During the Exhibition the Gallery Will be Closed
"In this compilation of essays Camiel van Winkel uncovers the conceptual roots of contemporary art. He shows that the art of today as a whole is essentially 'post-conceptual'. The production and reception of art are determined by circumstances and factors that conceptual artists in the years 1965-75 were the first to announce: the cultural dominance of information, the professionalization of artistic practices, and the applicability of the criteria of 'good design'. This post-conceptual perspective offers a new and revealing insight into the systematics of contemporary art and artisthood, in particular with regard to the relationship between conceptual and visual aspects, the meaning of theoretical discourse, and the role of institutions and mediators"--P. [4] of cover.

Archive Species
Archive Species' is an inquiry into the representation of clothed bodies in print media since the 1970s. Artist Joke Robaard and writer Camiel van Winkel have been re-assembling and re-reading the vast archive of fashion and newspaper images that Robaard has collected since 1979. Together they selected images from the archive and arranged them into dynamic series or cycles, generating new narratives and unexpected pathways of signification. Using an artistic strategy of appropriation and alienation, the authors identify crucial connections between body, object, and behaviour, in an elaborate attempt to expose the hidden cultural and political layers of fashion photography. The essays in this book, on topics such the assembled self, the construction and deconstruction of garments, and the metaphorical potential of textile and fabric, should be read in close connection to the prolific visual material.
De mythe van het kunstenaarschap
Zoals het aura van het kunstwerk in de twintigste eeuw al talloze malen is afgebrand, maar keer op keer uit zijn as herrees, zo komen ook oude clichés over de visionaire kunstenaar en diens soevereine scheppingsdrang steeds weer terug, zij het in nieuwe, aangepaste vormen. Het kunstenaarschap is dus ook vandaag nog een mythe. Zit de kunstenaar per definitie gevangen in deze mythe? Is een gedemystificeerde kunstpraktijk voorstelbaar? Of heeft het kunstenaarschap zonder mythische lading geen toekomst? Camiel van Winkel is kunsthistoricus en schrijft over hedendaagse kunst en film. Hij doceert kunst en kunsttheorie aan LUCA School of Arts/Sint-Lukas Brussel. Van zijn hand verschenen eerder de boeken 'Moderne leegte. Over kunst en openbaarheid' (1999), 'Het primaat van de zichtbaarheid' (2005) en 'During the Exhibition the Gallery Will Be Closed. Contemporary Art and the Paradoxes of Conceptualism' (2012). Samen met Joke Robaard publiceerde hij in 2018 de omvangrijke studie 'Archive Species. Bodies, Habits, Practices'.
