‎Lieve De Pelsmaeker is allicht voor velen een onbekende naam. Hoewel in de kunstwereld het cynische gezegde gangbaar is dat een goede kunstenaar een dode kunstenaar is, mag men om bekend te blijven niet te vroeg sterven. Dit overkwam Lieve de Pelsmaeker. Nochtans heeft ze een rol gespeeld in de geschiedenis van de kunst die het medium keramiek als een volwaardige sculpturale expressievorm beschouwt. Met daarenboven een avant-gardistische dimensie. Vanaf 1964 was ze aanwezig in collectieve tentoonstellingen die men ? ook vandaag nog ? gerust internationaal mag noemen. Ze begon begin in de jaren zestig als materiekunstenaar die de natuurlijke dimensie van het keramische ten volle liet zien via abstracte vormen. Sculpturen die de organische verwantschap toonden met de lavastenen. Een vulkaan is immers een natuurlijke oven die met een bijzonder snelle dynamiek nieuw gesteente creeert. Dit in tegenstelling tot het feit dat we gewoon zijn te veronderstellen dat stenen ouderdom hebben. Lieve De Pelsmaeker herschiep dit proces in haar oven. Ze was daarin toen vernieuwend maar niet uniek. Dit laatste was ze wel wanneer ze een combinatie maakte tussen keramiek en assemblagekunst. Ze gebruikte hiervoor afgedankte stukken van de elektriciteitsindustrie zoals stopcontacten, zekeringen, toppen die draden in de goede richting hielpen leiden enz? Nog experimenteler werd ze toen ze haar keramische muziekinstrumenten maakte. Ze gaf hieraan de naam ?sonomobielen?. Deze waren niet louter functioneel, maar konden ook als volwaardige sculpturen doorgaan. Sonomobielen zijn objecten in keramiek die, zoals hun naam het zegt, bewegen en geluiden voortbrengen. De voortgebrachte klanken, al dan niet in concertverband, doen denken aan de eenvoudige muziek van primitieve culturen. Anderzijds verwijzen deze klanken naar de geluiden uit de kinderjaren, wanneer men plezier vond in het horen van een rammelaar en het ratelen van speelkaarten tegen de spaken van het eerste fietsje. Het werk van Lieve De Pelsmaeker moet door verschillende zintuigen simultaan ervaren worden, zonder de totaliteit te laten verloren gaan, zoniet wordt het zinloos. Een buisje is niet zomaar een buisje, het is een hoorn, een luidspreker, een klankkast, maar ook een sierlijke vorm, gemaakt uit korrelige tastbare materie. Je kan zien, voelen en horen. Kortom, het is een ruimtelijke ervaring, die aanzet tot mijmeren, zodat de artistieke manifestatie innerlijk voortgezet wordt. De toeschouwer-bespeler geniet van een meerdimensionale ervaring: visueel, tactiel en auditief. De toeschouwer blijft niet meer louter contemplatief, maar hij wordt opgenomen in de totaliteit van het artistiek gebeuren: de happening rond het object. Logos, een werkgroep voor geengageerde avant-gardemuziek is er ooit (1975) in geslaagd een ?sonomobilofonie? te componeren en uit te voeren. Het geheel kan een interessant experiment in de elektronische muziek genoemd worden. Deze toepasbaarheid doet geen afbreuk aan de sculpturale waarde van het werk van De Pelsmaeker . ‎

‎Belgian photographer Marc Lagrange has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most original and talented erotic photographers around. Taking a distinctive approach to setting voluptuous scenes, Lagrange meticulously composes timeless settings-with each location and prop carefully chosen to enhance the romantic and revealing mood. Building trust and chemistry with his models, Lagrange is daring but never crosses into mere titillation. The tension is palpable and a sense of mystery pervades each elaborate vignette. Combining the glamour of classic Hollywood with the sensibility of an Old Master painting, all his alluring heroines seem at ease and approachable-yet just tantalizingly out of reach.‎

‎Egisto Macchi: The Assassination of Trotsky. Sources of the Creative Process‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 156 pages, Size:240 x 340 mm, Illustrations:60 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503593517.‎

‎Summary This volume traces Egisto Macchi's creative process for the soundtrack of The Assassination of Trotsky directed by Joseph Losey (1972). Through a close reading of the sources preserved at the Egisto Macchi Collection at the Institute of Music, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, (Venice) and at the Joseph Losey Collection at the British Film Institute (London), the book sheds light on the first collaboration between Losey and Macchi, which continued in the following years for the film Mr. Klein (1976). Why did Losey choose this apparently unknown composer? How did an avant-garde composer approach the cinematic system? What kind of audio-visual experience did Macchi and Losey explore through this film? To answer these questions, the volume deals with different aspects of the creative process, combining letters, notes, drafts, sketches, and the final orchestral scores. The introductory essay presents Egisto Macchi within the context of the Roman avant-garde and the cinematic environments of the Sixties and early-Seventies. The volume is complemented by a wide selection of sources reproduced in facsimile.‎

‎Milano, Silvana, 2012 Paperback with flaps, 280x220mm, 192p, 150 colour illustrations. ISBN 9788836622498.‎

‎In Spring 2012 the Museo d'Arte of Lugano will present in Villa Ciani a wide retrospective of the work of Tony Cragg (Liverpool, 1949), one of the most significant artists in the contemporary scene. Through some forty sculptures and assemblages, and a hundred drawings and etchings, the exhibition will retrace the artist's creative history from the late Seventies up to the most recent works. The exhibition in Lugano, and its accompanying catalogue, will however not be a simple presentation of the wide range of visual ideas and forms generated by the artist in the course of the years. The selection of the works on display and their sequence will also allow, together with the works on paper, to grasp the logic and the creative processes which lie at the basis of the most revolutionary shapes in contemporary sculpture. The catalogue will also include texts by Marco Franciolli and Guido Comis, as well as an interview to Tony Cragg never published before. English/ IT edition ‎

‎Renaissance Music in the Slavic World‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, 304 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:32 b/w, Languages: English, French, Italian. ISBN 9782503582429.‎

‎Summary In the essays collected in this volume, leading scholars from Croatia, the Czech Republic, and Poland, as well musicologists from Western Europe, take on the challenge of fulfilling a historiographical and cultural gap in music history by restoring the place of the countries of Central Europe that, as Milan Kundera put it succinctly, 'vanished from the map of the West'. The opportunity to consider 'other' renaissances enlarges the historiographical perspectives of Renaissance musicology, going beyond the traditional focus on the Franco-Flemish or Franco-Italian axis, and opens new scenarios on unexplored Renaissance music. What was it that happened on a cultural and musical level on the Dalmatian coast - influenced by the economic boost of a powerful Venice? The same question emerges when considering Habsburg Prague and its renewed, central role in the European political theatre, and as a reaffirmed capital that inaugurated a period of economic and cultural renaissance for the Bohemian Kingdom. How did the secularization process evolve in these territories, caught between the religion wars following the Counter-Reformation in the West, and the Turkish threat on the East? What peculiar features does the musical production of these territories reveal? The preference accorded to the expression Renaissance Music is not to be intended as a shortcut. The intention of the contributing scholars is to focus on, and to handle independently, the endogenous cultural production without considering it only as a phenomenon of importation or as the mere imitation of an existing model. In this way, borders reveal a dialectical function in the context of musical Humanism, revealing here, maybe for the first time, an authentic European dimension. The essays in this volume were undertaken within the framework of the European programme EACEA - Culture Programme 2007-2013 Aux confins de l'Humanisme musical: monde slave et culture m diterran enne, developed between 2010 and 2012 by the Centre d' tudes sup rieures de la Renaissance in Tours, the Matica Hrvastka - Ogranak Dubrovnik (Mediterranean Study Centre of Dubrovnik), the Univerzita Karlova v Praze, and the University of Palermo.

‎Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2007 Hardcover with dustjacket, 352 pages, 130 illustrations, 26 x 15.5 cm. ENG text fine! ISBN 9780521857970.‎

‎In this book, Clemente Marconi provides a new interpretation for the use of figural decoration in Greek temples of the archaic period, through a study of the archaic metopes of Selinus. The study of figural decoration on Greek temples has traditionally been identified with the broader study of architectural sculpture. At the same time, the original, articulated appearance of archaic temples has been fragmented into a discussion of individual types. Marconi argues against both the typological approach and the tendency to investigate style and iconography as two aspects unrelated to the cultural and social background within which temple decoration operated. He explores the relation between style and function and examines the function of figures on temples within the cultural and social context of the communities for which these images were created. Critical to this exploration are the reintegration of the figures into the fabric of buildings, the space of archaic sanctuaries and cities, and the ritual dimension that represented the context for the reception of the figural decoration of Greek temples.‎

‎Summary In the study of the ancient world, Babylon can be considered as the most impressive representation, historically, archaeologically, and in literature, of urbanism in the Near East. This first example of an urban centre and its cultural heritage ? both tangible and intangible ? provides a focal point for discussions of historical and cultural memory in the region. The eleven contributions gathered here draw together multidisciplinary research into Babylonian culture, exploring the epistemic foundations, contacts, resilience, and cultural transmission of the city and its milieu from ancient times up until the modern day. Through this approach, this volume is able to support conversations concerning the historical and cultural memory of Babylon and promote a dialogue that cuts across, and unites, both cultures and academic disciplines.

‎Belgian Impressionism. The Hidden Masterpieces A tribute to Jean Colin ‎

‎Aartselaar, Charles Catteau, asbl , 2017 Hardback, 310x250mm, 304p, 110 colour illustrations, English/ French/ Dutch (NL) edition . ISBN 9789491218095.‎

‎Jean Colin (1881-1961) is a Brussels painter that is no longer known today because he often followed the way to realism. This way of painting, which while he was alive fully assured him success, has passed fashion and no longer draws art lovers. But Colin also left high level impressionist works that have no longer been shown since his death, works he painted for his own pleasure, conscious as he was that his conservative customers couldn't appreciate them. After Colin's death, most of his impressionist works were spread out between the members of his family-in-law or bordered in the museum reserves. This ?tribute? is the amazing story of what happened to Jean Colin and to his hidden masterpieces. The introduction essay is by Eric Min, biographer of James Ensor, Rik Wouters and Henri Evenepoel. Jean Colin (1881-1961) est un peintre bruxellois qu'on ne connait guere aujourd'hui parce qu'il a surtout suivi la voie du realisme. Cette facon de peindre, qui lui assura de son vivant un plein succes, a passe de mode et n'attire donc plus les amateurs d'art. Mais Colin a aussi laisse une ?uvre impressionniste de haut niveau sur laquelle on fit silence apres sa mort, des tableaux qu'il peignit pour son propre plaisir, conscient du fait que sa clientele conservatrice ne pouvait les apprecier. L'artiste disparu, la plupart de ses ?uvres impressionnistes furent reparties entre les membres de sa belle-famille ou confinees dans les reserves des musees. Cet ? hommage ? est l'etonnant recit de ce qu'il advint de Jean Colin et de ses chefs-d'?uvre caches. L'essai d'introduction est d'Eric Min, biographe de James Ensor, Rik Wouters et Henri Evenepoel. Jean Colin (1881-1961) is een tot op heden nauwelijks bekende Brusselse kunstschilder, omdat hij meestal werkte in een realistische stijl. Kunst die toentertijd vlot kopers vond, is vandaag echter uit de mode en wordt niet meer door de geroutineerde kunstliefhebber gewaardeerd. Nochtans heeft Colin ook een meesterlijk impressionistisch oeuvre nagelaten, al werd geen enkel stuk ervan ooit postuum geexposeerd. Colin schilderde die doeken immers voor zijn eigen plezier. Hij besefte dat zijn conservatieve clientele er niet rijp voor was. ‎
