Het werk van Angel Vergara (°1958, Spanje) geeft gestalte aan een diepgravend onderzoek naar de kracht van het beeld. Aan

de hand van performances, video’s, installaties, schilderijen en tekeningen tast Vergara de grenzen af van kunst en realiteit, en bevraagt hij hoe de hedendaagse beeldcultuur onze private en publieke sferen vormgeeft en beïnvloedt.

Those who proclaim as their unshakeable conviction that man (= every human being) is only consciousness, as the most famous structuralists and Derrida with in their wake the deconstructionists do, and that consequently only subj...

Images from the paddocks are often in the minority. The booklet “With the camera in the paddock” fills this gap by presenting pictures of a pur sang enthusiast about the period 1961 until 1975. The photographer in question, Klaas Tjassens, has knowledge and a love for motorcycles, plus a nose for beautiful technology...
