Dynamic Project II is published on the occasion of the retrospective Philippe Van Snick – Dynamic Project in S.M.A.K.. This publication complements the book Dynamic Project from 2010, an illustrated monograph that offers an overview of the work and life of the artist between 1970 and 2010. Dynamic Project II picks up where Dynamic Project left off: it starts in 2010 and continues until the death of the artist in 2019. The research and writing for this second book was done by Wouter de Vlees...

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.

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. ...

Kunstenaars en atleten zoeken steeds hun grenzen en limieten op. Begenadigd met talent en nooit vies van serieus labeur dromen ze elk in hun vak van de absolute top. Maar wat betekenen ontwikkeling, stijl, elegantie, beperking, rivaliteit, snelheid, kracht of behendigheid nu precies in kunst en sport? Applaus, roem of drama voelen in beide domeinen alvast even intens aan. Met vergelijkend beeldmateriaal, interviews, quotes en essays botsen en vervlechten de schijnbaar uiteenlopende werelden v...

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...

In the vast expanse of human understanding, Witold Vandenbroeck (b.1994, Leuven) delves into the profound connection between us and the landscapes we inhabit. His canvases, a mesmerizing fusion of archetypes such as volcanoes, arteries, stones, and pottery, offer a visual exploration of our evolving relationship with the environment. These are not merely paintings but a fluid sequence of impressions, each ebbing into the next. It's in the space between these cascading images that the true ess...

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...

Karel Verhoeven (15 november 1982 - 23 september 2021) is een Belgisch beeldend kunstenaar en vormgever die vanuit grafische media gaandeweg ruimtelijk, audiovisueel en performatief ging werken. In zijn werk behandelt hij de relatie tussen de geconstrueerde omgeving en sociale interacties. Met referenties aan architectuur en muziek is zijn werk telkens een uitnodiging aan de spelende mens.

Met als uitgangspunt een vaststaand kader - het grid van de dagelijkse strip in de krant - maakt hij tij...
