Cripplewood
Berlinde De Bruyckere at the Biennale di Venezia
J. M. Coetzee and Herman Parret
Berlinde De Bruyckere is a Belgian artist who specialises in sculpture
using various media, including wax, wood, wool, and horse skin and
hair. Published to coincide with De Bruyckere’s participation in the
2013 Venice Biennale, this richly illustrated catalogue traces her work
from conception to installation, providing a multifaceted introduction
to the artist’s complex and compelling work.
Struck by the passion and fierce beauty in the writings of J. M.
Coetzee, De Bruyckere asked the acclaimed writer to curate the Belgian
Pavilion’s exhibition. A previously unpublished text by Coetzee is
included in this volume, as well as correspondence that the two
exchanged throughout their collaborative process. The book is also
enriched by writings by Herman Parret, who explores Saint Sebastian –
the dual incarnation of sensuality and mystical suffering, and Venice’s
quintessential symbol – and his particular significance to De
Bruyckere’s oeuvre.
J. M. Coetzee is a novelist, essayist, linguist, translator and recipient of
the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. Herman Parret is professor
emeritus at the Higher Institute of Philosophy of Leuven University
(Belgium).
Printmaking in Paris
The Rage for Prints
at the Fin de Siècle
Fleur Roos Rosa de
Carvalho and Marije
Vellekoop
In the years between 1890 and
1905, Paris witnessed a
revolution in printmaking.
Before this time, prints had
primarily served reproductive
or political ends, but, as the century came to a close, artistic
quality became paramount, and printmaking blossomed into
an autonomous art form. This gorgeously illustrated and
accessibly written book looks at the circumstances in which
this terrific new enthusiasm for prints unfolded; the principal
players in its development; and the various printmaking
techniques being used.
Featuring highlights from the Van Gogh Museum, which
houses a superb collection of prints from fin-de-siècle Paris,
this enlightening volume shows how the most influential
artists of the day turned their hands to making beautiful
‘impressions’ – prints that were works of art in themselves.
Fleur Roos Rosa de Carvalho is curator of prints and
drawings and Marije Vellekoop is head of collections, research
and exhibitions, both at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

En Atendant
and Cesena
A Choreographer’s Score
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
and Bojana Cvejić
Record book by Michel François
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is
one of the most prominent
choreographers in contemporary
dance. Her 1982 debut with Fase
immediately attracted the
attention of the international dance scene; since then
De Keersmaeker and her company, Rosas, have created an
impressive series of choreographic works that have been
described as ‘pure writing with movement in time and space’.
In these two volumes and accompanying set of 3 DVDs, De
Keersmaeker offers wide-ranging insights into choreography
and into the making of her two most recent large-scale works:
En Atendant and Cesena. In addition to sketches, notes and
photographs, interviews with De Keersmaeker, as well as dance
demonstrations and extensive video clips, are featured. A
second volume is a book of photographs by Michel François.
Bojana Cvejić is performance theorist and maker, working in
contemporary dance and performance also as dramaturge and
performer.
