This volume comprises the textual and visual translation of a two-year research trip undertaken by the ArtEZ Dance Academy and its Theory in the Arts research department.

Kerry James Marshall is een van Noord-Amerika’s belangrijkste hedendaagse kunstenaars en wordt geroemd om zijn werk dat de ondervertegenwoordiging van de zwarte figuur in de Westerse beeldcultuur aankaart. Marshall staat vooral bekend als schilder, maar heeft tijdens zijn carrière ook een uitgebreid grafisch oeuvre geproduceerd, dat nauwelijks gedocumenteerd is. In zijn jeugd leerde hij tekenen en schilderen, maar verdiepte hij zich ook in grafische druktechnieken. Het merendeel van zijn g...

‘100MJ’ concerns an intuitive and personal drawing project about identity by Dutch artist Bas Kosters. The book shows a series of a hundred full page drawings based on the image of Michael Jackson. It is about how people are shaped trough the eyes of others, the reach of recognizability and identity. It plays with the ideas about visual culture and recognizability. In hundred portraits drawn on ephemera Kosters shows, in a poetic manner, man in all their strength.

Over the course of 202-2021, during the pandemic, Kara Walker has produced series of drawings in the style of a medieval 'Book of Hours'. Enigmatic images appear to traverse a range of time periods, from scenes of biblical and mythological origins, to images of historical violence, to others that suggest more recent political strife. The highly personal nature of these images capture Walker's own response to the intersection of past and present as a way to understand our contemporary politica...

The legacy of the world-famous surrealist is summarised by Magritte expert Julie Waseige, who made a selection of no less than 400 images from an oeuvre of thousands of artworks.

In short, a surprising perspective on Magritte that will charm aficionados and amateurs alike. Interspersed with many archival photogr...

This large-format book first appeared in 2001, and then again in 2004. More than fifteen years later, on the occasion of his passing, this third edition once again plunges us into the surreal, imaginative work of Henri Van Herwegen (1940–2019), the Belgian sculptor known by his pseudonym: Panamarenko. Most recognised for his assemblage work, the sculptor had a penchant for aeronautics, and variations on this theme were endlessly revisited throughout his career. None of his whimsical contrap...

This publication celebrates the 10 th anniversary of the Master of Choreography programme of the ArtEZ School of Dance. It marks this particular moment in time by creating a discursive and dynamic object in which memories of the past and visions of the future converge. 'Inventing Futures' is a mixture, a hybrid of an art book, a selection of essays, a score or a choreography itself, which comes to life in its encounter with the reader. The book consists of five clusters reflecting upon a cent...
