‘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.

Baule Monkeys
Straying from the traditional art canon of the delicate Baule masks and figures, 'Baule monkeys' explores the darker side of this art form, in all its aspects. This makes it to deal exclusively with the eponymous sculptures. These awe-inspiring bowl-bearing figures were physical manifestations of invisible powers, both malign and benign, and served their communities through the mediation of diviners. Using a group of remarkable figures from the Africarium collection as illustration, 'Baule monkeys' focuses on the creation, usage and form of these bowl bearers and sheds light on the cultural and ritual context in which they operated. Through extensive research, it combines new and fascinating discoveries with all previous relations on the subject. This research is accompanied by many splendid images. Not only does it include an original map and never before published field photos, it also contains 15 objects from the Africarium collection and 40 monkey figures from other public and private collections represented in full-page illustrations, and in smaller formats. This gives the reader a chance to see the works in great detail and from different angles.kunst
Een andere wereld | Un autre monde | Another World
Waar ligt de grens tussen fantasie en werkelijkheid? Hoe onderscheid je droom van delirium, waan van wens, hallucinatie van inzicht? Op welke manier kan je onderzoeken of verbeelden wat zich ergens anders afspeelt? De tentoonstelling neemt, vertrekkend van de vele vragen rond psychose, hallucinatie en waan, twee eeuwen in ogenschouw. Niet om een historisch verhaal te vertellen, maar om uit die periode vijf eigenzinnige oeuvres te lichten die balanceren tussen kunst, kunde en wetenschap. Where does reality end and fantasy begin? When can we talk about an hallucination? How do we bridge the gap between our world and others; and imagine or research what is happening elsewhere? 'Another World' opens the gateway to alternative realities. It shows how science and art have explored the unknown areas of the mind for the last two centuries. As innovative as it is offbeat; this story begins with selections from the oeuvres of four amazing creative thinkers; each of whom have generated a different world. From walking pencils to flying bicycles; materialised ghosts and optical illusions; nothing is too odd for this book and its curious insights into the human mind. The Museum Dr. Guislain in Ghent is a unique and prestigious museum with a vast collection on the history of psychiatry; and an internationally acclaimed collection of outsider art. The museum also organises temporary exhibitions based on their fascination for the not-ordinary ; where delusion and science; art and culture; are exposed in a different way.kunst
