Gelijk het leven is
Catalogus bij de afscheidstentoonstelling van Jan Hoet als directeur van het Gentse Museum voor Actuele Kunst: een evaluatie en verantwoording na bijna dertig jaar.
Michaël Borremans
Die auffallend virtuos ausgeführten, in zurückhaltend-tonigen Farben gehaltenen Gemälde von Michae͏̈l Borremans (*1963 in Geraardsbergen, Belgien) zeigen zumeist einzelne Figuren oder kleine Gruppen, die sehr konzentriert und mit betonter Gestik agieren. Da nicht erkennbar ist, was genau die Protagonisten tun, wirken diese Bilder mysteriös und surreal; vor nur sparsam ausgeführtem Hintergrund führen sie in ihrer deutlich zeitlosen, an Stillleben gemahnenden Welt letztlich sinnlose Handlungen aus - ein durchaus ironischer Kommentar des Malers auf bürgerliche Normierungen und Zwänge. Vorlagen und Einflüsse für seine komplexen und faszinierenden Arbeiten findet Borremans in alten Fotografien aus den 1930er und 1940er Jahren, Porzellan-Kitschfiguren, bekannten TV-Serien wie in der Literatur. Diese disparaten Elemente führt er, in einer mit Joseph Cornell vergleichbaren Art und Weise, in seine intimen und poetischen Tableaux zusammen. Ausstellungen: S.M.A.K., Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Gent 5.2.-10.4.2005 . Parasol Unit, London 3.5.-30.6.2005 . The Royal Hibernian Academy, Gallagher Gallery, Dublin 14.7.-4.9.2005
Raoul de Keyser
After his debut in 1964 the Belgian painter, Raoul De Keyser (1930-2012) developed a working method that was as obstinate as it was tactical, in which the common distinctions between abstraction and figuration dissolve in the poetic binding of the work with the everyday.This catalogue to the first posthumous retrospective exhibition is conceived as a classic monograph on the life and work of the artist.Alongside a detailed account of the development of Keyser's oeuvre, the catalogue contains an comprehensive illustrated chronology as well as, for the first time, a chapter on drawing and photography.Equally interesting are quotes by artists such as Tomma Abts, Maria Eichhorn, Thomas Scheibitz and James Welling (among others) about their influential colleague.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Raoul De Keyser: Oeuvre at Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.), Gent in 2018/19, and Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich in 2019.
Raoul De Keyser
Since 1964, the Belgian painter Raoul De Keyser has been building a highly personal body of work that is exceptionally difficult to categorize. With great individuality, he has successfully reconciled a number of apparent contradictions: figuration versus abstraction, the physicality of paint versus the ephemerality of the image, and exploration of the fundamentals of painting versus references to his personal life and surroundings. Since 1980 De Keyser sets off resolutely down his own path and also marked the beginning of his steadily growing success.

Philippe Van Snick
This publication is the first career-encompassing monographic study of the artistic production of Philippe Van Snick. The result of a long-term collaboration between the artist, a team of researchers and a group of designers, it serves as an instrument for discovering Van Snick's oeuvre as a totality. This book reveals Van Snick's long-standing experimentation with a wide variety of materials and techniques, such as drawings and works on paper, photography, film, sculptures and works in situ. A red thread through the artworks is their close ties to everyday reality, life and nature.
