In Courtesy of the Unknown. Nikolas Demoen
Op de opening van de tentoonstelling werd het nummer 14 van Posture Editions gepresenteerd: 'In courtesy of the unknown'. Deze editie bestaat uit houtsnedes, collages, documentatie rond de film 'L’Homme qui marche', een essay van Sofie Van Loo en twee prozagedichten van Marc Kregting. De houtsnedes zijn op ware grootte voor het boek gemaakt en werden rechtstreeks op een hoogdrukpers gedrukt. De reeks collages zijn ontstaan in het verlengde van de ovalenreeks suprematisme. Door geometrische tekeningen en details uit Vogue in elkaar te schuiven ontstond een sentimentele abstractie. De cirkelvormige clusters in het boek vormen een ‘salon’ van ogen, benen, voeten en lippen. Lichaamsdelen zijn ingezet op de grens tussen betekenisdrager en beeldend element.
Peter Buggenhout
Buggenhout creates installations/sculptures that seem to fall apart or stick together, organisms in transition and this publication showcases a fantastic selection of his work.

Ground Sea
Imagine a world in which each individual has a fundamental right to be reborn. This idle dream haunts Hilde Van Gelder’s associative travelogue that takes Allan Sekula’s sequence Deep Six / Passer au bleu (1996/1998) as a touchstone for a dialogue with more recent artworks zooming in on the borderscape near the Channel Tunnel, such as those by Sylvain George and Bruno Serralongue. Combining ethnography, visual materials, political philosophy, cultural geography, and critical analysis, Ground Sea proceeds through an innovative methodological approach. Inspired by the meandering writings of W.G. Sebald, Javier Marías, and Roland Barthes, Van Gelder develops a style both interdisciplinary ...

Adriaan Verwée
Adriaan Verwée (b. 1975) makes objects and installations that are caught in the middle ground between the literal and figural, between construction and image. It is as if that decision is still under consideration, or left hanging in the air. Yet many of Verwée s objects appear nevertheless to have a specific function, and as a result are an integral part of the here and now. The temporal and spatial character of his work is enhanced through the tension that the artist quite literally puts on his combinations of different objects: by, for example, giving gravity an active role, or by introducing elements that look incomplete or redundant. These elements often seem more like 'remnants' of the picture rather than a true part of it. Additionally an enormous amount of attention is lavished upon certain materials and their relationships. This lends these objects an aesthetic clarity and quality, which in turn appears to completely contradict their suggested functionality.00Exhibition: Museum M, Leuven, Belgium (29.8.-2.11.2014).
Reviewing Reality
From crab divination in the Cameroon to friction oracles in the Congo Basin, from reading cast objects in Mozambique to spirit possession in Cote d'Ivoire, from Sudanese ebony diviners to South African Xhosa healers, divination systems throughout Africa serve their communities by answering questions and resolving problems. Divination helps people chart a course in their lives through a deeper understanding of past and present. This important book reveals the extraordinary diversity and complexity of African divination systems, focusing on self-knowledge, social reality, and intercultural and historical relations.

Precarity and International Relations
This book addresses the implications of current thinking on precarity, precariousness and the precariat for the study of International Relations and International Political Economy. Drawing on a broad range of critical theoretical resources including literatures on aesthetics and psychoanalysis as well as feminist, Foucauldian, Marxian and postcolonial social theory, it explores the implications of precarity thought for three concepts: Sovereignty, Solidarities and Work in International Relations. Does precarity re-inscribe or undermine the logic and practices of sovereignty? As a common condition and point of mobilization, does precarity represent a new labor activism or does it find ethica...
