What is the soul of poetry? Perhaps the most influential answer comes from Aristotle’s Poetics, in which the writer regarded poetry as an instance of mimesis, a kind of representation or simulation. However, despite the significance he gave the term, Aristotle's use of the word mimesis was far from unequivocal, and over the centuries that have followed this inconsistency has stimulated a wealth of interpretations and debate. Tracking Poetics from its birth in rhetorical studies to its reception across the centuries until romanticism, Mats Malm here examines the many different ways scholars—from Averroës to Schlegel—have understood mimesis, looking at how these various interpretations have led to very different definitions of the soul of poetry.

Mark Manders ? Zeno X Gallery, 28 Years of Collaboration' biedt een overzicht van de langdurige samenwerking tussen kunstenaar Mark Manders (°1968) en Zeno X Gallery in Antwerpen. De publicatie verschijnt naar aanleiding van zijn recentste solotentoonstelling in de galerie en belicht enkele belangrijke exposities en bijzondere projecten waarvoor Manders in binnen- en buitenland werd uitgenodigd van de jaren negentig tot nu.00Sinds 1986 werkt Mark Manders aan wat hij "zelfportret als gebouw? noemt. Zijn oeuvre ? bestaande uit installaties, sculpturen, werk op papier en tekeningen ? krijgt de metafoor van een fictief gebouw, onderverdeeld in afzonderlijke kamers waarvan de precieze vorm en omvang niet te definiëren valt. Er is geen begin en geen einde. Manders streeft naar tijdloosheid en universaliteit door archetypische vormen en vertrouwd ogende materialen als klei, brons en hout te gebruiken. Zijn in brons vervaardigde sculpturen en installaties lijken daardoor kwetsbaarder dan ze in werkelijkheid zijn. 00Exhibition: Zeno X Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium (03.09. - 15.10.2022).
This groundbreaking book teaches the Korean martial art Taekwondo to novices above the age of 40. Primarily written for Taekwondo trainers, Sekwondo (age-adapted Taekwondo) is also easily understood and useful for the student. Why should one embark on practicing Taekwondo in the second half of one’s life? The reason is simple: You may live longer and healthier. In contrast to many other types of sports, Taekwondo is unique in its dynamic nature. It embodies all the various elements of physical fitness, such as muscle strength and endurance, flexibility, agility, balance, coordination, motor speed, and cardio-respiratory function, but also helps one's mood. With very little material written and available about sensible and safe Taekwondo training for seniors, Sekwondo offers a fun, accessible, and effective exercise program, while introducing a fascinating and transformative discipline.

In 2015 portrait photographer Robin de Puy (1986) travels across America on a motorcycle. During this trip, an intimate portrait emerges in text and image of both herself as of the persons portrayed. In Ely, Nevada she found Randy. He rode past - fast - but in the split second she saw him she knew: De Puy had to know who this boy was. She took his portrait, left the town a few days later, and that was it - at least, that's what it seemed at the time. Back in Amsterdam Randy popped into her mind from time to time - it was impossible to know this boy and leave it at that single image. She looked him up again at the end of 2016, and then again in February 2017, and once more in May 2017. She turns him inside out, looks at him, stares at him and he lets her. In the Bonnefantenmuseum, Robin de Puy is presenting this portrait of Randy in the form of an installation that comprises photos and film. Exhibition: Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, The Netherlands (26.01. - 13.05.2018).
