Abstract

Published to coincide with Berlinde De Bruyckere's participation in the 2013 Biennale di Venezia, this catalogue is the result of an extraordinary encounter between the Flemish artist and the writer J.M. Coetzee. De Bruyckere - a major figure in the contemporary art scene - found passion and fierce beauty in the unpublished writings of the acclaimed South African writer. The publication is also graced with a contribution by the Belgian writer Herman Parret. His magnificent explorations lead us to the discovery of a central figure in the history of the Venetian Republic: Saint Sebastian. Venice's quintessential symbol embodies the dual incarnation of sensuality and mystical suffering, an allegory for love and passion. The saint takes on particularly significance in relation to Berlinde De Bruyckere's work, on display at the Belgian pavilion. Exhibition: 2013 Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy (1.6.-24.11.2013).
