Bringing together works from the past 20 years, this book
introduces readers to multidisciplinary Belgian artist Maarten
Vanden Eynde Belgian artist Maarten Vanden Eynde (b. 1977) has
established a research-based practice, which spans diverse social,
economic, environmental, and anthropological perspectives. His work
covers some of the most important subjects of our time from
extractionism, ecology, and colonialism to the after-effects of
colonialism. The book is built up as an alternative encyclopaedia
of the history of human kind, investigating our influence on planet
Earth. It proposes an industrial and post-industrial archaeology of
the future, mapping out a speculative "future-fiction" of our
evolutionary traces, and offers a survey of Vanden Eynde's work
from the past two decades, including Plastic Reef, a massive
sculpture made from plastic debris the artist has harvested from
all the world's oceans. Distributed for Mercatorfonds Exhibition
Schedule: Mu.ZEE, Kunstmuseum aan zee, Ostend.
In her masterpiece of 2,75 x 21 metre, Ellen Harvey painted the
region of Bruges as a contemporary, impressive interpretation of a
Google Earth map, and in this publication she restores the ties
between the city of Bruges and the harbour. In the new
installation, behind a mirrored wall punctuated with peepholes,
Harvey has hung a selection of paintings dating from the
seventeenth to the early twentieth century, all of which belong to
the reserve collection. Her work is an invitation to rediscover
these rarely seen artworks. The paintings of the city, the canals,
and the sea are reflected in the panorama on the opposite wall:
Harvey's painted maps (2.75 x 21 meter) based on satellite images.
The elaborate waterways, executed in mirrored glass, demonstrate
the importance of the rivers and canals for the city. The British
artist Ellen Harvey (b1967) lives and works in New York. Her work
includes video art, installations and paintings. She has exhibited
throughout the world, from Warsaw to Berlin, Los Angeles to Prague
etc. Between 1999 and 2001 she brightened up the streets of New
York with her 'NY Beautification Project': 40 small tondos and oval
landscape scenes were applied between graffiti and tags on places
and carriers in the city, such as containers, garage doors,
walls...
"RAVE" is one of the first publications to critically engage with
the historical rave movement of the 1980s and 1990s as it relates
to contemporary art and visual culture. Following the death of
industrial Europe, Rave emerged as Europe s last big youth
movement. This book considers the social, political and economic
conditions that led to the advent of rave as a counterculture
across Europe, as well as its aesthetics, ideologies and influence
on contemporary art and beyond. Combining specially commissioned
texts, interviews and factual material, "RAVE" represents a broad
range of artistic practices, including the work of Jeremy Deller,
Rineke Dijkstra and Daniel Pflumm, amongst many others. In addition
to artistic contributions, the book features texts by Mark Fisher
and Nav Haq, as well as interviews with Walter van Beirendonck, the
famous Belgian fashion designer; and Renaat Vandepapeliere &
Sabine Maes, who run the legendary R&S Record label. Published
in partnership with Modern of Modern Art, Antwerp."
