Valérie Mannaerts
An Exhibition--Another Exhibition is the first monograph of the work of Belgian artist Valérie Mannaerts. The book catalogues two solo exhibitions that took place in 2010--"Blood Flow" at Extra City Kunsthal Antwerpen, and "Diamond Dancer" at de Appel arts centre. Dynamically collaging across mediums--from paint to bronze, papier-mâché to concrete--Mannaerts playfully arranges sculptural elements to create spatial installations, scenographies without stages. As scales oscillate and materials remain staunchly mercurial, the works exist in a space of deliberate ambiguity, sitting on the threshold between object and image. For the two exhibitions, Mannaerts manipulated the gallery spaces through the idiosyncratic positioning of diverse spatial objects, creating fields of tension and obscurity, surreal situations that asked viewers to decode the objects staring back at them. The monograph includes an essay by Anselm Franke, a conversation between the artist and Ann Demeester, and images and illustrations of the two exhibitions. Co-published with de Appel arts centre and Extra City Kunsthal Antwerpen Contributors Ann Demeester, Anselm Franke, and Valérie Mannaerts

Valérie Belin: Complete Work
Valérie Belins photographs avoid simple representation or description, even though she often chooses to photograph simple objects, such as glasses, silverware, Venetian mirrors, cars, or animal carcasses. Instead she is attempting to unveil the very essence of her subjects and to delve into the deepest secrets of things, of matter and of light, almost independent of the objects themselves. This comprehensive retrospective of Belins work also includes all her other suites her questioning of corporeality in her explicit studies of bodybuilders; the series of Moroccan brides which broach complex issues of identity and representation; and her investigations of hybrid entities, such as transsexuals, Michael Jackson look-alikes and the mannequins in shop windows.

Le dessin hors papier
"Ce que nous appelons ici « dessin hors papier » correspond à toutes les pratiques graphiques contemporaines qui suspendent l’usage du papier comme support d’un dessin. Ces pratiques ne sont certes pas nouvelles, mais suscitent de nos jours un incontestable regain d’intérêt. Ainsi, tout ou presque peut servir de subjectile aux desseins des artistes : le bleu du ciel, le café noir dans sa tasse, la peau des hommes et des animaux, un parking de supermarché, un rouleau de film super-huit, les écrans au format variable de nos nombreux appareils, le bouillon de culture d’un biologiste... Mais toutes ces excursions hors papier ne sont pas simple extension du domaine de la plume et ...

What is Ornament?.
What is Ornament?' is a question which doesn?t need definitive answers but instead prompts a series of possible discussions. The book is organized as a reader: a collection of contributions, ranging from Vitruvius to the current day dealing, in different ways with the debate around ornament. The reader is the theoretical complement of the homonym exhibition, part of the 5th Lisbon Architecture Triennale?The Poetics of Reason?. The book reflects the narrative structure of the exhibition: looking at fragments and moldings as the occasion in which ornament is discrete and condensed into few precise points; considering columns as ambivalent structural elements; looking at cladding as a conscious...

Scattering of the Fragile - Cherry Blossoms
The European Union maintains a special position in the world of translation: while the United Nations make do with six working languages, the EU uses 23 languages.
