Enjoy and Take Care aantalIn winkelmand In maart 2020 werd ons leven op pauze gezet. Het uitbreken van de wereldwijde pandemie veroorzaakt door het virus COVID-19 dwong landen van over heel de wereld om nieuwe strategie n uit te vinden om de verspreiding van de ziekte tegen te gaan. Dit resulteerde in lockdowns, het sluiten van alle internationale grenzen en social distancing. In lijn met de door de regering vastgestelde maatregelen sloot Tim Van Laere Gallery de galerie voor het eerst sinds de oprichting in 1997 voor meer dan een maand voor het publiek. Na deze periode vond de galerie het belangrijk om het leven en de kunst opnieuw te vieren en besloot een groepsshow samen te stellen met bijna alle kunstenaars van de galerie. Hoewel reisrestricties nog steeds actief zijn, bracht deze groepsshow op een manier de kunstenaars via hun werk weer bij elkaar. De titel van de show ?Enjoy and Take Care!? versterkt dit gevoel van feest, solidariteit en samenhorigheid /// Enjoy and Take Care quantity In March 2020 our lives were put on hold. The outbreak of the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus forced countries around the world to invent new strategies to combat the spread of the disease. This resulted in lockdowns, the closing of all international borders and social distancing. In line with governmental measures, Tim Van Laere Gallery closed the gallery to the public for more than a month for the first time since its inception in 1997. After this period, the gallery felt it was important to re-celebrate life and art and decided to put together a group show featuring almost all of the gallery's artists. Although travel restrictions are still active, this group show in a way brought the artists back together through their work. The show's title "Enjoy and Take Care!" Reinforces this sense of celebration, solidarity and togetherness
Franz West (Tim Van Laere Gallery) Tim Van Laere, Interview Franz West by Andreas Reiter Raabe
Antwerpen -, Tim Van Laere Books , 2017 Bound, Hardcover, 96 pages, Illustrated. NL/ENG. ISBN 9789082714531.
The catalog to the third solo exhibition by the internationally acclaimed Austrian artist Franz West ( 1947, Vienna 2012, Vienna) at Tim Van Laere Gallery. West is without doubt one of the most important sculptors and environment artists of contemporary art. His oeuvre is characterized not only by the forms he invents, but also for the communicative quality with which he directly addresses the viewer, urging him/ her to participate. The exhibition brings together various aspects from the broad oeuvre of Franz West. Both collages, sculptures from papier-m ch , plaster and polyester, furniture, an outdoor sculpture in aluminium and installations from different periods of his career are shown. In the mid-1970s, West made his so-called Pa st cke (Adaptives), movable sculptures made of plaster and metal that were intended to be moved, touched, and handled ? transforming viewers into participants. For West, the essence of the artwork is not the aesthetic quality, but how the work is used. These objects stimulate the ingenuity of the public and disrupt conditioned behavior in the exhibition space. From the 80s, he incorporated more fragile materials, such as papier-m ch and glass bottles in his sculptures, which he combined in the Labst cke (Refresher Pieces). As a consistent continuation of the Pa st cke, West has been working since 1987 to construct furniture for sitting and reclining, using prefabricated elements and discarded industrial products which he covered by stretching fabrics or carpets over them. His work makes us think about our living space and the social and personal activities that are happening there. The artist aims to create a certain interaction between artwork and viewer, between object and subject. An interaction that must ensure that art becomes an open and interactive process. Later in his career, Franz West also focuses on sculptures in the public space. In fall 2018, a major retrospective will open at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and will travel to the Tate Modern, London the following year.
