Het kunstenaarschap is dus ook vandaag nog een mythe. Zit de kunstenaar per definitie gevangen in deze mythe? Is een gedemystificeerde kunstpraktijk voorstelbaar? Of heeft het kunstenaarschap zonder mythische lading geen ...

By the first half of the twentieth century, fundamental research had acquired an almost invi...

A literary analysis of the chaotically ordered composition of this part of the metropolis involves spaces, places, voids and objects within the realm of this place of experience and imagination, with its visible elements and its ethereal body of histories and myths. The process of naming spaces and elements becomes a n...
