New exhibition catalogue on Belgian artist Marcel Broodthaers.
Marcel Broodthaers's work is characterized by a complex exploration
of the relationship of text and image. This catalog raisonne,
prepared by WIELS and developed in close collaboration with the
Marcel Broodthaers Succession, is the first to include all of the
Belgian conceptual artist's industrial poems created between 1968
and 1972. Borrowing from the aesthetics of industrially
manufactured plastic signs, Broodthaers's multi-layered, often
enigmatic pictorial poems testify to his interest in the
entanglements of language, punctuation, and symbols. In blurring
the boundaries between word and image, painting and object, new
levels of meaning are made visible. The index is supplemented by a
collection of Broodthaers's drawings, writings and "open letters"
as well as scholarly contributions that position the poems as a
crucial group of works within the artist's oeuvre.
