Abstract

One way or another' is the title of the very first Posture Pocket. The first edition of this parallel series in novel format presents a chronological survey of all the Posture Editions produced in the last decade. Posture Editions was founded in 2011 and has now published 47 books in A4 format. The publication series has been able to grow thanks to the enthusiasm of many artists, writers, museums, curators and readers. To celebrate this anniversary an exhibition is taking place in the S.M.A.K. in Ghent. Nikolaas Demoen, Katrien Daemers and Stien Stessens use their intuition when it comes to selecting artists. Posture Editions does not walk a straight path, but moves in circles, takes detours, enters dead-end streets, crosses fields and, in so doing, forms a surprisingly diverse map of contemporary art in Belgium. Both the S.M.A.K. exhibition and the book both follow the logic of a timeline, so that the book can be read in the order of the exhibition and the exhibition is structured according to the logic of the book. With texts by: Koen Brams, Simon Delobel, Nikolaas Demoen, Martin Germann, Leen Huet, Ann Meskens, Els Roelandt, Koen Sels, Hans Theys, Tom Van Imschoot, Liesbet Waegemans - and a letter to Posture Editions by Philippe Van Cauteren.

Abstract

The work of Julia Spínola (b. 1979) departs from an intuitive and empirical practice, in which there is no place for metaphors or symbolisms. She is interested in the laws of physics such as connectivity, transference, movement, which have been present in her practice since earlier works.“One night in Madrid, a lamp came swirling down, as if it were a butterfly. It just missed the table and it did not break. The lamp was still burning, but it was hanging at a different level than usual: it had left the ceiling. Suddenly, a funny dialogue developed, a play with various lamps. It became obvious that Spínola wanted to link heart, head, feet and hands in her work – that she was in search of a form for them. Her work shows the effect of experienced and experimental material, it is imagined and created, one sees spaced possibilities that can be thought clearly at a certain moment in this space – a moment that surprises us.”From: ‘Julia Spínola: Form as Figure-Object, Engaged in a Dialogue with Sequenced Gestures and Action Codes’ Sofie Van Loo, in: Habla/Dice

Abstract

Colombian anthropologist and artist Juan Pablo Plazas is fascinated by the ability of people and communities to interpret the world in different ways. In his practice, he starts from everyday objects and raw materials that have special material or formal properties. With wonder and a sense of humour, he takes them out of their ordinary context, turns them into sculptures or gives them a role in a performance. Through this action, Plazas breaks through the ‘dead normal’ and invites us to understand objects as animated, living matter.

Abstract

In the book Images Trouvées, Hans Segers collected twenty-nine shapes originally in a long concertina-shaped picture atlas, an archive of icons. Twenty-nine people from the art world in Belgium and France were invited to verbalise an image. As a result, the images in this book are enriched with new layers of meaning. - from publisher

Abstract

Posture Editions celebrates its 30th publication with a special artist’s multiple by Philippe Van Snick. The work is entitled Huis [House] and has been created specifically for Posture Editions. It consists of 10 silkscreened compositions that together constitute an architectural game. The 10 + 1 colours—which have become the regular building blocks of Van Snick’s oeuvre—appear in various shapes and places on the five folded sheets of paper; they also constitute the point of departure for a prose text by Koen Brams. The printed sheets of art paper constitute a loose-leaf collection and each of the sheets is a work of art in itself. In his work, Philippe Van Snick (b. 1946, Ghent, Belgium) uses particularly simple forms and always the same colours. For Van Snick, painting involves more than the painted surface. The shapes, objects and colours he uses are never isolated elements. They relate to the space in which they are situated and to the physical experience of the public. Using simple and limited means—always imbued by a longing for order—Van Snick tries to describe the essence of life. With a limited formal vocabulary the artist explores, analyses and creates space in his paintings, installations and sculptures. In 2017, Van Snick was honoured with the Ultima Award for Visual Arts and his work was selected to be permanently on view in the new headquarters of the VRT (Flemish Television).

Abstract

Armed with pencil, eraser and breaker knife, Fabrice Souvereyns (°1995 Tongeren) creates a detailed world from intense observations and perceptions. Souvereyns’s young oeuvre draws inspiration from the physical world, from fauna and flora and from what is visible to humankind in the skies. In addition, more ‘invisible’ themes also play a substantial role in the work. The influence of, for example, science cannot be denied, while art history also serves as inspiration for the artist’s eccentric plant world. Vegetal scenes in art reflect how humans relate to subjects such as nature, religion, philosophy or science at the time. Souvereyns makes use of this frame of reference but also leaves room for his personal formal language. As a result, a certain universality and restraint always hangs around his drawings: although they are based on centuries-old natural landscapes, we cannot exactly find them in reality. The line between reality and the (sub)consciousness blurs. While working, he is guided by spontaneity yet the drawings are not simply the result of automatism. Each movement, whether adding or omitting, leaves a unique trace, and is a deliberate choice by the artist.

This collection contains works by a wide variety of artists: including Picasso’s Les demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), L’usage de la Parole (1927-29) by Magritte, Le movement des billes (1926) by Fernand Léger, Zig-zag Zigzag (1987) by René Daniëls, The Studio (1969) by Philip Guston, Käthe Grüsse (1990) by Luc Tuymans, …. The series was started in 2019 and counts 36 paintings today.

Abstract

Reclining Fragments, Ritsart Gobyn’s second book is the sequel to In Between and, as if by some miracle, thus completes the sentence: ‘In Between Reclining Fragments’. Where In Between still hesitated between indicating place or time, the complete sentence ‘In Between Reclining Fragments’ seems to indicate a place: somewhere between reclining fragments. But in the conversation between Ritsart and Maarten Inghels – the author of the text accompanying the book – it is again emphatically about time: “‘As you move closer and distance yourself again, a passage of time is created,’ you said. ‘That back-and-forth movement of your perception makes it interesting.’” The book forms the second volume on the artist’s work and contains almost all the works the artist made from late 2020 to mid-2023, including the room views of ‘Prologue’, the exhibition at PLUS-ONE gallery, where the book will be introduced. Consistently, Ritsart continues to build an evocative and tactile oeuvre in which he increasingly challenges the viewer’s perception and causes the gaze to slow down. More than in the first book – with works from 2017 to 2020 – the artist incorporates fragments/citations of other artists into his paintings, raising the question of what motivations preceded that choice. Does Ritsart neutralise the works of grandmasters by painting them alongside tape, paper scraps and dirty footprints, or does he instead pay homage to his pictorial heroes?Is there a truth to be found here, somewhere among the backward sloping scraps?
