Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. memymom is the motherdaughter artistic collaboration of Marilene Coolens and Lisa De Boeck. Their transgenerational project, which first emerged in the 1990s, consists of intimate archives and family photos where Marilene urges her daughter Lisa to express and invent herself by improvising her own theatrical scenes. Since 2004, the protagonists have worked together behind and in front of the lens, simultaneously photographer and model. Over the years, memymom's dreamlike, partly directed portraits have matured into a conversation about metamorphosis, personal identity, potential, as well as a plea for sensual analysis and tragic romanticism, as irrefutably illustrated in their latest series Somewhere Under the Rainbow.In this book, which is the culmination and prolongation of their recent work, the two artists disclose the way in which their themes and visual language have remained constant over the past 30 years, while simultaneously evolving fascinatingly in terms of aesthetics and content, through recurring references and reflections. This exhibition also provides an opportunity to see how the inclusion of an assorted group of other people, each playing a different role, has always been part of their artistic process.Text in English and French. memymom is the motherdaughter artistic collaboration of Marilene Coolens and Lisa De Boeck.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Royal Museum for Central Africa, in Tervuren, Belgium, was founded in 1898, but its current building was inaugurated in 1910 and is characterised by many symbols reflecting the colonial propaganda of the time. The grand rotunda, designed to serve as the museum entrance, plays host to a series of statues that are strong examples of such imagery, reflecting fundamentally racist stereotypes.Between 2013 and 2018, the RMCA underwent a major renovation that saw a substantial redesign of the permanent exhibition, with the involvement of members of the African diaspora in Belgium. A major challenge of the renovation was to demonstrate the will to decolonise a listed building that is legally protected against changes. As removal of the colonial statues was not allowed, the museum was forced to find innovative solutions, notably by inviting contemporary African artists to create installations to dialogue, contrast, and discuss with colonial messages.Congolese artist Aime Mpane was chosen to make such an installation in the rotunda in 2018 with New breath, or Burgeoning Congo. Public reaction helped the AfricaMuseum realise that it needed to go further. Along with the creation of a second sculpture, Aime Mpane, in co-creation with Belgian artist Jean Pierre Mueller, proposed the RE/STORE project: a permanent installation of transparent veils, each bearing a contemporary message, hung in front of every statue in the rotunda. The themes addressed in this collection of veils interact with the viewer in a powerful and eloquent manner.This richly illustrated book is a compilation of texts written by renowned experts about the history of the rotunda and its statues, as well as the semantic and artistic analysis of RE/STORE, providing a full catalogue of the installations, sculptures, and veils.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In Richard Deacon's solo exhibition Some Time, a refabricated version of his sculpture Never Mind takes pride of place among more than twenty-five other works.

Now, after a period of critical reflection and discussion with the artist himself, what he calls a 'refabrication' has taken place. Follow the artist and the museum's quest for an innovative, sustainable solution to the renewal of (or variation on) a monumental sculpture that offers a potentially new line of approach for the future.This book not only represents the Some Time exhibition, but thanks to its diversity of material, ranging from original sketches and intimate correspondence to construction photos from the workshop and installation shots, it also gives a unique insight into Deacon's working process.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Music For The Deaf II is the second book by concert photographer Koen Keppens. His first book Music For The Deaf was published in 2010, exactly 10 years ago. Koen Keppens (1967, Dendermonde) is a photographer with an undying love for music. He has been shooting musicians for more than 30 years. In the summer of 1996, he became the first photographer of "Go for music", a team that reports online and live from Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop. Keppens has developed a very idiosyncratic style throughout the years. This culminates in the publication of Music For The Deaf in 2010, putting him on the map as one of the most distinct music photographers active today. The book, collecting the best of 20 years of music photography, receives rapturous reviews and underscores how different and unique Keppens' body of work is. And how unfair it is that he has remained under the radar for so long, for lack of a more prominent and visible medium as an outlet for his talent. 'Keppens belongs up there with the best of them', the prominent Dutch music magazine Oor states in its review. 'Most of all he calls to mind Rembrandt, with his deft use of light (and shade as well), and with a knack for capturing the most unique facial expressions.' Keppens' work has been published in Focus Knack and Humo, and he is one of the resident photographers for Rock Wercher.Text in English and Dutch.

Larger firms buy small, authentic companies, the small companies that want to keep doing what they do, and don't want to be bought by larger firms, struggle to compete, eventually they disappear.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. During 1889, Belgian artist James Ensor (1860-1949) painted a monumental canvas that would be his magnum opus: The Entry of Christ into Brussels in 1889.The work is one of the most complex paintings ever painted. It was only40 years after its completion that the monumental canvas was firstpublicly exhibited at the James Ensor retrospective at the BrusselsPalais des Beaux-Arts in 1929. Needless to say, therefore, that theexhibiting of Ensor's work in 1929 was for many a revelation. Until thenit had been seen and was known only to a limited group of visitors andinsiders.Between 1889 and 1929, a veritable revolution had takenplace in the visual arts. Before and during World War I, Fauvism,Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, and Dadaism all came into being. Fewexplanations can accommodate the full daring and frenzy of such apainting which chaotic composition and barbaric style seemrevolutionary, and look far beyond the early 20th century. Since thepurchase of the work in 1987 by the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), The Entry has acquired cult status. No other work depicts the notion of belgitude so aptly as The Entry of Christ into Brussels in 1889,and yet the painting can in the first place be regarded as a somewhatquirky but striking representation of Ensor's vision of humanity.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. During 1889, Belgian artist James Ensor (1860-1949) painted a monumental canvas that would be his magnum opus: The Entry of Christ into Brussels in 1889.The work is one of the most complex paintings ever painted. It was only40 years after its completion that the monumental canvas was firstpublicly exhibited at the James Ensor retrospective at the BrusselsPalais des Beaux-Arts in 1929. Needless to say, therefore, that theexhibiting of Ensor's work in 1929 was for many a revelation. Until thenit had been seen and was known only to a limited group of visitors andinsiders.Between 1889 and 1929, a veritable revolution had takenplace in the visual arts. Before and during World War I, Fauvism,Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, and Dadaism all came into being. Fewexplanations can accommodate the full daring and frenzy of such apainting which chaotic composition and barbaric style seemrevolutionary, and look far beyond the early 20th century. Since thepurchase of the work in 1987 by the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles), The Entry has acquired cult status. No other work depicts the notion of belgitude so aptly as The Entry of Christ into Brussels in 1889,and yet the painting can in the first place be regarded as a somewhatquirky but striking representation of Ensor's vision of humanity. A monograph on James Ensor's The Entry of Christ into Brussels in 1889, a forerunner of 20th Century Expressionism Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In Richard Deacon's solo exhibition Some Time, a refabricated version of his sculpture Never Mind takes pride of place among more than twenty-five other works. Over time, the original sculpture, made in 1993, proved to be incompatible with the natural environment of an open-air museum. Now, after a period of critical reflection and discussion with the artist himself, what he calls a 'refabrication' has taken place. Follow the artist and the museum's quest for an innovative, sustainable solution to the renewal of (or variation on) a monumental sculpture that offers a potentially new line of approach for the future.This book not only represents the Some Time exhibition, but thanks to its diversity of material, ranging from original sketches and intimate correspondence to construction photos from the workshop and installation shots, it also gives a unique insight into Deacon's working process. At the same time, it provides a moment of critical reflection from the perspectives of the various authors who have contributed to it.Text in English and Dutch.
