Today, known for its black and white portraits covering entire
buildings, Hendrik Beikirch today presents the Siberia project, a
project in the continuity of Tracing Morocco started in 2014. The
intensity of these powerful foreign faces recalls a familiarity
that can be experienced anywhere in the world. Beikirch takes these
studies of humanity with him on his travels and permeates them as
traces of personified life in new contexts. The project is the
result of Beikirch's meeting with this distant immensity that is
Siberia. From this project was born the book Siberia, which gives
an overview of all the works created, paintings, and 10 murals
carried out all over the world. Text in English, French and
Russian.

Juliaan Lampens 1950-1991 is the reissue of the catalogue published
by the deSingel Arts Centre in 1991. The hand of the master is
present in every facet of this publication, which makes this a
unique reference work. In both a literal and figurative sense,
Lampens helped shape the book: he selected the texts and images,
wrote specifically for the publication and collaborated with the
designer. Publications about Juliaan Lampens are scarce and highly
sought after. Interest in the architect's oeuvre has only increased
in recent years, including internationally, as demonstrated by the
special edition of the renowned Japanese architecture magazine a+u
that was devoted to Lampens. With this reissue, supplemented by an
updated biography, the Flanders Architecture Institute is
responding to an ever-growing demand. Previously untranslated texts
are now provided in both French and English, thereby offering the
reader three equivalent language editions in one volume. Text in
English, French and Dutch.
Plantin travelled a lot, to Paris, where he had a bookstore and
lace trade, to Leiden where he had a second business, to Frankfurt
for the buchmesse, ... He was on his way almost half of the year.
He was an experienced traveller. How did people travel in a time
without motorways, GPS, smartphone or trip advisor? Plantin had
tables available that calculated how long the trajectories lasted.
Unfortunately, he did not keep track of where he slept, ate, and
how much he spent. Fortunately, there are other contemporaries,
such as Durer and Montaigne who did take extensive notes during
their travels. In the wake of Plantin, we send young photographers
on different journeys with various means of transport. How do
travel distances and travel times differ from journeys in the 16th
century?
Camiel Van Breedam ( DegreesBoom 29/06/1936) made his first
artworks in 1956: reliefs and small zinc sculptures. Later followed
by assemblages, collages, objects, sculptures, environments -
exhibited in many places in Belgium and abroad. Influences and
inspiration come among others from: his father's plumber workshop,
the region of the river Rupel and the brickyards, Paul Klee, ethnic
art, Indians, Joseph Cornell, the Russian avant-garde, Chaim
Soutine, Oskar Schlemmer, Bauhaus, De Stijl, dreams, nightmares and
RED. His social involvement provides the red thread and the binding
element.
Indonesia and its more than 17,000 islands are spread out over a
surface area equivalent to that of the European Union. As an area
of confluences and encounters, the Indonesian archipelago has
always been one of the most important crossroads of world trade,
where Austronesian ships, Arab dhows, Chinese junks, Iberian
caravels, and other ships of the East India Companies berthed long
before the container ships and oil tankers of today. The history of
this archipelago is that of a multitude of links and connections,
where the near and the far intermingle, forced to compete in a
ubiquitous maritime world. The sea brings together more than she
separates, and the monsoon winds have made this intersection a
mandatory stop for merchants, clerics, and foreign diplomats, whose
presence has left traces in the myths, monuments, arts, and
traditions of contemporary Indonesia. Overlapped, blended,
reinterpreted by rich and complex societies, these inflows have
forged multiple worlds that the relationship with the sea has
finely coloured and chiselled. Archipel invites us to discover this
world, with the sea as the common thread, and an exceptional
collection of major artworks as markers of a history to be
discovered and admired.

Antwerp artist Eugeen Van Mieghem (1875-1930) documents the
pulsating life around the port of Antwerp at the turn of the
twentieth century. Dockers, sack sewers, passengers, local
communities and general labourers are the subjects of his lifelong
fascination with Antwerp port. His affinity with his subjects makes
his work direct and sincere and is unique in the genre of social
realism. The port is one of the great gateways to the city,
facilitating the constant movement of goods and people - migrations
that are essential for the economy as well as for the evolution of
people and society. Ports also are scenes of human tragedy,
witnessing the forced emigration of families and communities
fleeing persecution and poverty, as immortalised in the paintings
and drawings of Eugeen Van Mieghem. Antwerp does have strong
associations with Irish artists in the late nineteenth century,
many of whom, attracted by the pioneering developments in art
practice on the Continent, travelled to Antwerp to study at the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts artists, including Roderic O'Conor,
Walter Osborne and Norman Garstin. The result was light-filled
fleeting images painted out of doors, en plein air, a radical
departure from the official teachings of the established art
academies. It is not known if Van Mieghem and any of those Irish
artists ever came in contact with each other, but this exhibition
shows for the first time Van Mieghem's oeuvre alongside that of his
Irish peers, proving yet again how vital are ongoing migrations of
culture and people in illuminating and understanding our
contemporary society.
Visual artist Laura de Coninck expresses in images what her father
- the unforgettable poet Herman de Coninck - captured in words.
That is no mean feat, because both seek to convey a feeling, want
to say the unsayable. You don't have to stay silent about things
you can't say. You can and you must talk about them, and Laura de
Coninck does that with verve. Saudade is the untranslatable
Portuguese word for a feeling of longing, which has Passion as its
brother, Sorrow as its sister and Nostalgia as a parent. Laura
loves words in general and this word in particular. We all have a
rich emotional life, we all often feel emotions keenly and we are
all familiar with a hopeless inability to put those emotions into
words. Laura expresses herself in images, in pictures that tell
stories about power and powerlessness, about strength and about the
fragility of love. The emotional worlds her father could evoke with
the right words, expressed in his own unique way, are evoked by
Laura with equal authenticity in a sober interplay of line, image,
ink and paper.
