This beautifully curated publication offers an intimate look at a selection of important post-war and contemporary artworks, reflecting the couple’s deep appreciation for art’s capacity to transcend boundaries and inspire new ways of seeing.

With a focus on the purity of form, color, and texture, the book highlights works by notable ar...

In Maisons d'art moderne schetst Tanguy Eeckhout een geschiedenis van Belgische collecties van moderne kunst met de focus op twee generaties: de 'cultuurgeneratoren' van 1945 tot 1965, en de 'avant-gardisten', die tussen 1960 en 1989 de internationale kunstwereld in volle kracht binnen traden en zich niet langer beperkten tot de Belgische grenzen of de traditionele media.

Maisons d'art moderne is gebaseerd op de onafgewerkte doctoraatsthesis van Tanguy Eeckhout, kunsthistoricus en curator van...

“The more I reflect on her work, the more it appears to me as

a peculiar form of Land Art”, is how arthistorian Ory Dessau

describes the art practice of Marie Cloquet. The artist put

together an extensive archive of photographs and uses it time

and again to create her monumental landscapes on canvas.

She considers the images, both digital and analog, as sketches

and sees similarities between her process and that of classical

painters. Close to the way in which, for example, the Fle...

Artist Tim Onderbeke considers the publication Cast Shadow not as a collection of works, but as a work in itself. The book shows a selection of images from the artist’s archive, transformed into rasterized black-and-white photos with use of Digital Image Processing (re-photographing, printing, scanning). By playing with the porosity of the grid, the images generate a pictorial quality that may remind one of Warhol’s obscure screenprints. The mechanical printing-process is applied as a met...

De kunst van Jacqueline Mesmaeker is ongrijpbaar, zoals zand dat tussen de vingers glijdt. Het nestelt zich in onze geest

en laat ons niet los. Nochtans bleef zij het grootste deel van haar carrière werken in de schaduw van vele mannelijke collega-kunstenaars. Over een tijdspanne van 50 jaar real- iseerde Mesmaeker een ongezien oeuvre dat zich inschrijft binnen de recente Belgische kunstgeschiedenis als revelerend.

CC Strombeek, BOZAR en het Roger Raveel Museum brachten in 2020 telkens een ...

As attested by her inclusion in several important survey exhibitions, including The Medea Insurrection: Radical Women Artists Behind the Iron Curtain at the Wende Museum, Los Angeles (2019–20), Drozdik is one of the most significant Eastern European women artists working in experimental performance and photography before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Following her move to New York, she worked in close relation to feminist, critical and experimental literary practices associated with New York...

Since the mid-nineties, Johan De Wilde (°1964, BE) has been

making pencil drawings that can be considered as the work of

a ‘human printer’, like man created computers in his mind.

The artworks are meticulous built as paintings, layer after layer

of horizontal and vertical lines, with a suggestion of shapes or

numbers interwoven. De Wilde draws the canvas he paints on

and mostly uses the same formats: A6, A4, A2, because he wants

the drawings to be as universal as possible and thes...
