In deze toegankelijke verzameling teksten over sculptuur benadert beeldhouwer Ruud Kuijer (1959) zijn vak met steeds een ander perspectief, maar altijd met hetzelfde doel: om te komen tot de kern van dat sculptuur. Kuijer is geïnteresseerd in de tradities van de beeldhouwkunst, maar heeft vooral het voortdurende verlangen de grenzen ervan te overschrijden en nieuwe combinaties te maken. Kuijer werd bekend met zijn abstracte sculpturen, waarin hij vaak herkenbare vormen ...

I’m very sensitive to the ‘appearance’ of a building in an environment. As I wandered through the Flemish landscape, I was drawn to the aesthetics of these properties and to the host of ever...

Jean-Marie Bytebier (°1963) graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Gent in 1988. Together with artists such as Wim Delvoye (°1965) he focuses mainly on the possibilities of how painting could be presented in order to understand our increasingly complicated postmodern society. In doing so he wants to seal the gap with conceptual art, as opposed to a previous generation of contemporary artists in Belgium, which followed the new German painting. Bytebier places the paintings in dipty...

Lost in Media: Migrant Perspectives and the Public Sphere gathers critical responses to the representations of migrants in the media in Europe through nine essays by prominent writers, artists and journalists. The starting point is the assertion that migrants have entered European countries, but they haven’t entered the public sphere. When they do, it is as characters in other people’s stories as something other. They are spoken about, but rarely asked. Pointed at, but rarely heard. Decid...

Johannes Vermeer heeft in vergelijking met andere kunstenaars zeker geen oeuvre van een indrukwekkende omvang geproduceerd. Slechts een veertigtal werken worden aan deze buitengewone schilder toegeschreven, waarvan hij er zelfs maar 16 heeft gesigneerd. De reden voor dit beperkte aantal is misschien wel de buitengewone rijkdom aan details die de Hollandse schilder in elk van zijn werken aanbracht en die zijn werk zo uniek en ongeëvenaard maken. Maar wat elk werk van deze Hollandse schilder e...

Kuijer is interested in sculptural traditions, but above all has a constant desire to cross boundaries and make new combinations.

The pieces are about physicality ...

In de eerste jaren van de achttiende eeuw schreef Shitao zijn beroemd geworden verhandeling over de schilderkunst. In tegenstelling tot de meeste Chinese teksten over de schilderkunst is dit geen technisch, maar in de eerste plaats een filosofisch traktaat, waarin met name de invloed van het daoïsme bepalend is. Maar het is nog meer want de verhandeling toont ons hoe we de filosofische inzichten van Laozi en Zhuangzi kunnen gebruiken als bron van creativiteit, niet alleen artistiek maar ook ...

Through his work, Luc Dondeyne offers us his view of the world. He gives us the opportunity to look together with him by showing us sometimes literally that he looks at the world through a lens. This looking together results in special and unusual compositions, such as portraits without face or with the face turned away, as well as people who are portrayed from the back. The spectator thus becomes part of the triangular relationship Dondeyne deliberately involves himself and ourselves in: the...
