Multitalented artist Philip Aguirre sees his prints as completed
products. His drawings, however, serve a very different purpose
within his work. He views these drawings as the start of a thought
process, forming a consistent thread throughout what is, for him, a
vitally important method of creation. In that process, it is not
unusual to see historic heritage as a source of his inspiration.
Thus, his work engages with reoccurring themes such as the spring
and water in the world, immigration and refugees, and the story of
Africa threading throughout his oeuvre. This book focuses on the
broad palette of disciplines that Aguirre practices, reflecting on
these important reoccurring themes that have been present
throughout his career, as well as the role played by printmaking in
his work. It also highlights the selection of prints and drawings
from the rich oeuvre that he has built up over the last 40 years,
which he recently donated to the collection of modern prints and
drawings for the Plantin Moretus Museum print cabinet. Distributed
for Mercatorfonds Exhibition Schedule: Plantin Moretus Museum,
Antwerp, Belgium. The Print Cabinet. 27 0ctober 2022 - February

In Richard Deacon's solo exhibition Some Time, a refabricated
version of his sculpture Never Mind takes pride of place among more
than twenty-five other works. Over time, the original sculpture,
made in 1993, proved to be incompatible with the natural
environment of an open-air museum. Now, after a period of critical
reflection and discussion with the artist himself, what he calls a
'refabrication' has taken place. Follow the artist and the museum's
quest for an innovative, sustainable solution to the renewal of (or
variation on) a monumental sculpture that offers a potentially new
line of approach for the future. This book not only represents the
Some Time exhibition, but thanks to its diversity of material,
ranging from original sketches and intimate correspondence to
construction photos from the workshop and installation shots, it
also gives a unique insight into Deacon's working process. At the
same time, it provides a moment of critical reflection from the
perspectives of the various authors who have contributed to it.
