Abstract

An artist of international renown based in Belgium, Koen Vanmechelen has centered his work on the relation between nature and culture throughout the course of an almost forty-year-long journey. Acclaimed for his exploration of the intersections between art and science, the artist tries, through his projects, to understand and pose questions on the great challenges of the 21st century.&#13;Presented here are more than sixty-five pieces – which were all realized between 1982 and 2019 – intended to highlight the more strictly plastic aspects of this artist’s body of work, with particular regard to his neo-baroque disposition. Vanmechelen’s imagination is nurtured by iconographic repetitions and semantic accumulations, on metaphors and metamorphoses, on theatrics and allegories, all in order to create a protean visual universe of powerful emotional impact, all trodden in its extension by the very energy of life as much as by the exuberance of the creative gesture.

Abstract

Exactly 100 years ago, the first women were allowed to participate in regular art courses at the Berliner Kunstakademie. While such a late date is no cause for celebration, it nonetheless offers the opportunity to consider the works of these women painters and sculptors, who triumphed against adversity to break into the art world and succeeded in having their works included in the Nationalgalerie's collection. Among them are Sabine Lepsius's self-conscious self-portrait, Maria Slavona's impressionistic view of the houses of Montmartre, and Caroline Bardua's spectacular paintings. Even more than the painters, the sculptors encountered opposition to their artistic activities. The powerful works of the German-American sculptor Elisabeth Ney and the Berlin artists Käthe Kollwitz and Renée Sintenis gave the lie to such prejudices. Alongside these well-known names, the exhibition also invites visitors to discover lesser known figures, some of whom are being shown in the Alte Nationalgalerie for the first time. Exhibition: Alte Nationalgalerie Berlin, Germany (11.10.2019 - 08.03.2020).

Abstract

Published to accompany a remarkable 2019 display at Tate Modern, this book will examine the full career of Hungarian artist Dora Maurer (b.1937), spanning over four decades of her experimental practice from the 1970s to the present. From her early graphic works, photographs and films, to her 'displacement' canvases and most recent large-scale paintings which explore how geometric forms are affected by colour and colour perception, this publication will reveal Maurer's persistent experimentation with production processes and her innovative take on traditional techniques. The show will introduce aspects of Maurer's early practice including graphic works, serial photographic works and structural films from the 1970s and 1980s. Maurer trained in graphic techniques, and in her graphic works she often examines the movement of markings left by different materials and production processes. Her works, be they photographs, graphic work or films, share a preoccupation with structure, relativity of perception and exploration of the medium's limits. Essay include an introductory overview by Tate curator Juliet Bingham; Klara Kemp-Welch examines Maurer's early works and pedagogical activities between 1975-7; Carly Whitefield writes on the artist's film works and the state-run Balazs Bela Studio; and David Feher surveys Maurer's practice from the 1980s to the present day

Abstract

This book -- the fruit of a lengthy research project, which has allowed us to gather and organize coherent sets of material that reflect the timeline of René Heyvaert (1928?1984)?s artistic experimentations -- aims to show, for the first time, a significant selection of his mail art. His mail art is linked to his generally multiform oeuvre -- which retains, given that he was originally an architect, an overt material and spatial relation to its environment -- as well as to his vital circumstances: his gradually deteriorating health, and the loneliness that fed his epistolary vocation.

Abstract

'Labyrinth' takes us on a walk through the spaces constructed within the pages of the book and visualises a world in which the exit can't be found. With the morphology of the house (windows, doors, steps and curtains) and the theatre (curtains, stage, perspective), a world is evoked in which nothing can serve as a point of reference. The experience is similar to surfing on the internet, scrolling through instagram, unfolding the gallery map of Art Brussels or shopping in a French supermarket. Christophe Van Gerrewey has written a text that actually creates an imbroglio. All images in the book are woodcuts and printed in letterpress on a Heidelberg KS.
