Abstract

With prestigious loans from the National Gallery London, the Prado Museum and the Louvre among others, the exhibition Blood & Tears. Albrecht Bouts and the Image of the Passion brings together for the first time exceptional works from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Albrecht Bouts (1451/55-1549) is the son of Dirk Bouts (ca. 1415-1475), a renowned Early Netherlandish painter with a pan-European reputation. He takes over his father's workshop in 1475 and runs it until his death in 1549. Albrecht specializes in portraits of Christ, the Holy Virgin and Saint John the Baptist for contemplation. This movement, known as Devotio Moderna, encourages the faithful to pray in private in front of devotional images to stimulate empathy. In order to satisfy a growing demand for such images, Albrecht Bout's workshop expands into a large enterprise, producing paintings in great number. While some are based on famous prototypes by Dirk Bouts, Albrecht creates a number of successful new compositions. Exhibition: Musée National d'Histoire et d'Art, Luxembourg City, Luxemburg (07.10.2016-12.02.2017) / Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, Aachen, Germany (08.03.-11.06.2017).

Abstract

Some artworks do something to you. They leave you feeling bereft, give you new insights, offer a new way of seeing things, make you happy, hopeful or despairing. This was true in the past, and it remains true today. It is this universal experience that art brings about that is the subject of the exhibition 'Encounters/Ontmoetingen'. KMSKA-curator Paul Vandenbroeck has selected a hundred works from all over the world, from early antiquity to the present day, by well-known and lesser-known artists, from paintings and sculptures to video, installations and textiles. 'Encounters/Ontmoetingen' is not a conventional exhibition. You need no prior knowledge before you walk in. On the contrary, the most important thing is to enter the MAS without preconceptions, and let the art speak for itself. The works are not exhibited according to traditional categories, but grouped into intuitive clusters: sometimes on the basis of aesthetic conventions, sometimes on the basis of a tension between works of diverse origins. The exhibition starts from the notion that art, separately from any idea, thought or belief, has the capacity to touch you, even if you have no idea who the artist is and where the work comes from. To keep the experience pure, there is no text or explanation accompanying the exhibits. All you get as a spectator is the names of the works and the artists. Exhibition: MAS Museum aan de Stroom, Antwerp, Belgium (19.05.-20.08.2017).

Abstract

This book explores the emergence of Greek tragedy on the American stage from the nineteenth century to the present. Despite the gap separating the world of classical Greece from our own, Greek tragedy has provided a fertile source for some of the most innovative American theater. Helene P. Foley shows how plays like Oedipus Rex and Medea have resonated deeply with contemporary concerns and controversies-over war, slavery, race, the status of women, religion, identity, and immigration. Although Greek tragedy was often initially embraced for its melodramatic possibilities, by the twentieth century it became a vehicle not only for major developments in the history of American theater and dance, but also for exploring critical tensions in American cultural and political life. Drawing on a wide range of sources-archival, video, interviews, and reviews-Reimagining Greek Tragedy on the American Stage provides the most comprehensive treatment of the subject available.

Abstract

From our first social bonding as infants to the funeral rites that mark our passing, music plays an important role in our lives, bringing us closer to one another. In The Music between Us, philosopher Kathleen Marie Higgins investigates this role, examining the features of human perception that enable music's uncanny ability to provoke, despite its myriad forms across continents and throughout centuries, the sense of a shared human experience. Drawing on disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, musicology, linguistics, and anthropology, Higgin
