Rubens en zijn erfenis

Rubens et son héritage

Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), hofschilder met Europese faam, maakte een synthese van de nuances en paradoxen van zijn tijd. Zijn scheppingen vormden een bron van inspiratie voor tal van kunstenaars, dit tot in de twintigste eeuw. BOZAR duikt samen met het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten nu opnieuw in zijn oeuvre. De thema's Geweld, Macht, Lust, Religie, Elegantie en Poëzie worden aangekaart in werken van de meester en zijn erfgenamen. De tentoonstelling presenteert onder meer doeken van Van Dyck, Gainsborough en Delacroix en etsen van Rembrandt en Picasso, die vaak 'de Rubens van de twintigste eeuw' wordt genoemd.

Peintre de cour à la réputation internationale, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) synthétise les nuances et les paradoxes de son temps. Ses créations sont encore de nos jours une source d'inspiration pour toute une série d'artistes. BOZAR et le Musée Royal des Beaux-Arts d'Anvers vous replonge dans son ouvre, de manière thématique : la violence, le pouvoir, la luxure, la compassion, l'élégance et la paix sont abordés par le biais d'ouvres du maître et de ses héritiers. L'exposition présente entre autres des toiles de Van Dyck, Gainsborough et Delacroix ainsi que des gravures de Rembrandt et Picasso souvent surnommé « le Rubens du XXe siècle ».

Dining with the Tsars

De kleine kunstkijker

Breekbare schoonheid uit de Hermitage / Delicate beauty from the Hermitage

Deirdre Carasso, Catrien Schreuder

De majestueuze serviezen, op tafels met gedecoreerde tafelstukken, tonen de betoverende grandeur van de banketten die de tsaren hielden. De grootste pronkserviezen zijn die van Catharina de Grote, zoals het Servies met de Groene Kikker (Wedgwood) en het Servies met de Cameeën (Sèvres, Parijs). Maar ook de serviezen van latere tsaren zijn indrukwekkend. Extra cachet krijgen ze nog doordat ze onlosmakelijk verbonden zijn met de Europese geschiedenis Expo: 6/9/2013 - 1/3/2015 ++ price not set yet ++, Hermitage Museum, Amsterdam

Om met (klein)kinderen te genieten van een museumbezoek, hoef je zelf geen kunstexpert te zijn. Door nieuwsgierig te zijn en op onderzoek uit te gaan ontstaan vaak al bijzondere gesprekken. Waar zit Rembrandts kleine Titus aan te denken? Waarom huurt Rineke Dijkstra geen fotomodel in?

Edmond Picard (1836-1924)

Jérôme Bosch

Un bourgeois socialiste belge à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle. Essai d'histoire

Entre ciel et enfer Chris Will

Quiconque s'intéresse à la Belgique fin de siècle, à l'Art nouveau ou à l'histoire des idées rencontre inévitablement le nom d'Edmond Picard. Avocat et homme politique, mécène, collectionneur, écrivain et animateur de la vie culturelle, il est partout. Cette ubiquité en fait pourtant un personnage difficile à saisir. Les disciplines académiques sont en effet spécialisées. L'historien de l'art croise rarement les préoccupations du juriste, et l'un comme l'autre tendent à ignorer l'histoire sociale.

Dans son inspiration, Jérôme Bosch (vers 1450-1516) était un enfant de son temps. Au bas Moyen Age, l'au-delà paraissait si proche que les descriptions saisissantes du ciel et de l'enfer ne manquaient pas. Mais celles de Bosch se distinguaient par l'incroyable richesse de sa vision personnelle et la puissance de son imagination, qui conféraient à son oeuvre la même intemporalité qu'au ciel et à l'enfer. Ce livre est une plongée fascinante dans la vie et l'univers mental de Jérôme Bosch.

Le Dessin 'fin de siècle' (1870-1900). D'Ensor à Van Gogh Trésors graphiques de la collection Henri Van Cutsem Jean-Pierre De Rycke La très riche collection de dessins accumulée au cours du dernier tiers du dix-neuvième siècle par Henri Van Cutsem (1839-1904), le mécène bruxellois qui est à l'origine du Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tournai, est en quelque sorte le reflet ou le prolongement de l'ensemble exceptionnel de peintures et de sculptures « modernes » qu'il rassembla avant sa mort au seuil du vingtième siècle et juste avant les avant-gardes artistiques qui allaient bientôt s'y succéder, à partir du Cubisme (1907).

Jean-Jacques Gailliard Xavier Canonne. Avec textes d' Alfonso Enriquez De Villegas Baignée de musique, de poésie, de références philosophiques et spirituelles, la peinture de Jean-Jacques Gailliard (1890-1976) transcende les courants picturaux du XXe siècle : cubisme, futurisme, expressionnisme et surréalisme imprègnent son ouvre sans jamais la contraindre. Entre dessin et écriture, couleur et encre de Chine, du modernisme au relevé fantomatique des rues de Bruxelles ou des plages d'Ostende, Gailliard trace son chemin, forgeant un ouvre particulièrement libre et original.

Magritte Poète visible et autres textes

Magritte Zichtbare dichter en andere teksten

Cahier des Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique

Cahier van de koninklijke Museum voor Schone Kunsten van België

Philippe Robert-Jones

Magritte poète visible, publié une première fois en 1972, est un essai qui met en évidence la densité poétique de l'oeuvre d'un des plus grands artistes surréalistes. Cette première partie de l'ouvrage est suivie d'une série d'articles parus entre 1951 et 2007, relatifs au peintre sous des angles divers : contexte du surréalisme, hypertrophie de l'objet, fantastique, Breton et Magritte, notion de variante, etc. La pertinence de ces analyses méritait de les voir rassemblées en un seul ouvrage. Le livre témoigne de l'intérêt et de l'amitié portés pendant plus d'un demi-siècle par l'historien d'art et écrivain Philippe Roberts-Jones à un grand maître de l'art contemporain.

Een nieuw Cahier, Magritte zichtbare dichter en andere teksten (1951-2007), getuigt van de belangstelling en de meer dan een halve eeuw lange vriendschap van kunsthistoricus en schrijver Philippe Roberts-Jones voor een grootmeester van de hedendaagse kunst. Dit cahier omvat een in 1972 gepubliceerd essay gevolgd door een reeks artikelen die uitgegeven werden tussen 1951 en 2007. De relevantie van die analyses maakt het de moeite waard om ze opnieuw uit te brengen in één bundel.

Ysbrant

Luc Tuymans: München

Schilderijen-Paintings, 2000-2014

in het Koninklijk Atheneum van Antwerpen

Frank Herreman & Marc Ruyters

In 2003 brandde de voorbouw van het Koninklijk Atheneum van Antwerpen volledig af. Internationaal gerenommeerd kunstenaar Luc Tuymans maakte speciaal voor het Atheneum het magistrale doek München. Net zoals de verdwenen schilderingen in de feestzaal iets vertelden over het onderwijs in de negentiende eeuw, vertelt München een verhaal over het onderwijs in het begin van de eenentwintigste eeuw. Dat verhaal biedt geen antwoorden, maar stelt vooral vragen.

Ysbrant is een schilder. Schilderen is het medium dat consequent zijn voorkeur geniet. Op het eerste zicht lijken zijn doeken een kluwen van figuren en objecten. Op het tweede zicht ontdekt men echter een ordening waarin die mensen en objecten, samen met wolken, lucht en water hun plaats krijgen om een verhaal te vertellen.

The Aftermath

Jan Hoet. Stefan Hertmans, Hand Ballets and Reflection. On the Work of Karel Dierickx

Foreword by Willem Elias. Text: Ann M. Dijkstra, I saw myself seeing myself

Karel Dierickx's existential radicalism will always keep him aloof from the current generation of Flemish painters, but over the years the aristocratic appeal of his aloofness has grown. It is the detachment, the integrity of someone who is such an integral part of the great painting tradition that he no longer needs any environment, a school or trend. He has enough work in the time and space around him. It is the breath of a body of work that is self-sufficient in the iconographic space of its own intimacy Expo: 28/3/2014 - 18/5/2014, Roberto Polo Gallery, Brussels

Roberto Polo Gallery toont met trots de uitzonderlijke werken van de Belgische schilder Marc Maet (1955-2000). Deze ontuitgegeven tentoonstelling, 'The aftermath', omvat schilderijen uit zijn laatste creatieve periode, namelijk de tien jaar die voorafging aan zijn dood. Met Philippe Vandenberg en Fik van Gestel, wordt Marc Maet beschouwd als een opmerkelijke vertegenwoordiger van de nieuwe schilderkunst in België.

What matters - Waar het op aan komt

Tsuyoshi Maekawa

Vergankelijkheid is een thema dat kunstenaars door de eeuwen heen steeds geboeid heeft. Zo zijn in een groot aantal 17 de eeuwse vanitas-schilderijen verwijzingen te vinden naar de vergankelijkheid van het aardse bestaan. Ook in onze hedendaagse kunst blijft het thema vergankelijkheid een belangrijke insipratiebron. Denken we maar aan het werk van Bill Viola, Thierry De Cordier, David Claerbout, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Sam Taylor-Wood enz.

Tsuyoshi Maekawa, Koichi Kawasaki, Shoichi Hirai, Axel Vervoordt Tsuyoshi Maekawa (°1936, Japan) is one of the few remaining members of the Gutai Art Association, Japan's most important avant-garde (1954-1972), which has been receiving a lot of international attention the last few years. This book is the first monograph about Maekawa. Expo: 13/3/2014 - 3/5/2014, Axel Vervoordt Gallery, Antwerp

Xavier Tricot

Ruben Bellinkx

Paintings 1993-2013

No obstacle, no image (incl. DVD)

NL tekst van Marc Holthof en FR tekst van Stéphanie Moris

Peter De Graeve, Ann Meskens, Maïté Vissault

Heel wat doeken van Tricot lijken de oppervlakte van een object af te tasten. Ze zijn het resultaat van een zoektocht paradoxaal genoeg als het ware blind en op de tast - op zoek naar ijkpunten, naar zekerheden in de visuele werkelijkheid. Soms is nauwelijks te zien wat een doek voorstelt, of schildert hij zijn onderwerp de zee - door een jaloezie, of schildert hij de barsten in een ruit, de dauwdruppels op een spinnennet, de bijen in een honingraat, de x-stralen- opname van een hand. Expo: 14/3/2014 - 21/4/2014, Venetiaalse Gaanderijen, Oostende

De titel No obstacle, no image verwijst naar het feit dat de meeste projecten van Ruben Bellinkx alles behalve evident zijn. De verbazing bij het publiek is altijd groot wanneer blijkt dat zijn tekeningen en maquettes voorstudies zijn voor werkelijk uit te voeren projecten. Hij duwt steeds tegen de grenzen van de onmogelijkheid. De uiteindelijke werken zijn het resultaat van een langdurig voorzichtig aftasten van de fysieke mogelijkheden.

Ed.: Jeffrey Grove. Texts: Jeffrey Grove u.a., Design: Kim Beinaert Sinds hij zich eind jaren negentig volledig op kunst ging toeleggen, heeft Michaël Borremans (°1963 in Geraardsbergen, België) een opvallend rijp oeuvre opgebouwd dat internationale aandacht krijgt. De vervreemdende ruimten die hij in zijn schilderijen, tekeningen, sculpturen en films oproept zijn gebaseerd op een geheimzinnig gevoel voor ontwrichting en voor vaak verwarrende schoonheid. Met reproducties van bijna tweehonderd werken die in een periode van veertien jaar zijn ontstaan. Expo: 22/2/2014 - 3/8/2014, Bozar, Brussels | 4/9/2014-31/1/2015: Tel Aviv Museum of Art

Depuis les débuts de sa carrière de peintre, Gerhard Richter (Dresde,1932) se confronte au paysage. Plus que toute autre, cette thématique l'a fasciné dans la durée : paysages en noir et blanc réalisés d'après des illustrations de magazines et des photographies d'amateurs, panoramas de montagnes et vues de parcs peints dans une matière épaisse, marines illusionnistes dans des coloris subtils et diaphanes.

Mona Hatoum

Kurt Vonnegut

Turbulence

Drawings

Nanette Vonnegut. Wrintings by Kurt Vonnegut Those who know Kurt Vonnegut as one of America's most beloved and influential writers will be surprised and delighted to discover that he was also a gifted graphic artist. This book brings together the finest examples of his funny, strange, and moving drawings in an inexpensive, beautifully produced gift volume for every Vonnegut fan.

The exhibition Mona Hatoum: Turbulence brings to the forefront the diversity of Mona Hatoum's work over the last 30 years. Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath of Art Reoriented, the exhibition's premise builds on the artist's topical work Turbulence (2012), a 4 x 4 meter square composed of thousands of glass marbles laid directly onto the floor. Placed exactly at the centre of the exhibition, this installation lies at the heart of a linear but non-chronological trajectory whereby a number of unexpected juxtapositions echo the complexity through which the artist (Beirut, Lebanon, 1952) has managed to challenge, and at times disturb, our experience of the ordinary. The choice of the notion of turbulence as a conceptual framework for the exhibition is derived from the thematic and formal dichotomies inherent within the artist's work. These render it familiar yet perplexing, allowing for an intense aesthetic experience that is both inviting yet impenetrable, or, in other words, turbulent. On an internal level, turbulence echoes the artist's questioning of self vis-à-vis one's grappling with issues of alienation and displacement. Externally, it is a reflection of her interrogation of notions of belonging and collective memory. And finally, on a formalistic level, turbulence can be seen as resulting from the artist's ongoing inquiry into ways of expanding the formal and material qualities of artistic expression.

Kurt Vonnegut's daughter Nanette introduces this volume of his never before published drawings with an intimate remembrance of her father. Vonnegut always drew, and many of his novels contain sketches. Breakfast of Champions (1973) included many felt-tip pen drawings, and he had a show in 1983 of his drawings at New York's Margo Feiden Gallery, but really got going in the early 1990s when he became acquainted with the screenprinter Joe Petro III, who became his partner in making his colorful drawings available as silkscreens. With a touch of cubism, mixed with a Paul Klee gift for caricature, a Calder-like ability to balance color and line, and more than a touch of sixties psychedelic sensibility, Vonnegut's aesthetic is as idiosyncratic and defiant of tradition as his books. While writing came to be more onerous in his later years, making art became his joyful primary activity, and he made drawings up until his death in 2007. This volume, and a planned touring exhibition of the drawings, will introduce Vonnegut's legion of fans to an entirely new side of his irrepressible creative personality.

Mona Hatoum: Turbulence is the artist's largest solo exhibition to date in the Arab world, and it consists of more than 70 works. Expo: 7/2/2014 - 18/5/2014, Arab Museum of Modern Art, Mathaf

Alibis Sigmar Polke

Ai Weiwei: Spatial Matters Art, Architecture and Activism

1963 - 2010 Edited by Kathy Halbreich

Widely considered to be one of the most significant cultural figures of his generation in China and internationally, Ai weiwei successfully occupies multiple roles as a conceptual artist, architect, curator, designer, film-maker, publisher and activist. Using a variety of formal languages with both traditional and innovative methods of production, Ai links the past with the present and explores the geopolitical, economic and cultural realities affecting the world with humour and compassion.

Working across an unusually broad range of media, Sigmar Polke is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the post-war generation. Experimenting wildly with materials and tools as varied as meteor dust and the Xerox machine, Polke made work of both intimate and monumental scale drawn from sources as diverse as newspaper headlines and Durer prints. He avoided any single signature style, a fluid method best defined by the word 'alibi' which means 'in or at another place'. This is also a reminder of the deflection of responsibility which shaped German behaviour during the Nazi period, necessitating that every artist of Polke's generation reinvent the role of the artist. Published in conjunction with the first comprehensive exhibition to encompass the artist's work across all media, this richly illustrated publication provides an overview of his crossdisciplinary innovations and career. Essays by Kathy Halbreich, Associate Director of The Museum of Modern Art, Mark Godfrey, Curator of International Art, Tate Modern, and other scholars and artists examine the full range of Polke's exceptionally inventive oeuvre and place his enormous scepticism of all social, political and artistic conventions against German history and the country's subsequent transformation during the post-war period.

This book, published in association with the artist, draws on the full breadth of Ai weiwei's architectural, installation and activist work, including drawings and plans from a huge range of international projects, with particular emphasis on his use of space. The publication will also include excerpts from his blog, in which his insightful commentary on the world around him comes to the fore. Throughout the book, a wide selection of essays by leading critics and art-historians, as well as interviews with the artist, draw out his central concerns. An essential addition to any art lover's bookshelf, this publication will be richly illustrated with over 450 colour reproductions.

Modern Art Series

Evidence

by Sally O'Reilly

Gereon Sievernich

The consistently original painter, sculptor and video artist Mark wallinger has created some of the most subtly intelligent and irreverent work from the UK in the last twenty-five years. Studying in London at the Chelsea School of Art (1978-81) and goldsmiths College (1983-5), his early work questioned the traditions and values of British society and its class system, best represented by his employment of images of racehorses. Painted in a photo-realist style, these works explored issues of ownership, inheritance and pedigree, with suggestive titles such as Race, Class, Sex (1993). His 1995 Turner Prize nomination was largely thanks to his piece A Real Work Of Art, an actual racehorse which the wallinger had bought and named 'A Real work Of Art' with a view to entering it in races, causing his artistic concept to be piped into bookmakers up and down the country. In the late 1990s wallinger shifted his focus to a questioning of institutionalised spirituality and religion. Typical of his humourous observational approach, his piece Angel (1997) is a video played in reverse showing the artist as his blind alterego 'Blind Faith' walking backwards at the bottom of the down escalator at Angel Underground Station while reciting the opening lines of the gospel of John in the King James Bible. His innate scepticism was downplayed in a later popular public sculpture commissioned for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, Ecce Homo (1999). a serene marble life-sized cast of a young man representing Christ. After a retrospective at Tate Liverpool in 2000, representing Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2001, and then winning the Turner Prize in 2007 with his socially-engaged installation State Britain, wallinger's star has continued to ascend, culminating in the as yet unrealised Ebbsfleet Landmark Project - a fifty metre sculpture of a white horse standing in the English countryside. 2013 has also seen him create a multi-part work entitled Labyrinth to mark the 150th anniversary of London Underground. As with all the titles in our perennial Modern Artists series, this book contains one hundred full-colour illustrations and a new interview with the artist.

A renowned sculptor, installation artist, filmmaker, author and human rights activist, Ai Weiwei is contemporary China's most well-known and influential artist. His work has attracted international attention for its criticism of the Chinese government. Much of Ai Weiwei's work is a reflection of his own feelings of imprisonment, rage and powerlessness. This book offers reproductions of the approximate 50 works in the exhibition, some of which were specially created for Berlin's Marin-Gropius-Bau museum, and some more specifically for the building's enormous glass-topped atrium. From large installations to smaller dioramas, these works present Ai's most recent artistic expressions of resistance, courage and historical truth.

Texts by Stefanie Gommel, graphic design by Andrea Rauschenbusch During his travels through China, Peter Bialobrzeski's was repeatedly struck by the nail houses: often derelict houses earmarked for demolition surrounded by tall, newly constructed buildings but whose owners absolutely refuse to vacate. In his thought-provoking series, the artist takes photographs of these isolated structures, often in the evening hours, when the brightly lit windows convey a sense of the domestic comfort these homes have for their owners despite all of the cracks in the walls.

The Wild Horses of Sable Islands

North Korea

Sable Island, a small island off the coast of eastern Canada is the site of some 500 wild horses, 500 shipwrecks and 500 years of known history. Never settled, the island, also known as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," has seen temporary occupation by shipwrecked sailors, transported convicts, pirates and wreckers. The wild horses, named for the island they inhabit, abandoned there long ago or cast ashore from wrecks, are now the only terrestrial mammals on Sable Island.

North Korea certainly wouldn't come first on a general list of dream destinations. Nevertheless, the country exudes an eerie fascination. It is a mystery, an anonymous country isolated from the rest of the world. With two friends, photojournalist Julia Leeb made a journey to better understand the country and its people. The result is a spectacular illustrated volume that offers a riveting look at the architecture, culture, and people often living under anachronistic if not surreal circumstances.

Pussy Riot Unmasked

Stern Portfolio No. 75

Bert Verwelius

Robert Lebeck excels at capturing complex stories in deceptively simple compositions. Internationally recognized for his photojournalism and portraits of figures in the arts and culture, he is a master of interacting with his subjects in a playful manner that encourages them to open up-revealing both the public figure and the hidden private emotions. While being candid, he never sought to shock or make his subjects uncomfortable-in doing so, he earned their lasting trust.

As a result of their actions such as the "Punk Prayer" in Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral and their subsequent trials, the girls of Pussy Riot were transformed into icons of protest. The images of the principal members, Nadezda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina, were seen all around the world before the two disappeared for two years into Russian prison camps. Bert Verwelius depicted their living and working conditions there as an impressive picture series.

On This Earth, a Shadow Falls

Early Black and White

Contributors: Jane Goodall, Alice Sebold, Peter Singer, Vicki Goldberg. Photography: Nick Brandt

Saul Leiter The distinctive iconography of Saul Leiters early black and white photographs stems from his profound response to the dynamic street life of New York City in the late 1940s and 50s. While this technique borrowed aspects from the photo-documentary, Leiters imagery was more shaped by his highly individual reactions to the people and places he encountered.

In 2001, Nick Brandt embarked on an ambitious photographic project, a trilogy of books memorialising the vanishing natural grander of East Africa. Focusing on of the world's last great populations of large mammals; elephants, giraffes, lions, gorillas and their kin, he created two of the new century's most influential photographic books: On This Earth (2005) and A Shadow Falls (2009). His iconic portraits of these majestic animals express and empathy usually reserved for human subjects. New edition, Distributed Art Publishers

Naked City

Rare and Classic Images from the Ramiro A. Fernandez Collection

Weegee

Ramiro A. Fernández

When Naked City was published in 1945, it was an instant success and inspired a Hollywood film. Naked City is Weegees unflinching look at his beloved New York City through photos by turns ironic, hilarious, seamy and brutal. Photographing the city at all hours and in all its guises, Weegee created a thrilling, lonely and candid portrait, and a style that was to inspire younger photographers, not least Diane Arbus.

From the earliest daguerreotypes to glamorous shots of movie stars, the country's history is represented by a rich spectrum of personalities: race-car driving aristocrats, sultry showgirls, gangsters, everyday folk, and revolutionaries who would soon transform the nation. Rare images are showcased: a portrait of Castro as a schoolboy, a bare-chested Che Guevara, and Heinz Lüning, the only Nazi spy executed in Latin America during World War II.

Belgen op de vlucht 1914-1918 Piet Chielens en Kristin Van Damme

A special edition guide book with the best local Art, Food, Photography, Music, Travel and Neighbourhood tips from the magazine's team of editors.

Vluchten. Huis en vaderland halsoverkop verlaten. Het is een traumatische gebeurtenis die een mensenleven in een mum van tijd overhoop gooit. Zo was het ook op 8 augustus 1914, toen de Eerste Wereldoorlog losbarstte. Het Duitse leger rolde over het neutrale Belgïe als een pletwals. Meer dan een miljoen Belgen vluchtten naar Nederland, Frankrijk en Groot-Brittannië. Ruim een half miljoen van hen bleef het einde van de oorlog afwachten in ballingschap. Hoe werden de vluchtelingen in hun gastland opgevangen? Konden kinderen naar school en volwassenen aan het werk gaan? Was er mogelijkheid tot ontspanning? Kortom, hoe beleefden mensen de lange jaren in ballingschap? Dit boek biedt een prangend beeld van de grootste exodus uit onze geschiedenis. Aangrijpende foto's, persoonlijke getuigenissen van vluchtelingen en hulpverleners, brieven, dagboekfragmenten maken deze bittere volksverhuizing pijnlijk concreet. Een overrompelend tijdsdocument.

Love cooking! Gezondig koken met Stephanie Coorevits

Stephanie Coorevits' keuken is een synthese van haar twee grootste liefdes: die voor eten en de liefde voor haar Cypriotische man Simeon. Kort gezegd gaat dit boek over 'gezondig eten', een balans vinden tussen enerzijds wat goed is voor ons lichaam en anderzijds wat misschien niet écht goed is maar toch té lekker om volledig van het menu te schrappen. Over durven experimenteren met dingen die minder bekend zijn en je dagelijkse kost een vleugje exotiek meegeven. Maar het gaat vooral over heerlijk eten. Stephanie's weekgerechten zijn koolhydraatarm, rijk aan groenten, heel voedzaam en ze helpen je om dat Hollywood-lichaam te krijgen waar je altijd van gedroomd hebt. Maar daarnaast wil je natuurlijk ook vooral genieten van de goede dingen die het leven te bieden heeft. Daarom zijn er ook weekendgerechten. Recepten voor een ontspannende zondagse brunch, hapjes voor vrienden of gewoon om jezelf eens te verwennen. Misschien niet altijd ultragezond maar je zal er nu ook weer niet meteen van doodvallen. Haar Cypriotische man Simeon liet haar kennismaken met een hele nieuwe culinaire wereld. De Cypriotische keuken is een boeiende verzameling van Mediterraanse, Arabische en Midden-Oosterse invloeden en resulteert in gerechten die er kleurig uitzien en tegelijkertijd kruidig en fris smaken. De hoofdstukken in dit boek worden ingevuld met Stephanie's lievelingsproducten zoals spicy kruiden, Griekse yoghurt, tahin, aubergine, kaas, pompoen.

Behind the Green Door

Dominique Pieters e.a.

A Critical Look at Sustainable Architecture Through 600 Objects

De visie van het Antwerpse architectenbureau dmvA leest als een pamflet. Tom Verschueren en confrater David Driesen als revolutionairen te boek stellen is misschien een brug te ver, maar toch drukt dmvA architecten steeds meer en vooral een onuitwisbare stempel op de private en publieke architectuur in België. Het acroniem dmvA - door middel van Architectuur - dekt een ruime lading waarin 'maximaal minimalisme' misschien wel de gemene deler is. Het pragmatische-conceptueel minimalisme van dmvA is charmant, jeugdig en overweldigend. Hier geen gepolierde, uitgepuurde architectuur als levensloos niemandsland, maar in de eerste plaats geïntegreerde, praktische ruimtes zonder uitzondering gedefinieerd door sfeer en emoties. Voelen, ruiken, proeven,... de beleving primeert. Dmva architecten zet dan wel duidelijke krijtlijnen uit, het is de bewoner of gebruiker van de architectuur die steeds de hoofdrol speelt tegen die achtergrond. Het ontwerpproces is voor dmvA dan ook geen krampzachtig zoeken naar iets fundamenteel anders of nieuw, maar het zoeken naar nieuwe toepassingen voor wat al bestaat, meer dan eens met een knipoog naar context, typologie of historie. Dit boek gunt ons aan de hand van enkele opmerkelijke realisaties een blik op de wereld van dmvA architecten.

by Rotor .portrays the prevailing green wave in architecture and the many controversies that surround it. The book is enriched with comments from over 100 international experts. The book Behind the Green Door is a richly illustrated critical portrait of the concrete consequences and paradoxes of sustainability as a dominating paradigm within architecture and urban planning. Drawing on a one-year long investigation carried out for the Oslo Architecture Triennale, Rotor presents and contextualizes the 600 objects gathered for its main exhibition (building models, samples, specialized construction tools, campaign posters, footage of lobbyist gatherings, etc.). As a secondary layer of content, the book contains 300 short comments by prominent architects, critics and scholars from around the world. The publication is presented in an accessible, visual compelling and thought-provoking manner, and will interest engaged citizens, experts, practitioners, activists and politicians alike.

Young Belgian architects obviously show a renewed approach to

Oslo Architecture Triennale

architecture. While the elder generation grew up in a booming

economy in which there was time and money to endlessly study details, proportions and so to come to minimalistic design, the young ones are aware of nowadays needs. Lower budgets force them to approach projects with a fresh look. Among them Tom Verschueren and David Driesen, whose office dmvA has its seat in Mechelen. They achieve durability by respecting program, budget and context, and by displaying advanced ideas on the use of materials. dmvA is not focused on one particular style. They act like screenwriters, turn the program into a screenplay, spaces into sequences and so allow the building to each time tell another story. They don’t want to be profiled as mathematic theorists, but as designers whose motives are emotion, involvement, art and sex. Their work may be characterised as plastical, strongly detailed architecture in which maximalism has been accomplished in a minimalistic way.

Sustainable Houses Sustainability is without a doubt the future of architecture. Driven by necessity, as well as by a progressive and daring spirit, many architects are branching out in uncharted directions, designing efficient, autonomous energy systems or taking advantage of the properties in high-tech materials such as steel and glass for conserving energy. This volume is a careful selection of new projects by emerging architects which provide an interesting panorama of languages and techniques applied to the rich and dynamic field of sustainable architecture. This is an invaluable and up-todate resource on current sustainable design.

Elements of Architecture

O.M.A. - Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau

Rem Koolhaas

S,M,L,XL presents a selection of the remarkable visionary design work produced by the Dutch firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (O.M.A.) and its acclaimed founder, Rem Koolhaas, in its first twenty years, along with a variety of insightful, often poetic writings. The inventive collaboration between Koolhaas and designer Bruce Mau is a graphic overture that weaves together architectural projects, photos and sketches, diary excerpts, personal travelogues, fairy tales, and fables, as well as critical essays on contemporary architecture and society.

"A follow-up to Rem Koolhaas s iconic S, M, L, XL, this encyclopedic tome illustrates the research project lying behind the 14th International Architecture Biennale. The focus of this book is the evolution of the elements used by architects of every age throughout the history of architecture. Doors, windows, ceilings, floors, stairs,balconies, and other basic elements of architecture often overlooked but universally familiar are studied,analyzed, and cataloged by means of an endless variety of visual references, from ancient times to modern developments. By looking at the evolution of architectural elements that are common to all cultures, this exploration avoids the classical Eurocentrism that often still characterizes architectural discourse. National identity has seemingly been sacrificed to modernity. Nevertheless, unique national features and mentalities continue to exist and flourish just as international collaboration and exchange intensifies."

The book's title is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. While Small and Medium address issues ranging from the domestic to the public, Large focuses on what Koolhaas calls "the architecture of Bigness." Extra-Large features projects at the urban scale, along with the important essay "What Ever Happened to Urbanism?" and other studies of the contemporary city. Running throughout the book is a "dictionary" of an adventurous new Koolhaasian language -- definitions, commentaries, and quotes from hundreds of literary, cultural, artistic, and architectural sources.

About the Author Rem Koolhaas, winner of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Biennale Architettura 2010, and the Pritzker Prize in 2000, founded OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) in 1975 together with Elia and Zoe Zenghelis and Madelon Vriesendorp. Recently completed OMA buildings led by Koolhaas include the new headquarters for China Central Television in Beijing, a new headquarters for Rothschild Bank in London, the Wyly Theatre, Dallas, and Milstein Hall, an extension to Cornell's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.

INTERIOR DESIGN & LIFESTYLE

Behind closed doors Rob Meyers A collection of photographs of creative peoples' homes, taken by them. Through his varied contacts in the magazine and arts worlds, Rob Meyers, designer of the Wah Nails Book of Nail Art, sent a batch of disposable cameras out to a whole variety of artists, musicians, photographers and bloggers and asked if they would take pictures of the favourite parts of their home. The only rule: they had to photograph the contents of their fridge. Much to his surprise, many people sent back a full camera. The result is a unique, intimate insight into the homes (and fridges) of some of the world's most interesting people. Wander around the house of Courtney Love, Martha Stewart, Jeremy Scott, Daphne Guinness, Gilbert and George, Tavi Gevinson and more. Get an insight into how they live, the parts of their home that best define them, and what they like to eat for supper. Behind Closed Doors is an amazing journey into incredible homes.

Diptych

Designing Here/Now

New Window x Lex Pott

Insight into the Contemporary Practice of Design via the Core77 Design Awards

Diptych features new work from designer Lex Pott. Eight new wooden products - which came about through a collaboration between the designer and New Window - are beautifully illustrated in this book.

Edited by Allan Chochinov and Eric Ludlum Design touches every aspect of our lives and has become one of the most exciting and fast-moving industries, enlivening businesses, stimulating economies and solving humanitys most pressing problems. Increasingly connected to the developments in technology, design has also become one of the most dynamic areas of exploration, with design schools and professions exploding across the globe. It is difficult to keep pace with the most relevant innovations, to detect the signal from the noise of product releases and marketing campaigns, but one arbiter of the profession has been presenting the design worlds best work since 1995: Core77, a platform that some consider one of the very first online magazines, sponsoring reviews, lectures and exhibitions, and working with many of the leading design agencies and design-led companies, such as Apple, Nike, Philips, DuPont, Braun and many others. For the past several years, it has hosted a unique set of design awards, juried by the worlds design experts, which has attracted a dazzling spectrum of international practices. From consumer products to speculative ventures, from transportation to visual communication, from design writing to food design, the entrants and winners of the Core77 Design Awards capture the spirit and preoccupations of the design industry, and the best work chosen by panels of jury members that include design luminaries from the U.S., Europe, India and China. Designing Here/Now is no ordinary survey of the current state of design: it offers a large- scale overview of how design can change our personal and professional lives in fresh and often unexpected ways.

Most products begin their life cycle as a sketch. The designer lends form to an idea and goes on to refine this crystallised concept. Material, finish and colour follow later. Very few designers approach their work in the way that Lex Pott does. He has a fondness for wood and metal and enjoys letting their properties guide his work. Instead of dictating the form of an object, he lets it emerge organically from the material he is using. Pott's approach of zooming-in on a material, thereby uncovering its essence, is very much in sync with the philosophy behind the initiative New Window - started by cultural initiator Woes van Haaften - and therefore Pott was the ideal first participant. New Window is an online platform and design label that gives an insight into the making process of art and design. New Window - that centres on Van Haaften's collaboration with various designers - explains where things come from, who made them, why and how. This makes it a very contemporary project: it documents a process. The focus is on neither the end product nor the designer. For New Window, Pott drew inspiration from Dutch pine. While experimenting with this softwood, he discovered that the annual growth rings are separated from one another by a softer material. By sandblasting the timber and removing this material, he exposed the unique patterns that lie hidden in every tree. Only then did Pott begin to consider functionality. What can you make out of pieces of wood featuring whimsical, lattice-like patterns? Pott created eight products, among others a room divider, a set of combs and a cabinet. The series of products were given the name Diptych.

The entire process of the collaboration between New Window and Lex Pott, from the first moment of inspiration until the final outcome, is now beautifully captured in the book Diptych. This book will encourage designers who struggle with materials and satisfy the curiosity of every consumer who wants to know how products are made.

Identity colour codes

Think in Colour

Identity Colour Codes is the 100% visual result of a thorough study into corporate and social identity. Corporate identities are traditionally based on exclusiveness and their symbols are privately owned. However, in these times of social media, open source and open design, it is the more generic and public domain elements that shape social identities.

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.

Always Be Yourself. Unless You Can Be a Unicorn. Then Always Be a Unicorn. Pernille Kok-Jensen, Els Dragt Why do all the young ladies in my neighbourhood have turquoise hair? Is Seapunk a kind of sushi or a new rock band? Should I be worried about the fact that teens seem to believe in unicorns? Is Tumblr like Facebook for creatives? What's the point of blogs like POHTPOF? Is it already lame again to say YOLO? And do I need to learn how to TWERK? You know the saying, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet? The young generation is called all sorts of things; Generation Y, Millennials, Generation Einstein, Digital Natives, Gypsies. Rather than playing the name game, we take a look behind the ironic printed t-shirts.

This book dives into the brave new world of a young and new generation to help you answer some of these questions. It is not an easily digestible description of an entire generation of young adults. An attempt at this would be insulting and disrespectful. Instead, it provides a snapshot of some of the characteristics that the young ones of today embody. They are bold, dreamy and unfazed by the grim context in which they're coming of age. Or are they? They've got mad digital skills, great style, and a superheroesque outlook on life. Oh, and they all want to be unicorns, so often that's just what we'll call them.

Consider it a guide to help you become millennial proof and maybe even understand your teenage kid, your Twittering pupils, your Instagramming girlfriend, your new hip employee or the next customer that walks through your door. And all the Unicorns out there, perhaps you could buy the book for your parents so that they will understand that you are in fact not a freak but a part of a greater movement.

the Art of Godmachine

A Love Letter to the City

By Godmachine

Stephen Powers

A true original that bleeds passion with every stroke.

Steve Powers and a team of sign painters worked in west Philadelphia in 2009 to paint a love letter meant for one, but with meaning for all. After six months of community meetings and six months of painting, fifty walls painted with the give and take of relationships now greet 10,000 commuters daily. The Love Letter to the City arose out of similar sign projects in Coney Island (2003) and Dublin (2007). Its success has led Powers to realise similar projects in Syracuse, NY; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Brooklyn, NY and Johannesburg, South Africa. While the surfaces and conditions varied greatly, the method of work has remained the same: translate conversation with the community into public communication in the community.

Godmachine is a powerhouse. This lavishly produced art book is the first ever collection of the unique and ground breaking art of one of the UKs leading cult artists. Twisted Dark Fantasy, Modern Heavy Metal, New School Tattoo, Horror.Godmachine has blazed the trail and although many artists have followed his path Godmachine is the original and he remains unique, his illustrative style stands alone.he is simply the best at what he does. The book showcases many of his best art pieces, sketches and through many quotes taken from interviews the book gives insight into the mind and humour of the artist himself. In The Art of Godmachine you will see the artist who is at the peak of his powers and who is revered by his contemporaries. This book will inspire you and its power will stay with you

Weapons of Mass Diplomacy

The Cigar that Fell in Love with a Pipe

By Abel Lanzac and Christophe Blain

Featuring Orson Welles & Rita Hayworth

A tale of French diplomacy, Ancient Greek divinities, and the seemingly intractable problems of the Middle East, Weapons of Mass Diplomacy is an internationally bestselling, award-winning graphic novel that provides a profound, informed, and often very funny portrait of how "stuff happens" behind the closed doors of the Quai d'Orsay.

David Camus & Nick Abadzis On the eve of the release of his latest movie, The Lady From Shanghai, Orson Welles receives a gift: an admirer has sent him a box of cigars. Rich and full-bodied, they are the finest he's ever tasted. But then, these are no ordinary cigars: they've been assembled by the most famous cigar roller in Cuba, Conchita Marquez. It is an exquisite gift, though one not appreciated by Orson's wife, Rita Hayworth.

Chock full of art taken directly from the source, this massive tome is a must for Simpsons fans and the perfect way to celebrate The Simpsons' 25th anniversary.

The Simpson family is often described as being “dysfunctional,” but it would be more accurate to say that in their quarter century of existence they have proven to be multifunctional, capable of Shakespearean wit, possessors of numerous and impressive talents and skills, paragons of emotional intelligence and vastly knowledgeable about virtually everything. The Simpsons Family History tells the story of this typical, but also completely remarkable, family—rites of passage, milestones, achievements, travels (in space and time), genealogy and more. This large-format, richly illustrated book is the ultimate family album. It is also the first Simpsons book to pay tribute to the extraordinary visual artistry that has made The Simpsons the most consistently entertaining, enlightening and inventive show in the history of television

In 2014, The Simpsons will have been on the air for 25 years. It is the longest running American sitcom, the longest running animated series and the longest running primetime, scripted television series. In any list of the world’s leading families, the Simpsons would stand out.
