Architecture affects people. The architecture of hospitals contributes to the well-being and recovery of patients. This bold proposition dates back to the late 18th century, and has been a recurring theme in the functional development of hospital architecture ever since. The most recent manifestation of this was the phenomenon of ‘Evidence-Based Design’, which originated in the USA. This methodology compares the effects of various spatial factors and provided indisputable evidence that architecture does indeed work for the first time. The positive influence of architecture is one of the two cornerstones of ‘The Architecture of Hospitals’. The other is architecture as an historical discipline with a wide-ranging cultural dimension. The hospital, being a public and representative building with a special societal function, is the ideal vehicle to express this cultural dimension.

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
From Titian to Rubens
In 2017 the Rubens House in Antwerp received two exceptional masterpieces on long-term loan from a private collection: the Vision of Saint Catherine, a painting that has meanwhile become known worldwide as 'David Bowie's Tintoretto', and Portrait of a Lady and her Daughter, one of Titian's rare double portraits of a woman and child. To mark the return of these two iconic paintings to their native city of Venice, the Fondazione Musei Divici di Venezia has organized, in collaboration with the Flemish Community, the City of Antwerp and VisitFlanders, a large retrospective exhibition of Flemish art. From Titian to Rubens. Masterpieces from Antwerp and other Flemish Collections provides a rich overview of the best that Flemish art has to offer. The exhibition contains important loans from the leading Flemish museums with significant collections of seventeenth-century art. It also features a selection of outstanding works from private collections in Flanders. These masterpieces from Flemish collections, both public and private, hardly ever leave their homes, and some are being shown in public for the first time at this exhibition.kunst
Constantine Petridis
Luluwa
Living in the region between the Lubudi and Kasai rivers in south central Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Luluwa people are known for their elaborately carved male and female figure sculptures, masks, and decorative arts. Constantine Petridis draws on first-hand accounts of numerous explorers, missionaries, colonial servants, anthropologists, and art historians who visited the region between the 1880s and the 1970s, to comprehensively situate the Luluwa's ornate art in its original environment of production and use. Through a close study of published and unpublished sources as well as museum objects and archival photographs, this book sheds new light on the historical context of one of central Africa's most spectacular artistic legacies, whose creation presumably dates back to the second half of the 19th century. 'Luluwa' offers a comprehensive survey of the intricate carved male and female figure sculptures of the Luluwa people of central Africa.kunst
