About this book

This exhibition inaugurates the new space of the gallery, which was designed by architects OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen. 0At first sight Adrian Ghenie's (°1977, Baia-Mare; lives and works in Cluj and Berlin) paintings deal with subjects that carry a historical set of references, but collective memory is constantly challenged by enigmatic prophetic actions, occulted and personal folds in the temporal linearity. 0Jonathan Meese (°1970, Tokyo; lives and works in Berlin and Hamburg) is renowned for his multi-faceted work, including wildly exuberant paintings and installations, ecstatic performances, and a powerful body of sculptures. All of Meese's work is driven and supported by a striving for a rule of art, the dictatorship of art. 0Rinus Van de Velde (° 1983, Leuven, lives and works in Antwerp) is mainly known for his large-scale charcoal drawings. Although these drawings still play a prominent role in his work, Van de Velde is increasingly evolving towards a 'total artist', creating a tension between fiction and reality through the use of different media such as drawings, sculptures, installations and film.00Exhibition: Tim van Laere Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium (20.04.-19.05.2019).
