Abstract

Some artworks do something to you. They leave you feeling bereft, give you new insights, offer a new way of seeing things, make you happy, hopeful or despairing. This was true in the past, and it remains true today. It is this universal experience that art brings about that is the subject of the exhibition 'Encounters/Ontmoetingen'. KMSKA-curator Paul Vandenbroeck has selected a hundred works from all over the world, from early antiquity to the present day, by well-known and lesser-known artists, from paintings and sculptures to video, installations and textiles. 'Encounters/Ontmoetingen' is not a conventional exhibition. You need no prior knowledge before you walk in. On the contrary, the most important thing is to enter the MAS without preconceptions, and let the art speak for itself. The works are not exhibited according to traditional categories, but grouped into intuitive clusters: sometimes on the basis of aesthetic conventions, sometimes on the basis of a tension between works of diverse origins. The exhibition starts from the notion that art, separately from any idea, thought or belief, has the capacity to touch you, even if you have no idea who the artist is and where the work comes from. To keep the experience pure, there is no text or explanation accompanying the exhibits. All you get as a spectator is the names of the works and the artists. Exhibition: MAS Museum aan de Stroom, Antwerp, Belgium (19.05.-20.08.2017).

Abstract

Marcel Broodthaers (Brussels, 1924-1976), a poet before becoming an artist in 1964, was a pioneer of intermedia and site-specific installation art but above all an in-depth theorist who ranged widely over the visual arts in his writings. Broodthaers’ work is widely recognized for its movement and combination of mediums: performance, film, text-based work, etc. Often overlooked, his artworks include genuine research into the nature of language, giving a conceptual continuity to all his practice.“I am the result of (literary) experience—that’s perhaps a little strong—let’s say of a taste for literature definitely; that was my starting point; however, I do think I am now able to express myself on the edge of things, where the world of plastic arts and the world of poetry might possibly, I wouldn’t say meet, but at the very frontier where they part.”This fully illustrated collection of Broodthaers’ writings presents his early poetry in a comprehensive selection of statements and critical essays—some unpublished while others were originally published in newspapers and art magazines and are here collected for the very first time. All of this, together with his so-called open letters, interviews, preparatory notes, and scripts, introduces us to his solid thinking on politics, economics, nationalism, publicity, institutional politics, and culture.The essay that serve as the book’s introduction written by Gloria Moure (editor of this volume) examines the artist’s approach in relation to the linguistic turn in art practices of the 1960s, and its legacy in contemporary art.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage constitue la première monographie importante consacrée à l'oeuvre de Giuseppe Penone, l'un des représentants les plus remarquables de l'Arte povera. Outre la beauté des formes et des matériaux, son travail de sculpteur se caractérise par la force des interrogations qu'il suscite sur la nature et sur l'homme. L'artiste révèle le rythme présent au coeur du cycle naturel de la vie, et l'empreinte du temps sur les êtres et les choses.

Abstract

Delving into the intersections between artistic images and philosophical knowledge in Europe from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth centuries, The Art of Philosophy shows that the making and study of visual art functioned as important methods of philosophical thinking and instruction. From frontispieces of books to monumental prints created by philosophers in collaboration with renowned artists, Susanna Berger examines visual representations of philosophy and overturns prevailing assumptions about the limited function of the visual in European intellectual history. 

Rather than merely illustrating already existing philosophical concepts, visual images generated new knowledge for both Aristotelian thinkers and anti-Aristotelians, such as Descartes and Hobbes. Printmaking and drawing played a decisive role in discoveries that led to a move away from the authority of Aristotle in the seventeenth century. Berger interprets visual art from printed books, student lecture notebooks, alba amicorum (friendship albums), broadsides, and paintings, and examines the work of such artists as Pietro Testa, Léonard Gaultier, Abraham Bosse, Dürer, and Rembrandt. In particular, she focuses on the rise and decline of the "plural image," a genre that was popular among early modern philosophers. Plural images brought multiple images together on the same page, often in order to visualize systems of logic, metaphysics, natural philosophy, or moral philosophy.
