic of the battle between the sexes we meet Jill and John. Jill is the object of desire, John falls in love with Jill. One day John is on his way to see “the scientist”, Jill’s husband. It’s love at first sight, things start to slide: John starts an affair with Jill. On his way to one of their secret rendez-vous John has a bizarre car crash. He survives but will be transformed for ever into The Snowman. He does not have a clear recollection of his past, nor of his affair with Jill. As the Snowman he gradually discovers he can take on properties of other creatures. One day he transmutes into an insectlike personae and the inevitable takes place: he meets Jill again. They recognise each other and, amazingly, Jill explains John that he has killed her. They realise they have only one option for survival: they have to become one. Super heroes as they have become however, the process takes on dimensions of almost cosmic copulation.

The artist’s book ‘The Fields’ is a hermetic book of reference in twelve parts by Belgian artist Toon Van Borm. The book only comprises handwritten parts; which are close to illegible. After printing, the artist made an intervention on each book. The print-run of this book is very low. It is intended as a collector’s edition. Het kunstenaarsboek ‘The Fields’ is een hermetisch referentieboek in 12 delen van de Belgische kunstenaar Toon Van Borm. Het bevat enkel hand-geschreven delen, die na-genoeg volledig onleesbaar zijn. Na het drukken komt nog een ingreep van de kunstenaar op elk boek. Dit boek wordt gedrukt op een zeer kleine oplage, en wordt een verzamelaars-editie.

Joris Van de Moortel had the idea of working with the structure of a comic book a long time ago; They were his first love: his first drawings, his first stories. His first publication with MER. Paper Kunsthalle ‘Cylinder’, is not a real comic book, but the idea is based on the structure of it. The sketches, the colouring, the humour that feels close to the practice: it’s a work in itself and not just a representation of images. The artist will print one new cahier of about 48 pages on the occasion of every new project or exhibition. Each cahier has a unique design and cover. Each will be published separately at first; becoming one book, after 10 editions, that will be published as a whole.

This little Polaroid Atlas is pretty much self explanatory: for many years now Sarmento has used Polaroid photographs to work on his pieces, as “crutches” for his paintings, his drawings and other projects. Sometimes as artworks themselves. Other times as portraits of friends or memories of glimpses. The artist looked for all the polaroids he could find in the studio, just lying around or pinned up on walls or wherever… He found 93 of them and organised them in this book. There are no Polaroids left in the studio now!…
