Abstract

King Kasaï est le nom d’un éléphant empaillé qui fut longtemps le symbole du Musée royal de l’Afrique centrale, situé près de Bruxelles. C’est devant le « roi du Kasaï » et près d’un Léopold II à la gloire déboulonnée, dans cette ancienne vitrine du projet colonial belge aujourd’hui rebaptisée Africa Museum, que Christophe Boltanski passe la nuit. L'histoire va au-delà de la colonisation belge et s'enfonce dans la nuit européenne. En partant sur les traces du chasseur qui participa à la vaste expédition zoologique du Musée et abattit l’éléphant en 1956, l’auteur s’aventure au cœur des plus violentes ténèbres, celles de notre mémoire

Abstract

Who owns the past? Are museum archives and their re-collections of cultural heritage a cult of the dead-and if so, are we living in a necropolis? This book on photography, cemeteries, and the archive evolved out of an experimental research project at the Bibliotheca Hertzianain Rome, with its immense collection of canonic photographs from the history of art and architecture. An artist's book, it takes on the form of a description of an unfinished film in five acts-a cinematic fragment, so to speak: Dopostoria. The title essay by Christoph Keller is complemented by two contributions on burial cultures in prehistory and in modernity from the archaeologist Maria Clara Martinelli and the modern historian Carolin Kosuch. A sequence of collages at the back of the book conjures up a phantasmagorical journey through an ancient-modern Rome.

Abstract

« Le fonctionnement du marché de l'art et du secteur culturel apparaît souvent être une affaire d'initiés aux yeux du grand public. Les règles de droit liées à ces secteurs passionnants, mais atypiques, sont elles aussi méconnues, parfois par les initiés eux-mêmes? Combien d'acteurs de l'art et de la culture n'ont jamais eu la moindre formation juridique? Combien de professionnels du droit n'ont pas la moindre idée du fonctionnement du marché de l'art et du secteur culturel? Le présent ouvrage a pour ambition de constituer un chaînon manquant entre l'art et la culture d'un côté, et le droit de l'autre. L'objectif est de rendre accessible à tous, en ce compris les non-juristes, le cadre juridique du secteur par une approche rapide, simple, structurée, et - pour autant que le droit puisse l'être - ludique. Dans une ère ou le droit évolue presque aussi vite que les modes de création, ce livre intègre les toutes dernières réformes telles que l'allocation du travailleur des arts (l'ancien statut de l'artiste) et la reforme de la fiscalité des droits d'auteur. Il tient compte également des dernières évolutions du secteur, avec notamment des chapitres spécifiques dédiés aux NFT (non fongible token) et au street art. L'ouvrage est structuré selon une approche chronologique du parcours caricatural d'une œuvre d'art ou d'un projet culturel, mais il permet - par sa présentation en 100 questions - d'être lu dans un ordre non chronologique en fonction des besoins du lecteur. »--Page 4 de la couverture.

Abstract

‘De collectie Irma & Jules Dhondt-Dhaenens. Een voorstelling’ is the new collection catalog of this museum and shows the 125 works of art that were donated by Jules and Irma Dhondt-Dhaenens to the self-founded foundation in 1967.The catalogue is conceived around a photographic concept that reveals the physical handling of the collection. Clusters of works are assembled, laid out on the museum floor by figurants and photographed. The book becomes a theatrical performance with paintings, drawings and sculptures deployed as actors in changing stage settings.In addition, in a separate section, 27 top works are highlighted and reproduced full-page.Finally, the book contains texts by outside voices who briefly explain their personal experiences with the museum and interpretations of its historical heritage. The texts were written by Inge Braeckman, Bart Cassiman, Chantal Pattyn, Herwig Todts, Kia Tsakiridis, Karen Van Godtsenhoven, Olga Van Oost, Cathérine Verleysen and Bart Verschaffel.

Abstract

Marking the 50th anniversary of Edward Steichen's death, this exciting project showcases the work of two eminent contemporary artists, Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf (*1959) and Belgian visual artist Hans Op de Beeck (*1969).Out of their appreciation for each other and their shared admiration for Steichen?s oeuvre, Olaf and Op de Beeck agreed to collaborate on a project for the first time ever. The exhibition features Olaf's series Im Wald, together with watercolours, sculptures and videos by Op de Beeck and landscape photographs by Steichen himself, creating surprising connections between the three artists. Although very different, they come together like virtuoso musicians, creating a new harmony, a richly variegated presentation of imagery in black, white and grey tones that is strikingly unified and self-evident.The show, thus, provides a new context for the oeuvre of the Luxembourg-born photographer and encourages viewers to (re)discover the artistic qualities of his prints through a contemporary lens. In addition to their joint show, Olaf and Op de Beeck will also present a curated selection of works by Steichen from the MNHA's extensive collection in the museum?s Steichen room.bron : https://hansopdebeeck.com/exhibitions/2022/erwin-olaf-hans-op-de-beeck-inspired-by-steichen

Abstract

The core of the Van Gogh Museum’s collection consists of the paintings, drawings, prints and letters of Vincent van Gogh, as well as a substantial group of artworks by his contemporaries, which Vincent assembled with his brother Theo. The fact that the collection was kept together and eventually housed in a dedicated museum is entirely to the credit of the Van Gogh family. Following Theo’s tragic death, barely six months after that of Vincent himself, his widow Jo van Gogh-Bonger devoted her life to raising awareness of this magnificent legacy. The international fame that Van Gogh’s work enjoys today is due in large part to her efforts.To keep the collection intact, Theo and Jo’s son – named Vincent after his uncle – set out to have a museum built. So it was that the Van Gogh Museum opened its doors to the public in 1973, the fiftieth anniversary of which falls in 2023.Choosing Vincent looks back over a tale of doubt, setbacks and triumph, while highlighting many of the masterpieces and lesser-known gems from this unique collection.
