De Problematiek Van Buitensculpturen
Middelheim Museum, known for its beautiful collection of modern and contemporary sculptures, is an expert in exposing and preserving outdoor art. Outdoor sculptures are extremely vulnerable to weather conditions, pollution and vandalism, which demands a highly specialized preservation and restoration policy. This publication explores that policy by focusing on a specific case: the Brabo Fountain. Since it is a statue located in the public space, not only the exposure of the material has to be taken into account, but also the relation between the omnipresent public and the statue has to be identified. 'Issues for Outdoor Sculptures' explores a comprehensive technical approach of conservation and restoration of the outdoor and public sculpture in constant relation to the content of it.
Congoville
One hundred years after the founding of the École Coloniale Supérieure in Antwerp, the adjacent Middelheim Museum invites Sandrine Colard, researcher and curator, to conceive an exhibition that probes silenced histories of colonialism in a site-specific way. For Colard, the term Congoville encompasses the tangible and intangible urban traces of the colony, not on the African continent but in 21st-century Belgium: a school building, a park, imperial myths, and citizens of African descent. In the exhibition and this adjoining publication, the concept Congoville is the starting point for 15 contemporary artists to address colonial history and ponder its aftereffects as black flâneurs walking...
Revisionen eines Schiffbruchs - Martin Kippenbergers Medusa
Martin Kippenberger (1953–1997) is considered one of the outstanding artists of the 1980s and 1990s. One of the artist’s greatest related bodies of work, Medusa, was produced one year before his death. In over 80 works he addresses Theodore Géricault’s narrative painting The Raft of the Medusa (1819). In this critical, historical analysis the body of work is for the first time set within the context of the entire oeuvre, its evolution is extensively traced and Kippenberger's reception of Géricault's salon painting is examined in detail. Medusa illustrates much more complex dimensions than simply the metaphorization of the artist’s personal situation. Kippenberger translates Géricault's painting into the present day and in doing so reviews a shipwreck.
