Abstract

"The drawings were made in a basement in Brussels during the winter of 2009. They were first shown at Kunsthalle Basel from January 16 until March 14, 2010, in an exhibition with the title "Projekt 13." After this exhibition they went back to the basement and stayed there for a few years. They were rediscovered in the beginning of 2014 after a site visit to Kunsthalle Wien. It was decided that "Projekt 13" had to be exposed again in a different form in Vienna. The result of this decision was the exhibition "Das Wunder des Lbens" at Kunsthalle Wien."--Page [479].

Abstract

The artists Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys have been collaborating for 30 years. Together, they continue to spawn a legion of videos, drawings, sculptures, installations, performances, and photographs. These materials offer the artists vehicles, which they populate with humans and their stand-ins - stupefied family members, hysterical puppets, anthropomorphized objects. Some of these characters are friends, or intermediaries that serve in their place. Others are the derelict occupants of a 'parallel world' that goes unrecognized by most, despite its being inexorably entangled with the world most of us identify. Sometimes their work is perplexing, but the hushed laughter it elicits is tuned to a rather dark station. After all, or overall, the artists wallow in the most depressing of cultural trenches, in the most vile historical quagmires and, when they emerge indelibly soiled in the moribund and strange aspects of humanity, its absurd technological prosthetics, ist endless neuroses and traumas they wring it out and give it a frozen form, a more appropriately awkward posture.

Abstract

The publication MONDO CANE is being released to coincide with Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys eponymous exhibition for the Belgian Pavilion of the 58th Venice Biennale. MONDO CANE works as a compilation of articles reporting various facts and events about the world that surrounds us. Each article comprises a descriptive text and one or more illustrations. The book is, from the outset, an international publication. The texts appear, at random, in Dutch, English, French, German and Italian. The tone adopted for the articles and drawings is informative, non-spectacular and monotonous. De Gruyter and Thys have a habit of distilling fictions from a reality that can sometimes be too real. They happily claim to be attracted to the state of psychosis in contemporary society, while at the same time dreading it and disseminating it through their creations. Without ever descending into cynicism or morality, the artist duo manages-with skill, and not without humour-in transforming what looks like fear or a state of latency into an uncanny and critical reality that goes beyond the status quo.
