Abstract

Kunst kan de wereld niet redden. Ze heeft geen politiek programma en zet niet aan tot daadkracht. Daarvoor is ze te frivool, te vrijblijvend, te wars van moraal.Andy Warhol: Art is what you can get away with.Maar kunst doet wel iets met ons. Ze prikkelt ons en brengt ons bij momenten in vervoering of zelfs uit evenwicht. Ze dwingt of verleidt ons in de illusie te treden en er ons vervolgens in gesprek van los te maken. Het sublieme van kunst doet ons huiveren en het schone verzoent ons met de anders vaak onleefbare waarheid. Kunst geeft ons een genot dat we soms slechts schuin of door de vingers kunnen zien. Over genot kan de psychoanalyse een notoire expertise voorleggen. Ook over esthetisch genot. Zelfs het meest verfijnde genot heeft volgens haar een onbewuste herkomst.Voor zover onze relatie tot de realiteit erotisch is, komt dit misschien bij uitstek tot uiting in de kunst.

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

Soms horen we louter stilte, of veronderstellen we stilte te horen. Maar wie heeft ooit stilte gezíén? Hoe ziet stilte eruit? Hoe druk je de afwezigheid van geluid uit in beeld? De Belgische kunstenaar Luc Tuymans stelde eens dat kunstwerken, willen ze effect sorteren, ‘de immense intensiteit van stilte’ moeten verspreiden. De stilte van het licht is een onderzoek naar facetten van die immense stilte. Misschien belichaamt stilte in de kunst een verlangen om er niet te zijn. Dit verlangen vormt voor Zwagerman de aandrijfmotor in De stilte van het licht.

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

What precisely, W.J.T. Mitchell asks, are pictures (and theories of pictures) doing now, in the late twentieth century, when the power of the visual is said to be greater than ever before, and the "pictorial turn" supplants the "linguistic turn" in the study of culture? This book by one of America's leading theorists of visual representation offers a rich account of the interplay between the visible and the readable across culture, from literature to visual art to the mass media.
