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.

TRACK
TRACK is an art experience taking place in the public and semi-public space of Ghent. It offers enriching and unexpected encounters with the city, its history and its inhabitants, stimulating reflection on urban realities and, in a wider sense, the contemporary human condition. Thirty-five international artists were invited to conceive new artworks strongly rooted in the urban fabric of Ghent, but linking the local context with issues of global significance. Participants include multi-media artist John Bock, performance artist and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis, painter Erik van Lieshout, and visual artist Mircea Cantor, among many others.0Exhibition: Gent (12.5.-16.9.2012).
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.
S.M.A.K. Highlights for a Future
S.M.A.K. Highlights for a Future' is the first catalogue of the collection of the S.M.A.K. Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art in Ghent since its founding in 1999.

Ausst. U.d.T.: Jannis Kounellis
Having made a name for himself in the Roman art scene of the early 1960s, Jannis Kounellis resurfaced, with extraordinary intuition and creative force, in the Arte Povera movement -- the first Italian art movement to be recognized on an international level. Using materials that were initially considered unusual, such as wool, coal, live animals, plants, and theatrical sets, and endowed with a keen sixth sense, Kounellis worked to eliminated the ideological boundary that separates life from art, ethics from aesthetics, creation from production, the social and the political from the individual and the anarchic. Kounellis's intense artistic odyssey, his more than four decades of fervent and impassioned activity, is here richly illustrated on the occasion of his first large-scale exhibition in Belgium.
