Paperback. Condition: New. "In June 2004, I was officially declared by the government of Belgium a vreemdeling - a stranger, an alien, a foreigner. I remember when I was in the fifth grade, we were encouraged to share with the class what we wanted to become when we grow up. Though it seemed like a simple question, we took our ti…me. So by the end of the lesson, we had produced a long list of "occupations" - a baseball player, a comic drawer, a scientist, a businessman or a journalist. It kept going on and on. Anything children at that age could think of, we possibly wrote them all down. On the day I became a foreigner I tried to recall the list, and foreigner was not on it. I guess none of us thought of becoming one. For my residency at Be-Part, I have decided to work on a novel, or rather, a form of a novel. To me, as a visual artist, it is a stretched reality, translated from visual memories, that lives on paper. Brown is a work of fiction and at the same time an autobiographical collage that depicts a potential future self. Despite the immigrant background, Brown is not about racism. It's about how people define and call a place home, and how people struggle when they're socially disabled. If you are away from home, if you are going to be away from home, if you had been away from home, then Brown is a book for you. " Hou Chien ChengIn collaboration with Be-Part Waregem.

Paperback. Condition: New. "Three two one fire"'Indian Springs', shot between 2012 and 2013, por-trays the photographic fiction during a day in the life of a drone pilot. "At night I cut across the sandy terrain. With two hands on the steering wheel, the car shoots towards the inter-state to Indian Springs, where I pilot militar…y drones. Grainy pixels spread all over the screen. Day and dreams get blurred, and I ask myself again, as I've done for always, whether I'm living in a dream or in reality. (.) Coffee machine, everyday gestures, settling into a leather armchair: vertical joystick, multiple screens console. The game starts, virtual reality-the grid on the screens grows larger and I venture down into the midst of the colored points, headed towards the convulsing horizon in the distance. Soon enough, I'm surrounded only by gridlines, I'm entirely inside it. I feel good. Every day I experience the same surprise at the first contact with the imperceptible of virtual matter. From my fixed position I'm invisible, unassailable, I dominate in close-up a vast territory. (.)".

Paperback. Condition: New. A pulsar (short for pulsating radio star) is a highly magnetised, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing toward the Earth, much the way a lighthouse can only be seen when the light is pointed in the… direction of an observer, and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission. Neutron stars are very dense, and have short, regular rotational periods.

Paperback. Condition: New. Contributions by Elvia Wilk, Graham Harman and Adrian MackenzieIn 1959, the American engineer Paul Baran was charged by the RAND Corporation with the task of designing a telecommunications network resilient enough to survive a nuclear attack. A year later Baran published his proposed solution: a networ…k of distributed nodes without a centralized core. He argued that a distributed network would be indestructible because the connections between its nodes were redundant; multiple connections safeguard a system from total destruction if individual nodes are damaged. A decade later, Baran's distributed relay node architecture formed the conceptual framework for the first system of inter-networked computers, which would become the basis for today's decentralized wireless internet. - Elvia Wilk.

Paperback. Condition: New. The books included in the series Choreography as Conditioning are rooted in a cycle of work sessions entitled CASC at KASK, in which students work together with invited guests. They explore the notions of choreography, understood as ways of organizing subjects in their surroundings, and conditioning in… both art-making and society-making. Where, how, and by whom are things organized and what kind of landscapes of experience are made (im)possible by the practices we enact and encounter? Through Practices is written by artist researchers who have been involved in a three-day public symposium with the same title, exploring ecologies of attention, awareness, senses of participation, and agencies of practice. It presents resonances and sedimentations of individual, shared, and collective practices, mirroring different forms of participating and responding-diverse in/capacities, im/possibilities, and dis/interests as they appear in and through experience.

Paperback. Condition: New. Idiosyncratic Machine is a shape-generating drawing method developed by Kristof Van Gestel in the context of his visual artistic practice. The space in between everyday objects become the basis from which unexpected abstract shapes are systematically derived. The artist then uses these abstract shapes…in the creation of networks. Tis is how this publication Idiosyncratic Copy Machine was conceived. In collaboration with Niek Pladet, a new procedure was developed that applies the logic of the Idiosyncratic Machine in the graphic realm. Two shapes were placed on the plate glass of a photocopier, copied and cut out. The resulting remainder then became the original for a new copy, again yielding a reminder to be worked with. These steps were repeated 30 times. This publication is the documentation of that process.

Paperback. Condition: New. Together with the landscape-architect Stefan Vidts, Stijn Cole went on a journey from the flat isle of Texel (NL) to the ancient woods of Bialowieza (Pl). Two extremes in the European landscape. The book "2 steps aside" tells the story of that trip and shows 6 pencil-drawings. As the base for these dra…wings, Cole took a picture at Branitz, a landscape-park in the geographical and conceptual middle of the traject, moved two steps aside and took a second picture of the same subject. The book has a "Concertina" format so the original movement of 180cm is kept. With text contributions by Patrick Ronse and Stefan Vidts.

Paperback. Condition: New. Little Blues Booklet is a facsimile of a songbook that Hana Mileti? found on the streets of Brussels. The title, which can be found in one of the songs, refers to the Rhythm-and-Blues style of the handwritten lyrics. As Mileti? wasn't able to return the songbook to its anonymous author she decided to p…ut the book into circulation. For the launch Little Blues Booklet will be activated during a live singing performance by Virginie Honvoh who is trained in traditional jazz, a style at the origins of contemporary RnB. The original lyrics are written from a male perspective. In order to overturn the objectifying descriptions of the female body in the lyrics and in order to distrupt the described gender patterns, Mileti? consciously favoured to give the lyrics a female voice. Modern RnB is not about discrete songs, It's about texture, mood and feel. (Rihanna).

Paperback. Condition: New. S. P. A. M. Office looks like a traditional modernist office setting; uniform office furniture made up of cheap, low quality - spam - materials, and a coffee machine and all its obligatory accessories being present. Nylon tie-wraps are holding the mocha colored, cheap structural furniture panels togeth…er, being an ultimate representation of the volatility of spam. The spam officers - hired by the exhibiting organization - check e-mails, detect spam, print and prepare for a proofread and finally archive the letters. They become performers, wearing the uniform and logo of the 'firm', taking turns in a monotonous disarmament process to which spam is subjected. Of course this company mainly develops nonsensical operations, poetically supported by the decorum of bureaucracy. The messages are stripped of their corrupt, commercial deployment.

Artists: Anne Collier (USA), Brian Clifton (USA), Hanne Darboven (D), Masashi Echigo (JP), Jef Geys (B), On Kawara (JP), Elizabeth McAlpine (UK), Matt Mullican (USA), Bruce Nauman (USA), Cady Noland (USA), Tony Oursler (USA), Philippe Parreno (F), Laurie Parsons (USA), Raymond Pettibon (USA), Sean Rasp…et (USA), Gerhard Richter (D) and Will Rogan (USA). The Morning News attempts to convey the sense of anxiety that an unsure economy and world state contribute to a calculated exposure to information which leaves the average cultural consumer with a sense that things are out of balance. This is not a show explicitly about the economic crisis; it is about the state of the society when communication is king, when the news at the top of the hour creates an ambience for your daily life, allowing for a quotidian dose of negativity. More than ever, and at an increasingly fast pace, we are exposed to information from a variety of reliable, partisan and objective sources. We can seek out as much or as little as we want; but by the turning on the radio, computer, or television, we are instantly under the influence and effects of current events and how the lens of the media transforms them. curators: Patrick Ronse and Lumi Tan.

As such, it constitutes a mental space in which fictitious characters find an almost disturbing expansion of their thoughts. Accordingly, the book can be considered as an allegory of human thoughts as (possible) actions: what could happen becomes what does happen. For better and worse.

Paperback. Condition: New. This essay series attempts to stimulate the debate about the moral challenges that internationalisation confronts us with, both in the Netherlands and abroad, and in particular for Artist-in-Residencies (AIRs). The publication is a reflection on how the crisis is reconsidering our international ambitio…ns, starting from a post-COVID society. Internationalisation is an inevitable reality, inherent to the art landscape. The current time calls for a critical reflection on major issues such as climate inequality, plurality and the Western-dominant canon. With contributions and critical insights by Jeanne van Heeswijk, Jack Segbars, Erik Hagoort, Pascal Gielen, Cecilia Bengtsson, Merlijn Twaalfhoven, Hicham Khalidi, reinaart vanhoe and Suzanne van der Beek. Thanks to Jan van Eyck Academie, Mondriaan Fonds, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds en het Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst for their support.

Paperback. Condition: New. "Every time I went home to my apartment on the outskirts of Moscow, I passed hundreds of waiting construction workers, mostly guest workers from Central Asia, involved in the construction of the " Elk Island" block of flats. One day, I decided to take out my camera and capture the movement of my passag…e and my view, and to look back. " - For the occasion of the 4th Moscow Biennale, Debby Huysmans stayed in Moscow for a short period at the border of the Elk Island national park. Debby Huysmans's (°BE,1980) poetic visual language mostly lends itself to rural, small pieces of marked out landscape. In Elk Island Construction Workers she wonderfully manages to translate her photographic ability to the Russian metropolis. Her landscape appears to grow smaller than before, as if she has succumbed to an inherent need of intelligibility. A seemingly unequivocal, poetic gesture. Still, again this is poetry with a sting. Shuffling and wavering, the photographer moves closer, subtle variations in the reactions become visible. Like a game, a classic game, between the maker and the portrayed, between intimacy, privacy, social order and gender. Fortunately, sometimes nature interferes, from behind the fence, that red rigorous fens. (Joachim Naudts).

Paperback. Condition: New. Mastering the Curtains is the result of an intensive research of 2 perspectives in the Islamic Republic of Iran: on the one hand the public and transparent, on the other hand the hidden. The first approach focuses on the content and implementation in the public space of the old popular and politicized…street theatre Tazi'yeh. The second approach explores the hidden world of the Sufis and their political difficulties within the current policy. Originally, these seeming opposites have common ground in Iranian collective memory through a rendition of social and spiritual resistance. The four-year research process involved continuous oscillation between exploration and self-reflection. Reflections on religion, other and I, position and opposition, private and public, transparency and control are combined with series of images as in a 'flow of consciousness'. The social potential of secular mysticism is distilled from this research. With the support of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp.

Paperback. Condition: New. In 2015 The Maarten Van Severen Foundation and the Department of Design of KASK / School of Arts Ghent decided to establish a chair with the aim of conveying the relevance and significance of Maarten Van Severen's work for today's designers. Every year a leading designer, whose work has an affinity wit…h the work of Maarten Van Severen, will give a lecture and a masterclass. He or she will reflect on the common ground between their work and that of Maarten van Severen and on the qualities of his work in light of the current design culture. The first edition was in the hands of Erwan Bouroullec. In December 2016, Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli gave two lectures and during the same week he hosted a three-day masterclass with 10 students from 5 different art schools. After the masterclass, the participating students kept uploading images of their process on the MVSC blog. The result is a fascinating collection of things, which we proudly present as the second MVSC Cahier at Design museum Gent. It contains a transcription of Alfredo Häberli's lecture and a visual overview of the masterclass that documents the students' progress. Design museum Gent is a structural partner of the Maarten Van Severen Chair. Collaborating schools: KASK/School of Arts Ghent?, ENSAV - La Cambre, ?Design Academy Eindhoven?, Aalto University, Universität der Künste Berlin. Students participating in the book and exhibition: Ruth De Jaeger, Janne Claes, Anse Heestermans, Mathilde Pequeur, Corneel De Corte, Ariane Relander, Jonathan Chan, Mette Kahlos, Stefan Traeger, Maximilian Löw..

Paperback. Condition: New. Xenia' is a combination of recent and past portraits that Arian Christiaens made of her sister. Christiaens uses the act of making portraits as an attempt to communicate and understand her sister's personality. 'Xenia' handles the search for identity and how people struggle with fitting in society. Nex…t to this search for identity, Christiaens also addresses the limitations of portraiture and the inability of photography to tell the truth. What is constructed and what is real? Who is Xenia as a character and what does she express? The fear to exist, to (not) feel at ease in your own body and environment, the complexity of ones personality are themes that Christiaens deals with in a publication that floats between a photographic documentary and a (staged) story.

Paperback. Condition: New. F#1-13 is a collection of photographs, sculptures, wind barbs and texts around a gridded flag that blew for thirty-nine days in Citadel Park, Ghent (Belgium). The flag was photographed every third day. A wind sensor, attached to the flagpole, measured the wind direction and speed. The results of the me…asurements - taken at the same instant as the photographs - were plotted out using wind-barbs. Texts were written based on phenomena, dialogues, manuals, revelations and data along the side-lines of the process of capturing the flag. The uppercase, italicized and sans serif F in the title of this book refers to a north-northeasterly wind of 20 knots coming from the direction of the flag and passing exactly between two nearby museums. This book is made with the kind support of the Cultural Department of the City of Ghent, School Of Arts/KASK, Ghent and Smoke and Dust/019.

Paperback. Condition: New. The towering sign saying 'Meubelgalerie Vynckier' rises up in an ordinary street in the urbanised town of Waregem. The advertising message does not adorn the façade, but covers almost the entire blank side wall, which in Belgium is known as a 'waiting wall'. In anticipation of a neighbour who will buil…d his terraced house or business premises against it, this side wall, in brick and lacking any windows, contributes to the phenomenon of typically Flemish or Belgian ribbon development. The architecture, with its glazed brick and large glass display windows tells us that Meubelgalerie Vynckier must have been built at some time in the 1950s. The period of Expo 58, when Flanders, and with it the rural district of Waregem, enthusiastically embraced modernism. The Vynckier furniture business now no longer exists. An artist has moved into the workshops and makes the showroom available as an exhibition space. However, Meubelgalerie Vynckier was part of another modernity, another vision of furnishings, than that in which the Catalan artist Martí Anson grew up. Joaquim, Martí's father, designed and manufactured furniture with the approach of the modernist avant-garde, which did not conceive of utility objects as an artistic craft or as reduced to the role of consumer goods, but as 'constructions' that contributed to building a better - and more social - society . La Botiga de l'Anson (Anson's Shop), the project at Meubelgalerie Vynckier, does not simply show a number of pieces of furniture inspired by Anson's father's work. It is actually an ambiguous installation. It is in fact a revival of a project that he had already developed for the Species of Spaces exhibition at the MACBA (Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona). In collaboration with Be-PART, Waregem.

Paperback. Condition: New. Masashi Echigo earned his degree in architecture at Musashino Art University, Tokyo, and has lived and spent lengthy periods of time in numerous European cities, participating in collective shows over the past few years. Each experience in each place is represented by individual installations that are…spatially and emotionally tied to their context. Each installation, even though conceived independently, necessarily enters into a dialogue with the others, constructing a unique narrative landscape that is in the process of evolution, serving as evidence of his voyage. Like the storyboard for a film, this allows for an unfolding of important events in the relationship between Masashi and the history, inhabitants and culture of, and dominant issues and objects in his host locations. Hans Martens: "Masashi Echigo's work is always about physical and mental space. Or rather, the tensions, contradictions and synergy between the material and the immaterial, between the visible and the invisible, the absent and the present, the literal and what is only suggested.

Yet it was like I couldn't see all of them I wanted to see. My brains couldn't gather together quick enough and take…it all in. And then they were gone. You see what I mean?' That Stief DeSmet 'understands' what Frankie means like no other, how could it be otherwise? What he invariably presents in his work, and again in Paradise, Prototypes and Other Deconstructions, is the fragmentary representation of something that is too agile and too fleeting in its totality - far too agile and fleeting - to be fully grasped. Paradoxically enough, that 'something' cannot be equated to what we often call the 'unreal' beauty of supremely attractive people, or to colourful skies filled with billowing clouds, or even with artistic masterpieces. Nor is it related, in a non-aesthetic sense, to the type of incident that is often characterised as 'too good to be true'. That 'something' is unambiguously real - the absolute reality, namely, of an animal. More specifically: a creature that is wild and non-domesticated. In DeSmet's work, this reality appears to be inherently flawed, or rather, it is too fleeting and agile to be seen and experienced, since we are such imperfect, torn and flawed beings. Our brains don't work fast enough, that is true, and furthermore, a new moment dawns with every blink of the eye, each one of which is diametrically opposed to its predecessor. When reality chooses, above all else, to reveal itself in the form of an animal, it perpetually eludes us - 'you see what I mean?' - and to such an extent that it no longer seems to exist. It is this fact that Stief DeSmet seeks to impress upon us with his work. (extract from the text of Christophe Vekeman)In collaboration with Be-Part Waregem.

Paperback. Condition: New. David Black's latest body of work extends his ongoing exploration of Western Americana into a more fluid meditation on energy, embodiment, and the inevitable impermanence of form. Here, the frame becomes a vessel for transmission, capturing not story but sensation: the spark that animates, the shimmer…that moves between bodies, seen and unseen. These images invite us to consider our own physicality as a threshold - where motion becomes trace, and what lingers in the ether briefly takes shape before dissolving again into light.
