History of a Shiver
A sweeping cultural history that draws on music, literature, painting, and film, 'History of a Shiver' uncovers how art pioneered in the 19th century provided the foundation for modernist aesthetics.
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...
Field Guide
De tentoonstelling 'Wintrum Frod' is het eerste project waarin Orla Barry en Els Dietvorst de werken die tot stand kwamen door hun werk op de schapenboerderij samenbrengen. De titel is Angelsaksisch voor 'wijs in de winter' en verwijst naar de kennis die extreem koude seizoenen voortbrengen. Alle werken in de tentoonstelling zijn nauw verwant aan de omgeving in Ierland. Tegelijkertijd kan het project ruimer worden gezien als een reflectie op de hedendaagse hyperconsumptiemaatschappij. De schapenboerderij is immers een speler in de markteconomie en volgt de logica die met dit spel gepaard gaat. De evolutie in de voedselproductie is één gevolg van een kapitalistisch denken dat dan weer een i...

The Star Alphabet by E.L.T. Mesens
Edouard Léon Théodore Mesens (1903-1971) was a main figure in twentieth-century European art. He was known as the "talisman of surrealism". Like a collage, his artistic vocation comprised various fragments: he was a composer, poet, publisher, photographer, exhibition maker and above all a passionate promoter of art. In the early 1920s E.L.T. Mesens played an active role in the European art scene, becoming friends with Tristan Tzara, Theo van Doesburg, Erik Satie and other artists. He appointed himself one of the driving forces of the surrealist movement. It was Mesens to whom René Magritte owed his international reputation and it was Mesens who introduced surrealism to the U.K. He surrounded himself with artists, including Roland Penrose, Lee Miller, Max Ernst, Kurt Schwitters, André Breton, Yves Tanguy and Man Ray. His life was entirely devoted to imagination and poetry. Discover l'amour fou in 'The Star Alphabet by E.L.T. Mesens.' Exhibition: MuZEE, Oostende, Belgium (06.07.-17.11.2013).

Belgian Colonial Monuments
This book contains an inventory consisting of 40 colonial monuments related to the Belgian colonial past, from King Leopold II?s Free State to the independence of Congo in 1960, which to date and without exception can all be found in the Belgian public space. Today we experience monuments and the symbolism of memory and veneration in a different way than when they were conceived. The colonial era still has an impact on today?s society, which is why the memorials are now rightly under discussion.00Exhibition: MuZEE, Oostende, Belgium (28.04.-13.10.2019).

Treasure Palaces
From a stunning villa on sunny Capri with Ali Smith to an unlikely temple in the heart of Copenhagen with Alan Hollinghurst, Treasure Palaces brings together over twenty of the world's greatest writers to give their own personal tours of the museums that have awed, haunted and inspired them. Join Andrew Motion as he muses on writerly methods in the British Library, or Matthew Sweet at the hands-on joy of the ABBA museum. Julian Barnes meditates on Jean Sibelius's music, as well as the composer's apple corer, while visiting his home in Helsinki. Jacqueline Wilson encounters the dolls of Le Musée de la Poupée, Tim Winton remembers his first bare-foot encounter with the National Gallery of Victoria, and Aminatta Forna ponders love tokens in The Museum of Broken Relationships. From mausoleums to massive galleries, from London and New York to Kabul and Zagreb, Treasure Palaces explores some of the world's greatest - and sometimes surprising - museums. The result is a collection of moving, lyrical essays that speak to the enduring power of museums in our cultural life, and will leave you longing to revisit your favourite treasure palace or looking for a new one to explore.
