Abstract

La dernière tentation des Belges volgt Jan, een provocerende kunstenaar die wisselend succes heeft gehad met zijn kunst, vrouwen en zijn vele pogingen om de wereld te veranderen. Zijn enige dochter, Marie, verwijt hem dat hij in haar jeugd een afwezige vader was, die altijd in gekke avonturen verwikkeld was. Vandaag, aan de rand van een afgrond, hebben ze veel te bespreken.

Abstract

We live in hysterical times. Even when the world came to a screeching halt and the apocalypse did not announce itself with "lightning and thunder" or "archangel trumpets", but through the silence of empty streets and lives treamed funerals, we were flooded with interpretations, opinions, soundbites, convoluted powerpoints and, as if things were not bad enough already, a newly invigorated moralism disguised in the prêt-à-porter rags of Art. It was supposed to be a time of introspection but when the smog had cleared, we discovered there was no revolution in the air and yet we called our despair hope to mask our powerlessness. But amidst this turmoil of timeliness, we seemed to have forgotten this most untimely of all human endeavors; laughter. [...] Using the formalistic conventions of an ironic heritage, he nevertheless attains the expression of something sincere. Like the philosophical idiot who did his utmost best to unlearn all the fallacies he was acquitted with since birth and now only knows he knows nothing, the artist made the world into his own theatre wherein he can stump around like a bull in a china shop with the grace of a prima ballerina. Forcing a pathway to possible exits by presenting us with the alloy of his observations, imagination and scattershot references. Not merely asking questions, which seems to be the hype in contemporary art nowadays, he is unraveling the framework wherein these questions originate. The image deconstructed by the story of its creation. Alternating between the power and impotence of the theatrical madness at the end of the world as we know it William Ludwig Lutgens presents with his Comedy of Humours the dysfunctional family of man. (Extract out of text by Michaël Van Remoortere) Exhibition: De Garage, Mechelen, Belgium (18.03.-29.05.2022).

Abstract

Since her arrival in New York from her native Louisiana in the late 1960s, Lynda Benglis gained recognition for creating a groundbreaking body of work that challenged sculpture and painting conventions in a largely male-dominated art world. A tireless explorer of new shape and materials, Benglis's gestural and formal approach to art-making has, over the years, elevated her to iconic status, her work being evidence of how process can wield pliant matter and let it 'take its own form'.

Abstract

Sawing a plank is like going for a walk by Kato Six (b. 1986) is published on the occasion of Kato's solo exhibition at M Leuven this autumn. This book encapsulates 10 years of her quest as an artist.The work of Kato Six (b. 1986) balances between abstract and figurative art. She works on different themes which she develops into series or ensembles. Architecture, design, domesticity and utensils all act as important references. Starting there, she uses recognisable and everyday materials such as MDF, stone, plastic or textiles. Kato wants to question certain affinities and let the viewer look at familiar objects or images from a different perspective. As a viewer, you feel connected to the object or image but the actual meaning or function no longer applies.

Abstract

Joan Miró. De essentie van voorbije en aanwezige dingen is het eerste belangrijke overzicht in België van Miró's artistieke productie in meer dan 65 jaar. De tentoonstelling verkent het werk van de Catalaanse kunstenaar, parallel met zijn traditionele artistieke vorming en zijn levenslange verhouding tot de kunst van het verleden. Deze actieve belangstelling omvatte primitivisme, romaanse kunst, de Italiaanse en Nederlandse renaissance, Japanse schilderkunst en kalligrafie, en de Hollandse Gouden Eeuw, maar ook modernistische stromingen zoals fauvisme en kubisme. In het licht van Miró's intentie om de schilderkunst te 'vermoorden' (zoals hij zei in 1927) - zijn zoektocht om de poëtische werkelijkheid over te brengen via absolute vrijheid, en de traditionele esthetiek en coventionele schildermethodes uit te dagen - verkent deze publicatie zijn voortdurend evoluerende relatie met (veeleer een loslaten van) de kunst van het verleden, waardoor ons begrip van zijn werk als geheel wordt verrijkt. Deze fraaie catalogus, die Miró's hele carrière overspant, bevat meer dan 150 kleurenreproducties van zijn artistieke werk. Daarvan werden voor deze tentoonstelling 100 stukken uitgeleend door prestigieuze internationale openbare en privéverzamelingen. Hij bevat eveneens reproducties van een rijke selectie van kunsthistorische boeken, prentbriefkaarten en objecten die aan Miró zelf toebehoorden, net als museumprentbriefkaarten die de kunstenaar tussen de laten jaren 1910 en de vroege jaren 1930 naar vrienden stuurde. Via dit alles kan de lezer de diepe intellectuele verfijning en de nauwkeurige werkprocessen ontdekken die aan de basis lagen van een van de grootste oeuvres uit de vroeg twintigste eeuwse kunst.

Abstract

À l'invitation de Fabienne Dumont, sept femmes artistes portent leurs regards sur l'œuvre d'Alice Neel (1900-1984), figure majeure et longtemps méconnue de la peinture nord-américaine, puissante portraitiste et artiste engagée. L'œuvre d'Alice Neel est marquée par son fort engagement politique et social. Elle réalise principalement des portraits et, à travers eux, elle peint avec réalisme toute la remarquable diversité de l'Amérique. Pour Transatlantique, l'historienne de l'art Fabienne Dumont réunit autour de cette œuvre incontournable sept regards d'artistes européennes. « Dès la préface, le ton est donné ; présentée avec clarté, simplicité et sans emphase la trajectoire d'Alice Neel dans le XXe siècle parvient à mettre en avant les zones de réflexion et d'interrogations de son rapport à des concepts qui pourraient la définir. À l'image de ce féminisme comme horizon problématique d'une vie aussi libre que marquée par les ambiguïtés, dégageant alors la nécessité de se départir de toute appréciation morale venant au secours de la publicité d'un œuvre qui n'en a pourtant pas besoin. Et c'est toute la force de ce petit ouvrage, réunissant des paroles d'artistes autour d'une peinture qui les a influencées ou, au contraire, découverte par la suite et dont le magnétisme révèle les liens secrets de filiation. Dépourvue d'images, cette parole de peintres trouve paradoxalement un intérêt passionnant dans sa restriction aux mots, aux lettres, voire à la lettre. [...] Peu importent support et médium, les plasticiennes échangent ici avec toute leur singularité et une émotion sensible les possibles de la communication et les ramifications infinies de l'œuvre et, sans se concerter, dévoilent une communauté de regards qui passe immanquablement par l'attention essentielle au pluriel. »

Abstract

A survey of Imran Mir's abstract and contemplative work, with fifteen essays. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Sedje Hémon. Imran Mir. Abdias Nascimento. Abstracting Parables", as part of the international Arnhem based art manifestation sonsbeek20→24, at Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, in 2022. Pakistani artist, sculptor, and designer Imran Mir's (1950-2014) oeuvre can be interpreted as a constant refusal to provide comprehensive elaboration beyond what one experiences. The act of contemplation is a guiding principle to interpreting Imran Mir's work, an approach that reverberates into a practice that grew out of conversations with a community of artists, activists, poets, relatives, and other thinkers in Karachi. Non-figurative, non-representational, geometrical and very bold, Imran Mir's works can be read as theorems and positions on multiple modernisms and abstractions. Without being a critique or a response, he played with the rules, bypassing and expanding them to other realms to explore ways of being, ways of knowing time and space outside of the confinements of the West.
