Abstract

This book -- the fruit of a lengthy research project, which has allowed us to gather and organize coherent sets of material that reflect the timeline of René Heyvaert (1928?1984)?s artistic experimentations -- aims to show, for the first time, a significant selection of his mail art. His mail art is linked to his generally multiform oeuvre -- which retains, given that he was originally an architect, an overt material and spatial relation to its environment -- as well as to his vital circumstances: his gradually deteriorating health, and the loneliness that fed his epistolary vocation.

Abstract

In 1961, Belgian architect René Heyvaert conceived 'Denver Mosaic' for a building on the outskirts of Denver, Colorado. Due to its scale, permanence, and site specificity, the mosaic has a spatial operation that is closely linked to architecture and embodies many aspects that would play an important role in Heyvaert's later two-dimensional and sculptural works as an artist. The time he spent in the United States marks a transformative period in which he initiated his transition from architect to visual artist; the mosaic is the most significant work produced in this period. This edition is a spin-off of research conducted by the design office AVDAK for an exhibition on Heyvaert's work.

Abstract

After briefly working as an architect, René Heyvaert (1929-1984) decided to pursue a career as an artist. He saw art as essential to his life; a way of dealing with the world. Heyvaert's artistic practice is very versatile; he has created drawings, photos, mail art and sculptures in the most diverse of materials, and has also published and took part in performances. But he is best known for his work with found objects that he reinterprets through minimal interpositions. By carrying out small, poetic interventions, Heyvaert took everyday objects out of their context and stripped them of their original function. This catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the oeuvre of René Heyvaert at Museum M Leuven in the winter of 2018 and exposes on his artistic as well as architectural practice, with interviews, essays and personal reflections. Exhibition: Museum M, Leuven, Belgium (28.09.2018-10.02.2019).

Abstract

Het enthousiasme en het bijzonder belang dat veel door ons gekende kunstenaars hechten aan hun medewerking aan de activiteiten van de Galerij Drieghe, deed ons de belangrijke rol van deze galerij in het Belgisch cultureel veld inzien. Daaruit hebben wij afgeleid dat het noodzakelijk was een expositie in te richten met betrekking tot dit soort van spontaan, gepassionneerd, ... onmisbaar werk (...). Deze tentoonstelling is tegelijkertijd een hulde aan de galerij en een aanleiding tot de promotie van de kunst in de maatschappij... (Persmededeling M. Renwart)

Abstract

Heyvaert, geboren in 1929 in Gent en overleden in 1984 in Scheldewindeke, werkte met tekeningen, foto's en mail art, maar is vooral gekend voor zijn werk met gevonden objecten. Hij haalt banale voorwerpen uit het dagelijkse leven uit hun context, brengt ze binnen in de kunst, ontneemt ze hun functie en geeft ze met een minimale ingreep een ongekende kracht en intensiteit. Je voelt er de spanning tussen twee polen in, tussen de objectieve, intellectuele lading en de unieke, subjectieve, emotionele lading.Een toile cirée verknipt hij zoals kinderen dat doen met een stukje gevouwen papier, een vork ontdoet hij van de tanden, twee takken verbindt hij met een touwtje. Het zijn kleine, poëtische interventies, maar ze hebben Heyvaert op de kaart gezet als experimenteel en minimalistisch kunstenaar die een gevoelige snaar wist te raken bij kunstkenners en collega-kunstenaars. Zijn interventies vinden hun oorsprong in zijn studie als architect. Architectuur heeft te maken met de dominantie van materialen en met het werken op schaal. Die twee zaken zijn duidelijk terug te vinden in het oeuvre van Heyvaert.

Abstract

"Carrousel Confessions Confusion" is a series of books curated by Studio Jan De Vylder at ETH Zürich. World-renowned architects are asked to confess a building, a garden, a book or whatever could have been relevant in a certain moment of their life and career. The authors share places or situations that became sensible for personal reasons and sometimes unexpectedly. Confessing is always something personal and goes along with the idea of a certain confusion. "Carrousel Confessions Confusion" is a series of sets. Each set is composed by 3 zines. Each zine is about 1 confession. Each confession is narrated through words and images by the author, a critical text mainly written by Maarten Delbeke, pictures by Filip Dujardin and a drawing by Inge Vinck.
