Erg and WIELS invite you to the talk by Patricia Falguières, on the occasion of the launch of two books:
White Cube – L’espace de la galerie et son idéologie
Les Cabinets d’art et de merveilles de la Renaissance tardive. Une contribution à l’histoire du collectionnisme.
In his book Random Order, Branden W. Joseph provides a penetrating analysis of the most important works in the production of Robert Rauschenberg during the 1950s and 1960s, by placing them in the context of the American neo-avant-garde and with particular emphasis on the relationship that the artist had with the composer John Cage.
Random Order offers a penetrating analysis of the major works of Rauschenberg, a redefinition of the paradigm of neo-avant-garde as a reflection on postmodern subjectivity.
Branden W. Joseph teaches modern and contemporary art at Columbia University (New York) and is one of the founders of the journal Grey Room.

A Toast to the Ghost, the Host, Michael Van den Abeele.
“RENDER ME REAL. Millions of computers are rendering in the night; rendering everything more real, more realistic; rendering a new generation of extraterrestrials looking more real that the ones before; a new generation of dinosaurs, now feathered but covered in fur soon enough, if current rendering is done; of evil midget-like creatures; of astonishing landscapes covered with paramount super-structures and populated by the millions; a new generation of things as yet indescribable, but imperatively more real and convincing than before. The real is chased after like a deer; like the hunter that changed into a deer, now chased by his own dogs…”
Includes a conversation between Michael Van den Abeele and Dennis Cooper.
Published on the occasion of Un-Scene II (exposition June 2012) at Wiels, Centre for Contemporary Art.
