Abstract

Kim Buck uses well-known jewellery motifs such as hearts, signet rings and crosses as a point of departure, but the materials can be anything from precious metals to found objects and ready-mades. With surprising combinations, wordplay and a touch of irony, he questions the conventions of the jewellery business as well as the way national and religious symbols are used and abused.

The issues raised by his jewellery and objects reach far beyond the jewellery field itself, disrupting our cultural habits and understanding of the self.

Abstract

Warum führte Joseph Beuys seine Aktion EURASIENSTAB in Wien auf? Wären 7000 Eichen auch hier gepflanzt worden? Und wieso sollte im Palais Liechtenstein ständig nasse Wäsche hängen? - Den Beziehungen von Joseph Beuys zur österreichischen Hauptstadt, seinen dort aufgeführten Aktionen, eingerichteten Rauminstallationen, Ausstellungen, Vorträgen und Diskussionsrunden wird in dieser Publikation zum einhundertsten Geburtstag des wegweisenden Künstlers nachgegangen. Beuys hat mit dem erweiterten Kunstbegriff nicht nur die Kunst nach 1945 maßgeblich geprägt, auch heute ist sein Werk von ungebrochener Aktualität.

Abstract

Colombian anthropologist and artist Juan Pablo Plazas is fascinated by the ability of people and communities to interpret the world in different ways. In his practice, he starts from everyday objects and raw materials that have special material or formal properties. With wonder and a sense of humour, he takes them out of their ordinary context, turns them into sculptures or gives them a role in a performance. Through this action, Plazas breaks through the ‘dead normal’ and invites us to understand objects as animated, living matter.

Abstract

On the occasion of the exhibition, the Verbeke Foundation publishes a book about Albert Szukalski (1945-2000). With more than a hundred assemblages, sculptures, collages, drawings and paintings, we pay attention to the oeuvre of this still largely unknown artist who was one of the most original figures of the Antwerp art scene in the 1970s. Not for nothing did he call himself the “situation maker”, true heir to the Dadaist and surrealist spirit. Szukalski had a playful and impulsive approach to the art of assembly and followed no trends – each piece is a story in itself. Szukalski embodies dreams, and as Frank Heirman sums it up: «he managed to evoke a strange, sometimes macabre situation with everyday objects». Attention is paid to his early and little-known assemblages and to his collaboration with galleries such as Multi-Art, The Black Panther and the Pink Poets group. Over the years, Szukalski has made hundreds of variations on the ghost theme, from poetic to humorous works. A wide range of ghosts from different periods are explained, notably three of his very first spirits made in 1971, called L’entourage du vide or “The Outline of the Void,” which demonstrate the artist’s obsession with making the elusive visible.

Abstract

Explore two essential textile-art concepts with leading artist Shelley Rhodes. Fragmentation and repair are two of the biggest buzzwords in textile and mixedmedia art, and in this fascinating and beautiful book renowned textile artist Shelley Rhodes explores both concepts, with a wealth of fresh ideas, practical advice and inspiring examples from her own work and from embroiderers around the world, including Debbie Lyddon and Alice Fox. Fragmentation lies at the heart of Shelley's work, and she shows how she deconstructs and reassembles cloth, paper and objects to create new pieces, incorporating found objects and materials she has collected over the years to add a personal note. She covers using salvaged and recycled materials, repurposing household items, and methods of distressing and manipulating surfaces by burning, piercing, rust-dyeing and even composting. She also shows how larger pieces of work can be cut up and the components worked on individually to form a series of smaller works with strong visual impact. Special attention is given to darning and patching, traditionally seen simply as ways to prolong the life of garments but now appreciated as meaningful and decorative techniques in their own right, and Shelley also investigates the Japanese concepts of wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) and mottainai (using every last scrap), both of which constantly inform her work. This beautifully illustrated book is the ideal companion for any textile artist wanting to bring notions of fragility, fragmentation and repair into their own work.
