Spanning fifteen years of artistic practice, this monograph derives its title from a 1913 avant-garde Cubo-Futurist opera celebrating the demise of the sun. It confronts us with the speculative state of reality after the end of the world, a barren ontological wasteland in which artifacts have lost their utility. In his work, Xavier Mary is concerned with the dreams and nightmares of modernity, resulting from its inherently industrial nature. The sense of an impending apocalypse or total destr...

De artistieke praktijk van Willem Boel (°1983, Sint-Niklaas; woont en werkt in Gent) valt binnen het uitgebreide veld van

de beeldhouwkunst en bevat monumenten/structuren, kinetische sculpturen, gigantische rekwisieten en decors. Boel thematiseert de beeldhouwkunst als performance, als architectuur, als machinerie. De meeste werken uit zijn oeuvre circuleren door elkaar. Elk werk verbergt letterlijk de andere werken en zet ze voort, waardoor een voortdurende stroom van materiële elementen ...

“There is a lot of libido in the works of Tomislav Nikolic. An excess of desire which throbs and pulsates — palpitates — like some disco night atmosphere full of adrenaline and exaggerated lust. No!, you say. Nikolic’s works are exquisite, beautiful, serene, transcendent, mystical, spiritual. Yes, Ok they are, but they are also a bacchanal, carnival and a mardi gras; a late night in a mosh pit when things get loose and hyperventilated. They are all — every¬thing. Yet restrained. Co...

Tien verzamelaars, dertig kunstenaars, zestig kunstwerken, een eerste tentoonstelling. Vier verzamelaars, vier kunstenaars, twintig kunstwerken, een tweede tentoonstelling. Een kunstenares, twaalf kunstwerken, een derde tentoonstelling.

"Een hommage aan de medeplichtigheid van verzamelaars aan de artistieke visies van kunstenaars."

Axel and May Vervoordt believe in art’s intrinsic power to change lives and add perspectives to the past, present, and future. Their collection embodies this unique approach and includes more than 750 works, spanning geographies and periods and including pieces from archaeology to contemporary art. Their interests in questions about space, time, and concepts of the void form the basis of a collection that grew from an intuitive and untameable curiosity and genuine friendships with artists. ...

Filip Claus is vooral bekend als baanbrekende fotograaf bij De Morgen. Zowel zijn spraakmakende portretten van Belgische politici als zijn indringende beelden van conflicten in Zuidoost-Europa, Afrika en vooral het Midden-Oosten, behoren intussen tot het collectief geheugen. Gestolde taferelen. Een guerrillastrijder met het fototoestel als enige wapen.

Oogst kwam tot stand naar aanleiding van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in de Sint-Pietersabdij in Gent, van 12 mei tot 20 augustus 2023.

Johan Clarysse culls and paints images, unbiased, guided only by their potential for leaving a lasting impression on the viewer. To this end, imagery is assessed for its tension and contrasts, for its ability or inability to convey meaning, as well as for the presence of any unsettling enigmas. That is, drama without any restrictive narrative. Tension without any apparent curve. Clarysse’s work stands out because of its unique language, the use of soft, muted colours, its existential themes...

The book Ça suffit? is the high point of the festive year on the occasion of the 75th birthday of artist Albert Pepermans, organised by Schönfeld Gallery. For a whole year a different aspect of Pepermans’ oeuvre was presented every four weeks. At Art Brussels 2022 a solo booth was dedicated to Pepermans as well. The year concludes with this extensive monograph.

Ça suffit? is more than a barren summary of Pepermans’ oeuvre. It is an atypical reference book by an atypical artist. It is a...

The book X Years in Art celebrates the ten year anniversary of the Antwerp based Nadya Kotova Gallery. Studying economics in the early 1990s in St. Petersburg—during the shift from a planned market economy to a free market economy in Russia—she initially didn’t think of becoming a gallerist or an art dealer. The turning point though was when she discovered the work of Igor Kislitsyn, who was—and still is—relatively unknown, partly because he is zealously religious. Kotova was strong...
