Abstract

Une tapisserie de Jeff Wall ? Des panneaux Sol LeWitt ? S’agit-il d’une nouvelle promotion Target? En fait, ces œuvres ne sont pas destinées à la vente au grand public, mais font partie de la philosophie de l’architecte Charles Vandenhove consistant à intégrer le travail d’autres artistes dans ses propres conceptions. Et c’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles il a acquis une telle renommée et une telle renommée, que ce soit pour un nouveau design (le Théâtre des Abbesses à Paris) ou l’un de ses nombreux projets de rénovation (Théâtre de la Monnaie à Bruxelles). Lambris (poinçon de Vandenhove) retravaillés par LeWitt, Marthe Wéry et Jacques Charlier ; tapisseries conçues par Luc Tuymans ainsi que Jeff Wall ; dessins de Daniel Buren et Patrick Corillon : Chaque œuvre d’art trouve une place dans l’architecture de Vandenhove, créant une interaction délibérée entre les disciplines. Ou, comme il le dit lui-même : « Comme à l’époque de la Renaissance, je voudrais que le travail des artistes soit en ligne avec le mien ; J’aimerais que l’un ne puisse pas exister sans l’autre. »

Abstract

Naum Gabo (1890–1977), whose eventful life took him from his native Russia to Berlin, Paris, London, and finally the United States, achieved renown as one of the most inventive and controversial figures in twentieth-century sculpture. This book is the first comprehensive account of Gabo’s life, career, and artistic theory and practice. Martin Hammer and Christina Lodder explore in detail the evolution of the artist’s work and his aesthetic concerns, creative processes, assimilation of such new materials as plastic, and approach to public sculpture. The authors also examine his response to the scientific and political revolutions of his age and trace the origins and development of Gabo’s utopian conviction that Constructivist art was profoundly in tune with modernity, social progress, and advances in science and technology. Drawing on Gabo’s extensive and largely unpublished archives of letters, diaries, notebooks, models, and sketchbooks, Hammer and Lodder discuss the sculptor’s work in the context of his relations with other avant-garde artists, architects, and critics, including his brother Antoine Pevsner. They also situate his aesthetic theory and practice within the Constructivist movement and the wider tradition of twentieth-century art, and they examine Gabo’s accomplishments in each of the diverse milieus in which he worked. Martin Hammer is senior lecturer in the Department of Fine Art at the University of Edinburgh. Christina Lodder is professor, School of Art History, University of St. Andrews. She is the author of Russian Constructivism, published by Yale University Press.

Abstract

From a dovecot in the Dutch village of Dorst to the Concert Hallin Bruges, from an art gallery in Whitechapel to the City Archives of Bordeaux, the oeuvre on which Robbrecht en Daem Architects has worked since its foundation in 1975 has developed a variety and maturity that stands out on the international stage. This insightful book tells the story of Paul Robbrecht, Johannes Robbrecht, and Hilde Daem from the 1980s: their research and interests, their "lost souls," and their successes. Drawing on new and unpublished visual material, a picture and project accordion shows a wide selection of 63 projects that are divided into five key themes from different perspectives.

Abstract

Trained as an architect, between 2008 and 2016 Olivier Goethals worked for the Belgian office of De Vylder Vinck Taillieu. Yet during that time he also embarked on a kind of odyssey to explore the age-old distinctions between art and architecture. The result is ‘Play Sincerely’, a personal credo and concept borrowed from the philosopher Alan Watts. The book offers an overview of Goethals’s many and varied activities – everything from writing poems and designing scenographies to programming gifs, giving lectures, sculpting objects, and filling notebooks. Goethals enjoys keeping it positive and simple, exactly in order to preserve and celebrate the complexity of things. With an introduction by Christophe Van Gerrewey, and a Q&A with Olivier Goethals and Bernardo Kastrup

Abstract

Trying' is a retrospective publication about the oeuvre of Spanish artist Lopez Menchero, focussing on his artistic practice of the past 25 years. Between 2000 and 2002, the work of Belgian born Lopez Menchero was included in solo and group presentations in major Belgian institutions like Middelheim Museum, M HKA, CC Strombeek, D'Hondt-Dhaenens and S.M.A.K. By implication, these and other experiences motivated creating this book, which serves as a printed memory that documents and illustrates a selection of exhibitions, artistic realisations and public performances. Conceptually, the book is based on a statement by which Lopez considers each of his actions a test against reality, an 'attempt'. Within this context the title of each project in the book is consequently preceded by the prefx 'Trying to -'; 'Trying to situate', 'Trying to light up', 'Trying to question'. By trying to infltrate daily context, Lopez Menchero aims to generate new situations, confront with reality and contemplate on the meaning of art. Included in the book are essays and texts by Luk Lambrecht, Hans Theys and Koen Synghel.

Abstract

Gianni Pettena (born 1940, Bolzano, Italy) was a central figure in research regarding the boundary between architecture and art in the later 1960s - a movement Germano Celant dubbed "radical architecture." Together with the Florentine groups Archizoom, Superstudio, and UFO, and Turinese groups like the Gruppo Strum, Pettena helped expand and redefine the limits of what could be described as architecture, making a fundamental contribution to the ferment that animated, at an international level, city planning debates in those years. Independently of his fellow radicals in Florence, Pettena took an anarchic and ironic attitude toward authority, whether exercised in politics, progress, or planning. Through an extraordinary variety of means, including installation, performance, photography, video, and design, he has remained "on strike out of his love of architecture" for more than fifty years. Rather than practice the discipline, he has chosen to challenge it through the language of art, critical and expository writing, and the medium of teaching. Within a practice filled with implications, attention to a respectful relationship with nature and its resources has been a constant characteristic of his work, and remains a crucial lesson in the context of the current environmental crisis.
