Wonders are Collectible Thijs Demeulemeester
Taxidermy elevated to fine art Weird and wonderful overview of the fine art of taxidermy, a world between reanimation and reincarnation. Responds to the growing interest in these cabinets of curiosity. At present, a true revival is taking place of the art of taxidermy: butterflies and beetles on pins, stuffed baby chicks and foxes. This phenomenon is everywhere nowadays: from fancy apartments to luxurious boutiques. Museums are reintroducing their taxidermy collections while contemporary artists are blowing new life into this art form – think of Damien Hirst, Koen Vanmechelen or Wim Delvoye. Aren't we all speechless at the ultimate beauty that nature has to offer? Don't we all want to capture it and indulge in these images forever? To capture animals in all their glory in such a way that it shows every flamboyant, scintillating detail is a delicate art. This book gives an overview of the history, the myths and the symbolism, the process, the most wonderful collections and interiors, decorated as true Wunderkammers, and the craftsmen and artists from past and present who elevated taxidermy to fine art. Jeroen Lemaitre (1987) is a young man from Leuven whose talent was discerned in 2014 by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, a museum of the decorative arts and design in Paris. Since then, he has worked under the label of 'Animaux Speciaux' progressing further with his creations using animals, insects and butterflies from the tropics. 245 x 185 mm | 160 pages 120 colour illustrations Hard cover English edition ISBN 9789401434652 EUR 34.99 September 2016

Monteverdi A village in Tuscany Ilaria Miani , CĂŠcile Vaiarelli and Bernard Touillon The extraordinary work of restoration and transformation of a small village in Tuscany Monteverdi is a village in val d'Orcia, one of the most beautiful countrysides of Tuscany and declared a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO. This book illustrates the extraordinary work of restoration and transformation which has been carried out. This charming medieval village has been saved from its state of abandonment and neglect through the care and sensibility of Ilaria Miani, architect and interior designer, who has returned it to its original lovely appearance and supported by Michael L. Cioffi, an American lawyer who fell in love with Bella Italia. This love developed while studying the classics at the University of Notre Dame - from Virgil to Cicero and up through the great literature, philosophy, science and art of the Renaissance. Ten years ago he stepped into the village of Castiglioncello del Trinoro in Tuscany. Although the village was physically dilapidated, he found in her old bones, perched above the rolling fields of Tuscany, the story of a rich history, culture and land. Seduced by this story and propelled by love, he began to restore and preserve the village, giving birth to the vision of Monteverdi, now fully realised, as seen in the pages of this book. Ilaria Miani is a designer with a passion for restoring abandoned architectural sites such as farmhouses, palaces and villages. Her inspirations are old stones, contemporary art, art history and renaissance. She always respects the original style of a place while restrucuting it and renovating it. She stays true to the history and soul of a building yet tries to combine this with new forms and volumes, trying to create a new world that is intuitive and sophisticated. Bernard Touillon is a photographer always looking for the perfect light. He works for different international magazines. Cecile Vaiarelli is a fashion journalist, passionate about Italy, design, art history and travelling.

Cuba La Lucha Unique pictures of a country in transition Carl De Keyzer Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer went to Cuba and came back with surprising, often tragicomical pictures of a split country. Fidel Castro on a wall poster, while a man on the same picture wears a T-shirt that spells FBI. Four Cubans withdrawing money in a bank, while Che Guevara watches them from a portrait above their heads. In his new photobook, with an introduction by curator and publicist Gabriela Salgado, Carl De Keyzer captures Cuba’s duality in pictures. With a master’s eye, he paints the picture of a country that is still rooted in communism, while reaching for Western capitalism. Carl De Keyzer has been a member of the world renowned photo agency Magnum since 1994. His pictures have been internationally published and exposed. The permanent threat of decay in modern society and the impact of power on everyday life are frequent themes in his work. Samples of his work can be found on www.carldekeyzer.com. Gabriela Salgado is an Argentine who lives and works in London. She curated a number of expositions and has worked for Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery. Amongst other things, she has published Contemporary Art in Latin America and Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America.

Belgium Resized Jasper Léonard ‘Honey, I shrunk the city’ Belgium as never seen before, viewed through the eyes of this urban photographer from Antwerp An original photo book for Belgians and tourists alike Amazing, realistic or staged, actual size or miniature?

Wim Vandekeybus 30 years at the top of the dance world This book offers an exclusive glimpse into the head and soul of Wim Vandekeybus, choreographer, dancer, filmmaker, photographer, a homo universalis of art.

A number of compagnons de route, such as David Byrne, Mauro Pawlowski, Peter Verhelst, ‌ offer a personal textual contribution.

His first performance What the Body Does Not Remember (1987) was an international success and was awarded a Bessie Award (New York Dance and Performance Award), a prize awarded for pioneering work. 'Vandekeybus brought into focus a whole new genre of modern dance... Combat rolls, breakneck sprints and savagely wrestled duets became the defining vocabulary of a new generation.' (The Guardian)

Divine Decadence Abattoir Fermé -Investigates the manifestation of decadence through art -Includes works by Félicien Rops, Erwin Olaf, Jan Fabre, Man Ray, Marc Lagrange, Kees van Dongen, and never-before published paintings by Roberto Ferri Theatre collective Abattoir Fermé and the Kasteel van Gaasbeek join forces in their search for the essence of decadence. By means of the works of artists such as Félicien Rops, Erwin Olaf, Jan Fabre, Man Ray, Marc Langrange, and many more, they investigate the manifestation of decadence. Disappointed by the world's imperfection, artists and intellectuals at the end of the 19th century expressed their disapproval for the ruling values. Art, beauty, and luxury seemed to them to be the only way out of the bourgeois reality. In contemporary art also this fine line between sensual refinement and perversity, aesthetics and the morbid, taboo and norm is a recurring theme. This book defies you to rhyme those extremes, face the duality and capture the symptoms of decadence within our society. Stef Lemous is a Flemish actor and director and artistic leader of theatre collective Abattoir Fermé. In all his projects he tries to unravel the 'world behind the world', fantasies and rituals.

Golden Times Wealth and Status in the Middle Ages Peter Stabel, Véronique Lambert, Tim Soens and others Reveals impressive new insights into the middle ages Today's world is the product of the late middle ages. In what is now called 'Flanders', a new kind of man emerged. A practical man, an entrepreneur, a critical man who no longer believed what church and nobility tried to tell him. He discovers the world, creates, produces and innovates. In this book young researchers take us back to the middle ages. With attention for top works of art and unknown gems. This art book has a fresh academic point of view: the economic history of the middle ages from the viewpoint of different social groups, with surprising results on clichéd thoughts such as the passive countryside, the dark middle ages and the role of women in society. Peter Stabel teaches social and economic history of the middle ages at Antwerp University. He was a guest lecturer at University of Pennsylvania and Sorbonne in Paris. Véronique Lambert is a doctor in history. Her publications are about national identity, history and diplomacy in the middle ages. Since 2015 she has focused on historical research, publications, cultural projects and communication.

Politics as Painting Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630) and the Archducal Enterprise of Empire Katharina Van Cauteren -First overview of the works of this 'forgotten' painter - Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630) Apart from a handful of art historians no one has ever heard of the Brussels painter Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630). Nevertheless, De Clerck was a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens, the latter having gone down in history as an artistic trailblazer and painting powerhouse, while Hendrick De Clerck has quietly faded into oblivion. Yet the subtly coded, vibrantly coloured pictures that De Clerck painted for Archduke Albert of Austria and his wife Isabella are political propaganda of the highest order. In creating a mode of archducal representation that could help to gain an empire, the sky is quite literally the limit. De Clerck represents Isabella as wise Minerva, chaste Diana, the Virgin Mary. And that's nothing compared to her husband, for in De Clerck's paintings Albert is transformed into the sun god Apollo or even into Jesus Christ himself. Hendrick De Clerck's mastery of ingenious pictorial strategy made him a leading player in one of the most ambitious projects history has ever seen. For those who know how to read them, his paintings tell a story of power, political promises, and grandiose ambition. Most of all, they are supreme examples of image-building; for as the Archdukes were well aware, even as a monarch you're only as important as you make yourself. Katharina Van Cauteren (1981) is an art historian specialising in the early modern period. With irresistible enthusiasm leavened with insightful perspective she brings the paintings and their patrons back to fascinating life. The result is sometimes funny, sometimes tragic and often surprisingly topical, for in the enterprise of empire, some things just don't change.

Microfactories and their contempory-ists Move aside, Mr Ford Masa & Jon Kleinhample -On the culture of today’s rule-breaking businesses, their worlds, their micro-factories. On their fears, hiccups, dreams and drives -This is a book about a new breed of entrepreneur, tangled up with both tradition and technology Includes interviews with entrepreneurs from around the globe, such as Companion Coffee, tephen Kenn, Hedley & Bennett, … Guided by both traditional and digital techniques, these ‘microfactories’ operate within a contemporary setting, forging new rules for a unique business strategy. To quantify a company as a ‘microfactory’ means elevating their status, recognizing that person’s ability to shift the rules defining operational norms within creative businesses. They are, by definition, the embodiment of a ground-breaking creative renaissance, ushered in by the integration of both tradition and technology into our daily lives, whether business or personal. They operate extremely agile companies with small ecological footprints that communicate directly with their customers. They do not rely on large production facilities; rather on their own, on-demand micro-factories. Living in both the physical city and within a new, expansive, digitally networked community, they define a new breed of commerce. Unbound by location, we see the emergence of a new global landscape benefitting from the intimacy of local actors. This is not your fathers’ globalism, but one shaped by the transparency of social networks. ‘When perfection is contrasted in the same moment by imperfection. When the precision of an industrially produced object is contaminated by the imprecision of the human hand.’ – Masa & Jon Kleinhample Specializing in creatively re-thinking the way in which people dwell, Klein Agency focuses on simple solutions to living well.

On the Trail of Ebola My Life as a Virus Hunter Guido van der Groen -A fascinating story about the history of Ebola written by one of those who discovered it -Popular science that reads like a thriller In the mid-seventies, Guido van der Groen and his colleagues at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Antwerp discovered the deadly virus Ebola. Forty years later, the virus breaks out again in WestAfrica. Why is this virus seemingly unstoppable? Could the epidemic have been prevented? Do we have to fear an unprecedented pandemic? To answer these questions, Guido van der Groen, an internationally renowned virus fighter, goes back to where it all began. As a virus fighter, he dedicated the rest of his career to the study of Ebola, HIV and other viruses. Van der Groen puts this unprecedented manifestation of Ebola into an international health management perspective, lifting his book on the geopolitical shelf as well. The result is an exciting read, which makes critical observations about the present pandemic psychoses and which urges authorities to invest in durable solutions. Prof. Dr. Guido van der Groen is emeritus professor in Virology and former head of the department of Microbiology at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Antwerp.
