In this book, Rob Perrée tells the story of his involvement in African-American art through a chronological collage of new texts, linking texts, previously published articles, essays, interviews, reviews, columns and short stories from 1990 to 2023.

“De afgelopen jaren brachten praktijken van kunstenaars in niet-artistieke omgevingen mijn denken in beweging. Waar ik vroeger verwonderd kon raken van de beeldende uitkomsten van het artistieke proces en wilde begrijpen hoe processen van betekenisvorming beschreven konden worden, zo raakte ik de afgelopen jaren vooral verwonderd door de wijze waarop kunstenaars aanwezig zijn, hoe zij kijken, hoe zij beslissen, wanneer en hoe ze handelen, hoe ze verantwoordelijkheid nemen.

Qua techniek is er eveneens een grote variatie...

About the pleasures and pitfalls of painting, forbidden favourites and the flirtation between the art of painting and other muses.

This cahier is a visual sketchbook for an exhibition by Marlene Dumas at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, in dialogue with the museum's collection. Although the exhibition has been postponed towards 2025, this anticipatory publication already arose from Dumas' enthusiasm and affection for this combination. The enigmatic Cycladic antiquities, dating from 3000-2000 BC, speak to us in the same timeless language as Dumas' contemporary works.
