The Grand Atelier
Long before its emergence as a political entity, Europe was distinguished by its intense traffic in goods and people. We too often forget that the trade routes and other navigable highways were trafficked at a very early stage by artists, works of art and rich patrons desirous of satisfying their appetite for beauty. Well-known and lesser known works offer an insight into this "European space for art and ideas" which already existed at the dawn of the Middle Ages. With its remarkable and often spectacular works, 'The Grand Atelier' illustrates various facets and many forms of this artistic interaction. The work covers a long period in the history of art, from the fifth century – the fall of the Roman Empire in the west – to the eighteenth century – the birth of the first great museums; calling on 350 works from well over a hundred European collections. The texts in the catalogue stem from the pens of several European luminaries in the history of art. Mercatorfondspap - 335 blz

America in black and white
'America in black and white' is the stunning early work of John G. Zimmerman, a true icon of American photography. His massive oeuvre gives a unique panorama of American life and culture in the second half of the twentieth century. This publication presents a selection of black-and-white pictures, shot between 1950 and 1978, which show the rough and uncut visual ingenuity of Zimmerman. Zimmerman was a man of many facets and his pictures cover a diversity of subjects, ranging from sports, fashion, arts and architecture to politics and the Jim Crow South of the 1950s. From producing whimsical ads to covering exclusive stories for mainstream magazines such as Life, Time, Sports Illustrated and Paris Match, from photographing the Beatles to shooting the disastrous fire at a General Motors plant. Zimmerman could do it all and did it ? always pushing the boundaries of the photographic medium. In his endless search for a new visual language and the essence of movement, he created whatever he needed to make the seemingly impossible possible. John G. Zimmerman was a refined chronicler, who wanted to depict every sphere of society, but above all wanted to see, to see more, to see it all. Hannibalgeb - 180 blz

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. Lannoopap - 191 blz
