A tribute to the most famous modern Flemish painter. Fabre has created a number of new works especially for this exhibition displaying more than two hundred.Jan Fabre (Antwerp, 1958) is an artist and a director and uses his works to speculate in a loud and tangible manner about life and death, physical and social transformations as well as the nature of cruelty, which is present in both animals and humans. As a grandson of a famous entomologist, Jan Fabre widely uses wildlife aesthetics. He uses beetle shells, animal skeletons and horns as well as stuffed animals and images of animals in various materials. The list of unusual materials goes beyond that and covers blood and BIC blue ink. As emphasized by the painter and acknowledged by critics and researchers, his art goes back to the traditions of classic Flemish art, which he admires: Peter Paul Rubens and Jacob Jordaens are his main inspiration.
Works by multidisciplinary Belgian artist Jan Fabre are now in Florence for Spiritual Guards, an exhibition taking place in piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio and, later, Forte Belvedere. The show will feature bronze sculptures, wax works, Fabre's signature beetle shell compositions and films of his theatrical performances, all dating from 1978 to 2016. Exhibition: Forte Belvedere, Florence. Italy (14.05.-02.10.2016).

Scultore, disegnatore, scrittore, regista, editore: sono solo alcuni dei campi creativi investigati da Jan Fabre, un artista che da oltre trent'anni porta avanti un'intensa ricerca interdisciplinare e che presenta, in questo volume, l'opera installata presso Casa La Marrana di Ameglia (La Spezia), intitolata Il Rifugio (Per la Tomba del computer sconosciuto) e costituita da un ammasso di 100 croci di legno ricoperte di inchiostro blu Bic, su cui sono scritti nomi di insetti. Le immagini, scattate dal fotografo Aurelio Amendola, sono precedute da un saggio critico di Giacinto Di Pietrantonio, curatore dell'esposizione, e dai testi tratti da una conversazione tra Jan Fabre, Luigi Ficacci, Giacinto Di Pietrantonio e Alberto Garutti. Segue una postfazione di Achille Bonito Oliva. Edizione a tiratura limitata. Annotation Supplied by Informazioni Editoriali
This handsome book peers into Troubleyn/Laboratorium, the workspace, collective art space, and creative incubator of Belgian multidisciplinary artist Jan Fabre (b. 1958), whose performances, staged since the 1980s, have brought him international acclaim and recognition. Expressing the collective aims of Fabre's theatre company, Troubleyn/Laboratorium functions as his workspace as well as a nurturing environment for the activities of his theater company and young artists alike, in which artists are free to develop and materialize their creative impulses. The building, situated in a progressive multicultural neighborhood in northern Antwerp, houses a uniquely integrated collection of art works from international visual artists, writers, theatre makers, and philosophers, with whom Jan Fabre feels a close affinity and whose works represent the overall cooperative spirit of the space itself. Fostering an environment that is as progressive as the artist's varied oeuvre, Troubleyn/Laboratorium provides the grounds for an idealistic hotbed of artistic activity and this publication offers a glimpse of that possible utopia.
