Terug Naar Af. Gerard Herman.

Deeze publicatie kwam op de valreep tot stand, enkele dagen voor de opening van Un-Scene in Wiels, Brussel, donderdag 21 juni 2012, nadat een grote reeks andere tekeningen op mysterieuze wijze op de trein tussen Antwerpen en Moeskroen in rook opgingen. Alle tekeningen en gedichten zijn te lezen als lussen, waarbij het einde naadloos aansluit bij het begin.

This publication came about at the eleventh hour, a few days before the opening of Un-Scene in Wiels, Brussels, on Thursday June 21, 2012, after a fair amount of other drawings had vanished into thin air on the train between Antwerp and Mouscron. Each drawing and poem can be read as a loop, in which the end follows the start seamlessly.

Yona Friedman. MANUELS volumes 1 + 2 + 3. Cneai =.

The full set of the trilogy entitled Manuals, which contain Yona Friedman’s “cartoon strips”. They were published from 1975-1992 in more than thirty countries and twenty languages, often in the form of photocopies. The first volume describes the region, the city and nature. The second volume treats the subjects on nutrition, protection, habitation, and the mountains. From the “wordology” of Liebniz to African folk tales, the third volume disseminates Friedman’s research on the questions of language, interpretation and improvisation.

“The forms produced by Yona Friedman, published forms, cheap and basic techniques, practical content, suggest that the time has come to no longer think of art in terms of marginality, the only way to put art back in motion is to give it back the central place which it has in many cultures, to transform art and so contribute to its formation.” – Sylvie Boulanger

An afternoon conference on the structure, demands and implications of the book from the perspective of artistic practitioners. With lectures by Simon Hempel, Mette Edvardsen, Theo Cowley and Simon Thompson.

SIMON HEMPEL
Simon Hempel uses the artists’ book as an alternative structuring device analogous to his spatial installations where the emphasis is not on the singular photographic image, the tableaux – but on the notion of the table, the sequence linked to serial images. Photography is reviewed as medium emblematic for the division of subject and object that predominates western thinking.

Simon Hempel is an artist based in Hamburg, DE. He studied at Universität Hamburg, HAW Hamburg and Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht. His work has been presented at Kunsthaus, Hamburg; Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, Hamburg-Harburg; Goethe Institute, Madrid; and Deichtorhallen, Hamburg. His artist’s book ‘Plants and soil – The visual development of a structure’ was published in 2009. A new artist’s book will be published in 2012 with the support of the Department for Culture, Hamburg.

METTE EDVARDSEN
Mette Edvardsen is a choreographer and dancer based in Brussels. Her work is situated within the performing arts field, also exploring other media or other formats such as video and writing.

Conceived as an integral part of a performance, the book ‘Every now and then’ is being read by the audience sitting in the theatre while the performance evolves on stage. The book is direct, tactile and persistent, giving the audience another access to the piece. How do we read the theatre space when we think of it as a page in a book? And the other way around, how do we experience the performance on the page? With every turning of a page a new space appears in layers on top of each other. How can we imagine such architecture? Pages after pages of spaces bound together in a complex architecture called ‘book’?

THEO COWLEY
Theo Cowley is an artist based in Brussels, working mostly in film, video, and performance. He recently published ‘Compo de rheto’ a book based on another book held in the national library of France, made in 1600/01 by an actor known for playing the role of Harlequin in the commedia dell’arte. Both these books, his own and the original, have a specific yet undefined relationship to performance, theatre and history. Certain problematics come to the fore regarding the changing status of these books.

SIMON THOMPSON
Simon Thompson is an artist who lives and works in Brussels. He will talk about Blanchot, the book to come and the non-relations of the work and of the book.

Organised by Theo Cowley.
