DALED

— Memorandum About the Collection and Its Presentation

Some facts must be established from the start: — The collection in itself (outside of its historical context) is of limited interest. The collection is characterised by its irregular and disproportionate character as well as the modesty of the acquisitions. — One cannot deny that what we did between 1966 and 1978 has affected the minds, and continues to haunt the memories, of all those protagonists who were active during that period. — This makes us hope that the presentation in Munich will focus on what was done and in what context, rather than on what has been acquired. — We expect that through the presentation of the artworks, and their detailed documentation, a precise ‘historical recon­ struction’ of that period might be created. The aim of this would be to ensure that the presentation of the collection would have an authentic documentary value that could be recognised by historians investigating this crucial period in art history.

‌ and a Little Bit More The Archival Passion of the Collector Chris Dercon, Dirk Snauwaert and Ulrich Wilmes

At the close of the first decade of the 21st century, our transition from an analogue to a digital world has largely been completed. Similarly radical transformations in other epochs have also had lasting consequences and effects. Nevertheless, we are naturally inclined to regard those things closest to us as the most effective in each individual case, because they confront us with developments that in turn have consequences we are unable to survey. The established, adult generation is seldom prepared for such a socially relevant impetus, whereas the younger generation grows up with it and duly learns to assimilate it as a matter of course. Cultural practices within their different thematic areas are decisively influenced and altered by such developments. They take place in a time frame determined by the internal and external factors of the present. In this sense, contemporary fine art, since the 1950s at the latest, has been shadowing this acceleration of daily reality, which has in turn embraced every imaginable sector of life on a progressive scale. In so doing, art has ultimately supplanted and bade farewell to the linear sequence of innovation and reaction – which never really existed as such – in favour of a pluralism that has continued to develop out of a radicalisation of modernist artistic thought and practice. This pluralism encompasses a parallel presence of equally significant developments to boot, which unfold in different directions. Hierarchical status criteria between these tendencies are as equally obsolete as the historical permanence of the generic concepts of the artworks they produced. The interval between the given and the new becomes increasingly attenuated as we approach the present day, and as the amplitude between transformation and reflection continues to diminish. Thus, the production and distribution, as well as the presentation and accumulation of art serve to confirm the laws of a Western capitalist economy and its perennial fantasies of expansion. Coinciding with the establishment of a contemporary-style art market in the shape of the art fairs in Cologne (13 September 1967) and Basel (11-16 June 1970), important contemporary movements turned towards a critique of the material and commercial conditions of the artwork per se. Interestingly, a critical engagement with the structure of the market played an important part in this enterprise. The acceleration of information and mobility, as well as its simultaneous critique, became involved in a race not unlike the fabled contest between the hare and the tortoise; albeit with a decisive difference, namely that the roles were not clearly distributed, but tended to alternate. Serially produced editions of objects served to increase distribution with a concomitant reduction in price. This essentially democratic intention was geared 7

1956 The radiologist Herman Daled (b. 12 June 1930) and the doctor of law Nicole Verstraeten (b. 11 September 1931) marry in Dinant on 25 July 1956. Their son, Pierre, is born on 19 May 1960. Inspired by Herman Daled’s first boss, Dr. Albert Claude, a cytologist, Nobel Prize winner in Physiology and Medicine and passionate devotee of ‘New Music’, the couple start to become interested in contemporary art.

1966 The start of their ‘active participation’ in the art scene of the day is marked by the purchase of their first work by Marcel Broodthaers, Maria (1966*), on 8 November 1966 at the Galerie Cogeime, Brussels. This work is paradigmatic for the further development of the collection. Marcel Broodthaers becomes a close friend and confidant of the Daleds. Acquisitions in 1966 include: Marcel Broodthaers, César (Baldaccini), Remo Martini, Robert Stenne, Cy Twombly, Paul Van Hoeydonck.

1967 Acquisitions in 1967 include: Enrico Baj, Marcel Broodthaers. 1968 In 1968, Nicole and Herman Daled move to their apartment in the Avenue Messidor, where many of the artists represented in the collection will be frequent visitors. They meet Daniel Buren at the opening of Marcel Broodthaers’ Musée d’Art Moderne. Département des Aigles (Museum of Modern Art. Department of Eagles) in the Rue de la Pépinière, Brussels, on 27 September 1968. The desire to acquire a work by Daniel Buren begins to take shape. Throughout 1968 and 1969, the Daleds, together with Isi Fiszman, systematically acquire each one of Marcel Broodthaers’ thermoformed plastic plaques, alternately receiving the edition numbers 1 and 2 respectively*. Acquisitions in 1968 include: Marcel Broodthaers, Alain Jacquet, Remo Martini, Nikos Navridis, Panayiotis Vassilakis Takis, Cy Twombly.
