De Sculptura
2021 || Paperback || Philip van Isacker || Mer || met inkijkexemplaar
De sculptura is de bundeling van een reeks beschouwingen over een aantal concrete sculpturen die kunnen leiden tot een
inzicht in de beeldhouwkunst. Het gaat over kunstwerken die hier en nu inwerken op onze geest en onze verbeelding zoals
ontelbare andere beelden en afbeeldingen dat doen. Dat de beeldhouw- kunst, meer dan elke andere kunstvorm, erin slaagt
om ons te blijven boeien over de grenzen van tijd en ruimte heen, heeft te maken met het gegeven van de traagheid van
het medium waard...

Elsje Dezwarte. COIL
2023 || Paperback || Elsje Dezwarte || Mer
Elsje Dezwartes book Coil is a visual and cerebral reflection of everything and nothing, of how humans experience and live through time. It is about human experience across generations; caught in an infinite time loop. The cadence and rhythm of the images slowly carry the viewer along, as time passes. The reader becomes part of the scene and decides for themselves the direction and sequence of events. Are they looking at the present, the past or the future? The landscapes develop their own ch...

Tim Onderbeke. CANDLES
2022 || Paperback || Tim Onderbeke || Mer
Candles is a photographic essay by Tim Onderbeke. Fascinated by the sacred, ritual, and cerebral act of lighting a candle, the artist began collecting images of candles and candlesticks in an artistic or art-historical context. In Candles, Onderbeke uses his own work and that of others to research what he calls “the colour of darkness,” or negative space – a concept he borrowed from the Japanese writer and essayist Jun’ichirō Tanizaki. Tanizaki describes this intense experience he ha...

2022 || Paperback || Melanie Deboutte e.a. || Mer

For him, that image, and by extension visual art, is a place of wonder and mystery, a g...

Tom Van Puyvelde. Variantes
2023 || Paperback || Domenico De Chirico || Mer
"We could compare Van Puyvelde’s approach to painting to an instinctive, all-encompassing vision, a careful and patient observation of a small plot of land where every is silent, but where everything is happening at once, where the wind varies, the lights move, and where that which often remains in its place suddenly seems to be no longer there." These are the words used by art critic Domenico de Chirico to describe the work of Belgian artist Tom Van Puyvelde.
Tom Van Puyvelde (b.1985) live...

De Sculptura
2021 || Paperback || Philip van Isacker || Mer || met inkijkexemplaar
De sculptura is a collection of ideas about sculpture that could inspire a range of insights into the discipline. They
concern artworks that play on our minds and our imaginations in contemporary times, just like the countless other
kinds of images with which we are surrounded. The fact that sculpture, more than any other artform, succeeds in captivating us beyond the boundaries of time and space is due to the slowness of a medium that eradicates all elaborations on content, so that the scu...
