Oorspronkelijke prijs was: € 39,95.€ 12,50Huidige prijs is: € 12,50.
The Danish artist Asger Jorn was internationally reknown for his activities within the CoBrA and the International Situationist groups. Quite apart from his paintings, prints, ceramics and sculptures, Jorn produced a remarkable amount of theoretical work. In contrast to his artistic oeuvre, Jorn’s theoretical arguments have received much less attention from scholars of architecture, art history, or philosophy. ‘L’Architecture Sauvage Asger Jorn’s critique and concept of architecture’ reveals for the first time this largely ignored aspect of Jorn’s work.

Anton Heyboer
The Philosophy of an Original Mind
'The Philosophy of an Original Mind' is not so much about Anton Heyboer, the famous Dutch artist known for his eccentric way of life, but is more a collection of statements and stories by Anton Heyboer himself. These stories have, over the years, been recorded on tape by one of his five wives, Lotti. This special edition by Samsara books and Leslie Sacke Editions also contains many previously unknown photographs of Heyboer and his work from the archives of his wives. This book, with early etchings, paintings, drawings, sculptures and collages, gives an overview of the life, work and mind of this great Dutch artist.kunst
Jorn & Pollock
In the years during and just after World War II, the Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-73) and the American painter Jackson Pollock (1912-56) came to play major roles in the development of a new Abstract Expressionist art. Both drew on Surrealism and Picasso to explore automatism in painting, each breaking through to a unique style around 1943, when Pollock had his first show at Peggy Guggenheim's gallery, and Jorn established the groundwork for working collectively that would lead to the founding of the CoBrA group. In both cases, this led to an incredibly energetic, primitive-seeming painting.kunst

Power & Other Things
The project takes its name from the demand for the transfer of power and other things to the newly independent Indonesia in 1945. It travels through time, from European colonial occupation through the development of the republican state to the trans-national contemporary cultures of today. It looks at the various international exchanges that happened in the territories of contemporary Indonesia, through the images and ideas of artists. These exchanges were of different kinds: trade, culture, religion, ideology and war. They produced a variety of results: violence, oppression, racism, creativity, spiritual awakening, and other things. The ideologies and challenges of modernity are common ways in which Indonesia has been depicted by others and has defined itself over the period. As this modern period recedes into history, the project will seek ways to remember how it has influenced contemporary understanding and ask the current generation of artists to look back in order to rewrite the past and potentially create the conditions for a different future. The catalogue and the exhibition will follow a broad chronological narrative, allowing readers and visitors to learn more about how this huge archipelago has changed over the past two centuries and to observe how it has responded and adapted to influences originating from both inside and outside the islands. The influence of the imperial Dutch and Japanese occupations naturally form a significant element in the narrative of the exhibition as does the constant struggle for different forms of independence or equal treatment by the Javanese and other Indonesian cultures. The importance of Chinese and Arab influence on Indonesia's cultural history will also feature as the exhibition tries to look for alternative ways, alongside the post-colonial, for understanding the present. The presentations will include work made during the residencies as well as new commissions.kunst
