Abstract

"More than thirty years ago the Swiss-Argentine artist Vivian Suter (*1949) moved to the rain forest in Panajachel, Guatemala, to live on a former coffee plantation. Since then she has worked on her impressive paintings in her wooden-hut studio, as well as outdoors. The tropical garden is her playground; her canvases lie on the sandy ground or hang in trees; dust, mud, leaves, mangos, and insects leave their traces on them. Her painting is influenced by organic processes and coincidence--even natural disasters are her material, when flood waters make their mark on canvases, becoming part of her large, colorful paintings. Containing documentation of her living and work spaces, as well as brief statements from companions and friends, the monograph also offers essays, numerous pictures, and insight into the artist's private life"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Zeger Reyers (1966, NL) is bekend geworden met installaties waarbij hij ruimten liet begroeien met paddenstoelen of schimmels. Natuurlijke processen als eten en gegeten worden, groei, bloei en verval hebben zijn speciale aandacht. Hij laat zwammen uit meubels en apparaten groeien en hij zonk stoelen af in de Oosterschelde, om ze te laten overwoekeren door mosselen. Het werk van Zeger Reyers laat zich niet eenduidig lezen. Het straalt een lyriek uit die doet denken aan het enthousiasme waarmee in Victoriaanse tijden de natuur werd bestudeerd. In de gepassioneerde wijze waarop Reyers paddenstoelen kweekt en er recepten en wetenswaardigheden bij verzamelt, liggen wetenschap en kunst - net als in het Westerse wereldbeeld van de 19e eeuw - op een logische manier in elkaars verlengde. Voor het Middelheimmuseum werkt hij aan een presentatie met verschillende werken, in en rond het Braempaviljoen. Opnieuw staan de overgang tussen ontstaan en verval centraal. Bovendien gaat Reyers de confrontatie aan met de biomorfe architectuur van het paviljoen en met de vormentaal van Renaat Braem (die dit jaar gevierd wordt naar aanleiding van zijn 100ste verjaardag).

Abstract

Reading by Osmosis. Nature Interprets Man' shows works of art that are not made by human hands: an overgrown fence, an underwater video and a battered disco ball. The makers? Ivy, an octopus and time. If we acknowledge that animals and plants, too, can 'read' the world and interpret and 'artistically' transform it, is the traditional opposition between culture and nature still tenable? Sema Bekirovic does not identify with the image of artists as lonely geniuses. Rather, she places little value on her own contribution to her work and shares her authorship with coots, warmth or light. Reading by Osmosis is the provisional high point of this process. As a rule, the intention and the autonomy of a maker are inextricably linked to their artistry. Reading by Osmosis raises the question of whether making art is a process as unintentional and plantlife-like as, for example, osmosis. The book includes the essay 'On Art as Planetary Metabolism', in which philosopher Michael Marder expounds his theory about the artist as a plant (and vice versa) in a surprising way.
