Dominique Stroobant (°1947, Antwerp) is a Belgian artist living and working in Italy. Stroobant started his career carving stones and experimenting with lithophones. Together with painter Jef Verheyen he conceived marble works from the seventies, which he continues to this date. From the seventies onwards, Stroobant also became interested in the medium film and subsequently created cameras and recorders of various shapes and sizes. Throughout his early career, the artist recorded anti-authoritarian movements and victim memorials. Stroobant is particularly puzzled by the shapes of things that hint at infinity.

All of our actions occur in space. Life itself evolves through time. Space and time and the cosmos have intrigued mankind since the dawn of civilization. They have captured like no other subject, and continue to do so, the imagination of artists, philosophers and scientists alike, and have prompted responses such as Stonehenge, the Mayan calendar, and many modern work. To mention only a few: James Turell's admirable explorations of light and infinite space, Tatsuo Miyajima's fascination with space and time, which expresses humankind's need to link its existence to the vast expanse of the universe, Anish Kapoor's investigations into metaphysical polarities like presence and absence, being and non-being, darkness and light. Their works, as well as the ones presented in Artempo, are a re-examination of the relationship between nature and the man-made world, a re-evaluation of our perceptions of reality of how we read the information, meaning, and poetry in the physical world around us. How much 'time' has passed between a Cycladic fertility symbol, a fabric designed by Mariano Fortuny and a mirror by Anish Kapoor? While museums and exhibits increasingly direct their focus on particular periods, styles or artists, we are living in a global society, surrounded by 'timeless' ideas and objects. Artempo aims to explore the universal, timeless language of art and examines the relationship between art, time and the power of display. This catalogue includes a preface by philosopher Massimo Cacciari, currently Mayor of Venice and essays by Artempo curators Giandomenico Romanelli, Jean-Hubert martin and Mattijs Visser, and Norbert Jocks, Art Critic and Art Historian and Eddi de Wolf, Professor and researcher, Universiteit Antwerpen. This hardcover edition contains photographs of the installations in the Palazzo Fortuny, and a complete list of works. Artists: Marina Abramovic, El Anatsui, Arman, Antonin Artaud, Francis Bacon, Erzsébet Baerveldt, Hans Bellmer, Alighiero B

DIVA will be inviting renowned designers and curators for a contemporary interpretation of the Wunderkammer, a chamber exhibiting a collection of art and curiosities, objects from every corner of the globe. The Wunderkammer stems from Antwerp’s illustrious past, for until the middle of the seventeenth century the city led the way in the production and distribution of art and luxury goods. Silverware, jewellery, precious stones and exotic curiosities like coconuts, shells and coral were highly sought-after. Axel Vervoordt, after his famous series of biennial exhibitions at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, will take the lead. The catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Axel Vervoordt, Wonderkamer 1’ at the new Diamond Museum Antwerp is the 2nd issue of an affordable series of DIVA ‘magazines’, opening and sharing the reclused world of luxury arts and crafts. Axel Vervoordt (°1947, Antwerp, Belgium) has earned renown as a collector, antiquarian, interior designer and, most recently, curator. Counting among his clientele royalty, rock stars, financiers, tech tycoons and artists, he is one of the world’s foremost tastemakers. Inquiries into the nature of being and concepts of time and space are what most compel him; he conveys his views through his inspired arrangements of objects and interiors. To some, expressing the lofty in the material might seem contradictory, but Vervoordt believes that, as in a Zen koan, truth can be contained in paradox and ambiguity.
