Carnaval is het volkse feest van de vermomming en het masker; van de spot en de omkering van alle waarden. Ook kunstenaars hebben er zich door laten inspireren. In het kader van het Ensorjaar presenteert het Verhaeren Museum een reeks etsen van James Ensor rond het thema van het masker. Tegelijk gaan we de dialoog aan met een aantal moderne en hedendaagse kunstenaars die het masker een plaats gaven in hun oeuvre: Koen Broucke, Nikolaas Demoen, Fernand Khnopff, Tomasz Kowalski, Benjamin Monti, Peter Morrens, Félicien Rops, Jan Vercruysse, Jos Verdegem, Dirk Zoete… Een aantal originele oude carnavalsmaskers brengen je helemaal in de sfeer van het gebeuren. Er is ook een literair luik met gedichten van Charles Baudelaire, Jan Campert, Valery Larbaud, Hugues C. Pernath, Paul van Ostaijen, Emile Verhaeren…

Indonesia and its more than 17,000 islands are spread out over a surface area equivalent to that of the European Union. As an area of confluences and encounters, the Indonesian archipelago has always been one of the most important crossroads of world trade, where Austronesian ships, Arab dhows, Chinese junks, Iberian caravels, and other ships of the East India Companies berthed long before the container ships and oil tankers of today. The history of this archipelago is that of a multitude of links and connections, where the near and the far intermingle, forced to compete by a ubiquitous maritime world. The sea brings together more than she separates, and the monsoon winds have made this intersection a mandatory stop for merchants, clerics, and foreign diplomats, whose presence has left traces in the myths, monuments, arts, and traditions of contemporary Indonesia. Overlapped, blended, reinterpreted by rich and complex societies, these inflows have forged multiple worlds that the relationship with the sea has finely coloured and chiselled. This publication invites us to discover this world, with the sea as the common thread, and an exceptional collection of major artworks as markers of a history to be discovered and admired.
