Luc Coeckelberghs AB-I Etienne Van den Bergh, Dirk Snauwaert, Isabelle De Baets

AB-I brings together four decennia of Coeckelberghs’ artistic practice. The main core of the artist’s oeuvre comprises paintings, along with sculptural work and installations. This monograph shows the evolution over time in the use of materials, means, techniques and forms, and of one of the core questions of Coeckelbergh’s practice: a research on the concept of space in art, whether it is expressed in a two or three-dimensional way, or in a four-dimensional way, physically and mentally.

DOMINIQUE STROOBANT Dirk Pörschmann, Angela Thomas, Axel Vervoordt

Dominique Stroobant (°1947, Antwerp) is a Belgian artist living and working in Carrara, Italy. A sculptor and graphic artist, he set up the Floating Stones Group with Kenneth Davis and Philippe Toussaint in 1972. He experimented with his first heliograph, a pinhole camera that photographs the movement of the sun, in 1977. Dominique Stroobant has had numerous solo exhibitions, in Belgium and abroad, and has also participated in group exhibitions and symposia about stone sculpture. He was a close friend of ZERO artist Jef Verheyen, and they collaborated on a number of projects. Throughout his early career, Stroobant recorded anti-authoritarian movements and victim memorials. Stroobant is particularly puzzled by the shapes of things that hint at infinity.

Ni Co Lo Di RENATO NICOLODI Wim van den Bergh, Ben Overlaet, Joannes Késenne, Marie-Pascale Gildemyn

Ni Co Lo Di not only provides an overview of 10 years of artistic practice by Renato Nicolodi (° 1980), but also brings seven tributes to sources of inspiration. This voluminous book is designed by Onno Hesselink. Because the square is an important constant in Nicolodi’s work, the book too has that shape and contains four texts by writers from different fields. The monograph is an ‘encounter’ between the artist and Dutch architect Wim van den Bergh, philosopher Ben Overlaet, psychologist Joannes Késenne and art historian Marie-Pascale Gildemyn. It’s a beginning, a foundation, in the way that this baggage of images and stories is decisive for the path the artist will follow with his work.

ZERO the artist as curator Tiziana Caianiello, Dirk Pörschmann, Johan Pas, Ulrike Schmitt, Andres Pardey, e.a.

Between the late 1950s and the mid-1960s, a new artistic movement emerged in Europe that came to be known under the name of ZERO, as artists from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Switzerland sought new ways to collaborate and create new platforms for their art. In a cultural landscape bereft of conventional networks and opportunities, many avant-garde artists of postwar Europe took it upon themselves to function as the managers and editors of their own exhibitions, events, and publications. From today’s perspective, one might say that within their own exhibition spaces and in the few private galleries run by like-minded owners, these artists were also active as “curators.” This book focuses on the main projects realized by artists in the context of ZERO and is the first comprehensive study on this subject. Based on extensive archival research, it presents the result of several years of collaboration by an international group of scholars put together by the ZERO foundation.

Personally, I’m Most Interested in The Shapes and Colours Ludovik Vermeersch, Sarah Hayden, Marc Holthof, Erik Porath, Jens Presser, Rahel Schrohe, Kristof van Baarle e.a.

Marking a symbolic hundred years since Malevich painted his iconic Black Square, this publication investigates the continued potential of abstract art as a disruptive, iconoclastic or radical practice. Taking the form of a pastiche and integrating fictional elements within a theoretical framework, this book offers an experience of contextual abstraction, while using the specific case of abstract painting today to reflect on the role of narrative constructions in our experience of contemporary art. Twelve authors and six artists respond to a theoretical proposal put forth by the Belgian artist and curator Ludovik Vermeersch. Vermeersch suggests that in order to allow paintings to successfully “perform” their abstraction, one has to subvert the narrative framework they operate in. The book is a carefully composed attempt – a script, in fact – to do exactly that.

Tomorrow Joris Ghekiere Ulrich Loock, Martin Germann, Philippe Van Cauteren

This artist book presents 32 paintings of Joris Ghekiere between 2007 and the present, and accompagnies the first retrospective exhibition of the artist in S.M.A.K. Ghent, from March to May 2015, curated by Ulrich Loock. With this publication the fascinating world of this ‘artist’s artist’ is made accessible to a broader public. Ghekiere usually paints in series: a series of camgirls, a series of optical delusions, a series of thistles, etc. For this publication work from different groups has been rearranged to a complex and unexpected combination, that reveals the inner coherence of the artist’s work. Ulrich Loock, the curator of JORIS GHEKIERE/ TOMORROW commented on the oeuvre as follows: ‘Ghekiere engages in painting to reshuffle the deck. Slippage and disorder are the conditions he attempts in his work. The picture plane is turned into a place where seeing and blindness merge.’ Ulrich Loock contributed to this publication with an essay, while S.M.A.K. director Philippe Van Cauteren adresses a letter to the artist. A conversation between Joris Ghekiere and Martin Germann concludes the text part.

Hervé Martijn Ounce Sven Vanderstichelen

Hervé Martijn’s years of experience as a painter drive him to the extremes of his technical ability and question the nature of the true-to-life reality that he as an artist should allow to appear on canvas. Giving shape to a painted reality forces him to make artistic choices each time anew. Martijn’s lifelike translation consists in a painted diversity of reproductive possibilities with an inexhaustible and multipliable creative interpretation of a subtle, emotionally charged reality. His world, consisting mostly of beautiful women, is subtly manipulated on canvas by means of creative reinterpretation. Hervé Martijn’s muses shrink from the viewer’s gaze, or are stripped of their ability to look. A feeling of shame dominates the visible reality of those portrayed. In every painting the face is hidden or averted from the viewer’s judgment. As if the outside world can only observe fragments of a reality that has been made fragile. A visible, emotionally suppressed pain is sublimated in the beautiful reproduction of long, vulnerable suffering. As if recording it on canvas would bear witness to a painted conviction that acceptance is the only way to deal with wounds in life. A way of being marked for life in paint. A merciless “Ounce” upon a time in a fragile reality.

CHEVALIER-MASSON DES CHOSES À FAIRE Tim Ingold, Laurence Mauderli, Peter Swinnen

This catalogue on the work of Chevalier-Masson is published to mark the occasion of their invitation to exhibit at the Grand Hornu CID in autumn 2015. For a decade now, Anne Masson and Eric Chevalier have been joining forces to work together in the field of textiles. They examine design by adopting an experimental approach to the materials, and not a priori to the results. Driven by spontaneity and the pleasure of making, they approach textiles in different contexts, as a medium linked to cultural, collective, and intimate concerns, and to questions of function and pleasure. The catalogue aims to shed light on the organic, dynamic, and elastic spirit of the work, in which the processes invested are never really brought to an end, but are to some extent always likely to be reactivated according to circumstance. The catalogue will also present the collaborative practice that has been initiated in recent years in the company of architects, designers, and choreographers, notably the architects 51n4e and Baukunst, the designer Diane Steverlynck, and the choreographers Pierre Droulers and Thomas Hauert, projects that extend the horizon of their work and examine different statutes and dimensions of textiles. The catalogue for Des Choses à Faire is presented as a state of play for an approach with movable perimeters, liable to open up any number of tracks for inspiration and reflection.

Marcin Dudek The Department of Subterranea Harlan Levey, Anna Stüler

Marcin Dudek’s book delves into the captivating universe of a literal and figurative underground, which took form in works he created below and above ground in the past ten years. The Department of Subterranea takes us into the artist’s living space usurped by a parasitic mass of adhesive tape and plastic film (Tunnel Recording), through the illusion of a painting out into a space behind the exhibition (How to Rumble Painting), and into underground mazes constructed from tape, wood or jute fabric (I Will Eat This Sleepy Town, Cathedral of Human Labour, Land of Space and Optimism), out to public space (Winter Pavilion, Pumping Station). It also allows us to revisit composite shows and performances (Too Close for Comfort, Wild, Punch to the Sky), and see a few of Dudek’s unique hand-made books (Coal, Strata) as well as his extensive series of meticulously composed collages (When I Think About Painting, Unexplained Ground Subsidence, 17972 and many others) – unveiling many of Dudeks’s intricate references in its concise project descriptions and an insightful interview.

Ayşe Erkmen & Ann Veronica Janssens Guillaume Desanges, Jan Verwoert, Philippe Van Cauteren

Ayşe Erkmen (°1949, Istanbul) and Ann Veronica Janssens (°1956, Folkestone) are sculptors of roughly the same generation. In both their cases, sculpture is a concept that goes far beyond the three-dimensional nature of the work of art and the spatial relationship between the work and the viewer. Ayşe Erkmen’s artistic practice is characterised by a marked interest in the historical and social context in which a work of art is born. She makes invisible elements and structures in the surroundings temporarily or permanently visible. Ann Veronica Janssens is engaged with the sensory experience and the moment when the body and space meet. She experiments with the intangible and employs light, colour and sound in her research into the perception of space and movement. In 2016, at the invitation of the City of Ghent, Erkmen and Janssens will each be installing a permanent sculpture on the Korenmarkt. The S.M.A.K., in a double exhibition (31 October 2015 – 14 February 2016), takes the opportunity to set the designs in the broader context of the two artists’ oeuvres and to examine how these two relate to each other.

Polly Apfelbaum Deep Purple, Red Shoes

The artist’s book Deep Purple, Red Shoes of Polly Apfelbaum (°1955, Abington, Pennsylvania) was published on the occasion of her eponym exhibition held at Be-Part, Waregem (B) in the Spring of 2015. Apfelbaum’s oeuvre is situated where the arts of painting, sculpture and installation intersect. Her work is a mix of two and three-dimensional art. With her installations, Apfelbaum introduces various ‘female’ techniques such as weaving, into today’s contemporary art world. In Be-Part she combined a modern-day discourse with the tradition of handwoven carpets in a special in-situ project. The traditional woven woolen carpets come from the village of Teotitlán del Valle in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, where the whole community is involved in carpet making. For this exhibition, Polly Apfelbaum designed carpets that practically cover the exhibition spaces. This publication renders a printed interpretation of her show. The book starts off with a few enigmatic cut out pages in bright red, orange and purple, representing the shapes of the Be-Part rugs. These are followed by installation views in black and white that only partly reveal the actual show’s experience. A series of details in full color unveil the installation bit by bit. The books are numbered and signed by the artist.

The fragility, the antimatter and the weightlessness of the material are typical of Honoré ∂’O’s oeuvre, where the door to coincidence is always wide open. An Honoré ∂’O will never appear in the same form or in a cloned shape. It is his way of evading the trap of prejudice, the urge and the longing for the familiar, the glorification of the materialised object.

Jasper Rigole Addenda

Addenda is the joined title of a series of publications, which reflects on the practice that artist Jasper Rigole (°1980) developed in the past ten years. In that period, the artist manifested himself as collector, artist, archivist, researcher, founder and employee of the fictitious International Institute for the Conservation, Archiving and Dissemination of Other People’s Memories (IICADOM).

AraMER Sept 2015 ISBN 978 94 9232 101 5 € 35

These seven publications can be viewed as an addendum to the artist’s practice as well as to each publication as such. However, this statement could also be inverted, in which the work itself would function as an addendum to the publication. Central in Rigole’s book is the work “81 things which I thought I had forgotten”, in which Rigole researches the mnemonic quality of 81 objects stored in his studio and how these operate within the artist’s practice.

FRAGILE CITY Tülay Atak, David Bergé, Elke Krasny

Fragile City revisits Le Corbusier’s Voyage d’Orient of 1911 in the contemporary context of urbanization with essays and work by Elke Krasny, David Bergé and Tülay Atak. It is based on urban curatorial research by Krasny and photographic explorations by Bergé and Krasny. In dialogue with local experts in Athens, Belgrade, Istanbul, Rome and Vienna, Le Corbusier’s formative route was re-contextualized in contemporary terms. Atak’s contribution is an essay on Le Corbusier’s photographs as documents of an urban context corresponding to a moment at the end of imperialism and beginning of nation states. With these essays and photographs, Fragile City is a visual, critical and historical reflection on contemporary urbanization.

Table, Gentbrugge (Kitchen), 2012–2015 and Table, Gentbrugge, (Living Room), 2012–2015 are two collections of photographs, moments in time from the life of Mekhitar Garabedian, chronologically singled out and arranged in book form. Such selections of photographs based on repetition and autobiographical elements touch the core of Garabedian’s work. Mekhitar Garabedian is Armenian by descent, spent his early childhood in Aleppo and Beirut and has lived in Gentbrugge, Belgium, since his youth. For the last fifteen years, he has repeatedly been preserving specific moments and places in his family home in photographic form. Brought all together, it gives the artist an ever-growing physical and digital photographic archive that questions, supports and complements actual memory. Both publications contain 68 images and each contains an original essay by Liene Aerts and Pieter Van Bogaert.

Mekhitar Garabedian TO A STRANGER FROM A STRANGER

The main focus of To a Stranger From a Stranger by Mekhitar Garabedian is ‘return’: return as in artistic ‘modes of repetition’ and return as in hauntology, the return of the dead, or revenants. The text is deliberately constructed as ‘a tissue of quotations’ from cinema, literature, philosophy, theory, etc., a montage of carefully selected references – weaving writings, countering ‘ones with others’. Garabedian investigates in four chapters and an epilogue the following themes: citation and reference; the construction of a self and identity; diasporic subjectivity and diasporic haunting; and spaces of non-knowledge. In his text Garabedian examines how language and the other both fundamentally constitute and define us as human beings. Mekhitar Garabedian is Armenian by descent, spent his early childhood in Aleppo and Beirut and has lived in Gentbrugge, Belgium, since his youth.

SOFIE VAN DER LINDEN Coin Perdu Cornel Bieren

In the late 19th century, Emile Van Doren painted the Genk landscape from his artist villa Coin Perdu. Artists from home and abroad visited there to put their impressions of the then desolate Campine landscape on canvas. In the early 20th century, the environment changes abruptly. Three mines, three districts, three churches, three shopping streets. A large town hall is built in the old village centre, worthy of a city. Major roads connect the new mining sites. Now that mining has disappeared, fragmented remnants of built urbanity are all that remains. The roads are too large, the neighbourhoods have grown tired and the old town hall seems misplaced. The irregularities in the landscape come to the fore and give the city an unusual character. Like the landscape painters of the 1900s, Sofie Van der Linden (°Turnhout, 1986) draws the surroundings of Genk in Coin Perdu. The publication Coin Perdu was set up as a road atlas. A series of ten drawings were printed life-size, folded and cut. The drawings were realized during a work residency at FLACC in Genk. Cornel Bierens wrote a text to accompany the drawings by Sofie Van der Linden.

Dimitri Vangrunderbeek Through and Through

For this artist’s book, Dimitri Vangrunderbeek carefully placed old mirrors and glass from second-hand table tops -often large, heavy and fragile- on drying paper, and subsequently traced them with a pencil. A 10-metre long drawing of partly overlapping tracings was used to connect to the space of Vangrunderbeek’s studio. It was laid out on working tables across the three rooms of his studio on a structure of hardboard sheets. In an attempt to connect the drawing to space, a couple of mirrors were again positioned on the tracings and were partly traced with a cutter. When cutting out forms from the drawing, the hardboard appeared through the paper. When cutting further across the hardboard, fragments of tabletops of the supporting working tables and fragments of the studio floor became visible. A selection of tables, objects and sculptures present in Vangrunderbeek’s studio was used to compose the views of the different holes in the drawing, with the intention of accentuating the essences of their formal and material qualities. This artist’s book was published within the framework of the author’s PhD research and in conjunction with the exhibition “Dealing with Ordinary Form” held at Netwerk, Aalst from March 29th til June 13th 2015.

PROPORTIO Axel Vervoordt, various

Presented from May until November 2015 at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice by the Axel & May Vervoordt Foundation and Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, the exhibition Proportio examines the ways we experience proportion in our lives and the complex universe in which we live. By presenting wide-ranging and diverse expressions found in art, nature, physics, economics, history, science, music, medicine and many other subjects, the study of proportion uncovers the natural patterns that are used to create everything in the material world. Throughout the course of known human history, the knowledge of proportions has been applied across civilizations for thousands of years. The sophisticated knowledge of sacred geometry, and the golden ratio in particular, was considered highly advanced and closely linked to secretive spiritual wisdom and religious traditions.

YUKO NASAKA Axel Vervoordt, various

Yuko Nasaka (°1936, Japan) is one of the few female members of the Gutai Art Association, Japan’s most important avant-garde movement (1954–1972). Nasaka is a prominent voice of Gutai’s last generation artists who used experimental technology and cutting edge materials to give body to Gutai leader Yoshihara’s credo to “be original” and to create something that has never been created before in a manner that has never been used before. Almost obsessively Nasaka used a pottery wheel and acrylic resin lacquer to make circles on wooden boards. These circles where assembled into large works that could fill entire exhibition walls, giving the viewer a dazzling experience. This book is the first monograph about Yuko Nasaka. It brings together many historic images and documents of the Gutai period, from the artist’s personal archive and from the archives of the Ashiya City Museum of Art & History.

Peggy Wauters (°1968, Aalst) once stated that she paints quicker than she talks about things. For her, painting is like language, like speech, a way of thinking. The exhibition The Big Escape, for which this publication comes out, displays Wauters’ work of the past ten years, comprising small (sometimes not even bigger than 4,5 × 4,5 cm) and larger paintings, drawings, collages and sculptures. Striking is the almost serene and obvious manner in which she demonstrates the soft cruelty of daily life through everyday situations and scenes. In a kaleidoscopic way, Wauters’ work provides alternative contents for banal situations, creating alienations of the things that move and shake us. The sublime and the abject are naturally and subtly intertwined. Her works are riddled with humour.

the DARK GALLERIES A Museum Guide to Painted Portraits in Film Noir, Gothic Melodramas and Ghost Stories of the 1940s and 1950s Steven Jacobs & Lisa Colpaert

Imagine a museum in which the portrait of Carlotta Valdes, an important prop in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, hangs on a wall next to the painted portrait of the title character of Otto Preminger’s Laura and opposite the uncanny portraits of the desired or murdered women in Fritz Lang’s Scarlet Street, George Cukor’s Gaslight, and Nicholas Ray’s Born to Be Bad. In an adjacent gallery, the visitor of this imaginary museum can contemplate the portraits of patriarchs that feature in films such as House of Strangers, Suspicion, Gilda, and Strangers on a Train. This is precisely the concept of this book. The Dark Galleries deals with American (and some British) films of the 1940s and 1950s, in which a painted portrait plays an important part in the plot or the mise-en-scène. Particularly noir crime thrillers, gothic melodramas, and ghost stories feature painted portraits that seem to have a magical power over their beholders.

Six well-known contributing scholars address a number of specific issues, ideas and methodologies underpinning his work. Beyls’ work is contextualised in terms of today’s artistic and scientific tendencies. Many illustrations provide evidence of a diverse yet coherent body of work.

Adriaan Verwée under a poor cloak you commonly find a good drinker Sophie Van Loo, Valerie Verhack Interview with Asta Vaičiulyte

Adriaan Verwée (°1975, Ghent) makes objects and installations that are caught in the middle ground between the literal and figural, between construction and image. It is as if that decision is still under consideration, or left hanging in the air. Yet many of Verwée’s objects appear to have a specific function, and as a result are an integral part of the here and now. The temporal and spatial character of his work is enhanced through the tension that the artist quite literally puts on his combinations of different objects: by giving gravity an active role, or by introducing elements that look incomplete or redundant. Additionally an enormous amount of attention is lavished upon certain materials and their relationships. This lends these objects an aesthetic clarity and quality, which in turn appears to completely contradict their suggested functionality. This artist book is published on the occasion of Verwée’s show held at Museum M, Leuven, from August 28th until November 2nd, 2014.

Raoul De Keyser The Last Wall Jef Van Eynde

The Last Wall is centred around the last exhibition project that painter Raoul De Keyser conceived on his studio wall. Due to the painter’s untimely death in October 2012, the project never made it to the exhibition venue; Jef Van Eynde’s pictures of it being the sole testimony, a tribute to this wonderful artist. This small volume, the sole exhibition.

Shooting Range Photography & the great war Shooting Range Fotografie in de Vuurline? Inge Henneman, ed.

Shooting Range draws the story of the use of film and photography during World War I. This was a time when both media were used as new means of mass propaganda. The book questions what exactly was shown and what was deliberately omitted for the public. Shooting Range takes the stance from the public view and sheds new light on the historical context in which these images emerged, and were used and reused as genuine weapons of war.

Nick Ervinck GNI_RI_2014 Julia Kelly, Neil Spiller, Freddy Decreus & Christine Vuegen

Fostering a cross-pollination between the digital and the physical, Nick Ervinck (°1981, Belgium) explores the boundaries between various media. As a pioneer in 3D-printed sculptures the artist takes a vanguard position in the field of digital technology while at the same time his works hold numerous references to the tradition of sculpture and architecture. This first monograph focuses on this tension between innovation and tradition and gives an inside to the artist’s abundant archive. The concepts body, building, history and nature that are crucial for the artist’s oeuvre, are the leitmotifs in the book. The authors explore Ervinck’s work from different angles while a great quantity of images show the genesis of form, some of his most succesfull works and futuristic ideas that till this day were impossible to create.

Johan Clarysse Walden & other suspicions Willem Elias, Isabelle De Baets Interview with Hans Theys

Walden & other suspisions presents Clarysse’s artistic output of the past seven years, in which concepts of identity construction, communication and non-communication are key, along with the drives and aspirations of the condition humaine. Clarysse’s figurative paintings display a layered, hybrid imagery that questions and researches the ambiguity proper to human nature. His paintings tease and confuse, destabilize well-known images and themes, giving them power and force. Thus an oeuvre is created that is both playful and serious, clear and equivocal, subdued and intense.

BEING IN PLAYING Jan Steen

This publication includes six fictive conversations on the dynamism and processes that are at the basis of the actor’s dramaturgy. These conversations never really took place – or at least not outside the author’s own thinking process. The interlocutors are not based on real people. They are not psychologically realistic characters, but ‘voices’ that speak and argue from the perspective of their specific functions within the field of theatre. They are perspectives and functions that the author himself has experienced and through which he has reasoned throughout his whole professional life, being an actor, a director, a teacher and still considering himself to be a student. The dialogue format offers an opportunity to engage in a dynamic and open ‘conversation’ with these different functions and with the reader of the text, without any hierarchy among them. Complementary to the text, there are photos and a DVD with images of the author’s work.

Ruben Bellinkx NO obstacle, no image

No Obstacle, No Image makes reference to the fact that the majority of Bellinkx’ projects are extremely hard to realize. Whenever he presents his drawings and models, the public is always surprized to learn that these are the precursors of still to develop projects. Bellinkx always pushes the limits of what can safely be realized: the path along the realisation of his projects is covered with potential failures and tricky obstacles. These obstacles are a necessity in his work. This publication covers ten years of Bellinkx’ artistic practice, between 2004 and 2014, and offers insights into his preliminary works, his drawings, models and final realisations.

Hugo Puttaert THINK IN COLOUR

Ever since its foundation in 1990, design studio Visionandfactory has always played a prominent role in the Belgian and international graphic design scene. The studio’s key figure is Hugo Puttaert, designer, professor, editor, publisher and one of the sector’s movers and shakers. Instead of a complete overview, this book offers a selection, a kaleidoscopic view of Visionandfactory’s multifaceted output. The selected work is contextualised with texts by Rick Poynor and Steven Cleeren offering insight into the studio’s history and work processes as well as into Hugo Puttaert’s vision on design as a discipline and the social responsibility of the designer. With a split-fountain cover that changes colour when heated and hundreds of colour pages, this book provides a striking illustration of the credo that is so central to his vision, ‘Think in Colour’.
