Yayoi Kusama is certainly one of the most important post-war and contemporary artists of the moment, with exhibitions all over the world. Her work is not only of historical importance, but it also appeals to a huge, broad and international audience, and escapes almost all art concepts such as Minimal Art, Pop Art and Happening. Since 2005, the 0-institute has been collecting archive material with a team of art historians and doing interviews with eyewitnesses, including artists, friends, and ...

"Dumitru is a project started in 2015. The corpus of images that composes it comes mainly from archives relating to the period of the reign of the Ceaucescu dictatorship in Romania (1974/1989). Missed Utopias, lost dreams, technologies that have become obsolete ... For four years, I drew on these images, scrutinized and enlarged their surfaces, revisited places by making new shots, trying out new assemblies, such as a montage game, until evidence emerges.

The book is a posthumous tribute to D...

A treasure trove for dog-lovers and porcelain enthusiasts alike, this book celebrates a collection of more than 100 porcelain pugs, most of which were designed in the mid-18th century by Johann Joaquim Kändler, the eminent modeler in the Meissen porcelain factory in Germany. Stunning new photography of the objects is accompanied by essays that place the figures in their historical and artistic context. Pugs were introduced to Europe in the late 16th or early 17th century and quickly gained p...

This is the first book to explore the oeuvre of contemporary Belgian sculpor Carole Solvay (b. 1954). Using primarily feathers and thin wire, Solvay has, over the past 25 years, created ethereally beautiful sculptures that seem to defy gravity. This publication illustrates over 100 of her works alongside short quotations from Solvay's favorite literary works, including by Carson McCullers, Syvia Plath, Mahmoud Darwish, Fernando Pessoa, and Yi Jing, among many more. These writers have inspi...

For more than seven years, Syria has been undergoing one of the worst human tragedies worldwide. This once proud and splendid country, with its fabled cities of Damascus and Aleppo, has been largely destroyed and great parts of its population have been forced to leave, which has led to one of the major refugee migrations of recent history.

Syria's fate affects everyone, and especially its neighbours in the Middle East. It is for this reason that the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha has chosen to...

Gustav Klimt, de controversiële en fascinerende kunstenaar uit het Wenen van het fin de siècle, heeft een onnoemelijke hoeveelheid aan schilderen en grafisch werk nagelaten. Dit boek belicht zowel de mens als de de kunstenaar Klimt. Een caleidoscopische wereld, vibrerend van licht en kleur, met magische en sensuele wezens ontvouwt zich voor onze ogen.

Het leidt de lezer langs de betoverende eerste allegorieën en de 'scandaleuze' dromerige afbeeldingen op de universtiteitsschilderijen in We...
