Why care for Nature?

In search of an ethical framework for environmental responsibility and education

By: Dirk Willem Postma

This book is a rigorous, yet accessible introduction into the current philosophical discourses underpinning practices of environmental education. It provides a comprehensive theoretical framework, relating philosophical key issues and educational concerns in an intrinsic manner, against the background of current practices and policies. While the issues discussed are complex and abstract, the book is readable for a general audience.

The Time that Remains

By: David Claerbout,Ziba Ardalan,Ziba de Weck,Ingrid Hoelzl,Dirk Snauwaert,Parasol Unit Foundation for Contemporary Art

Although trained as a painter and draughtsman, David Claerbout (1969) has been taking Belgium and the world by storm with his videos. He works, in his own words, hard but slowly, and he likes to test the endurance of his audience. His films may be as long as 13 hours, he undermines the classic cinema, and teaches us to look in a new way that he calls 'observing'. Claerbout composes his films in his own studio, where he turns thousands of stills and scans into slowly moving films. He expect his public not to be in a hurry and to be prepared to take the time to experience his images. In this first catalogue of his oeuvre, his film and video projects are subjected to serious analysis on the basis of production photos, design sketches and pictures of installations. This offers an exciting point of entry into the method, artistic programme and aesthetic development of the artist.

The Secret Agent

By: Eric C. H. de Bruyn,Séamus Kealy,Dirk Snauwaert,Jason E. Smith

Visual artist Stan Douglas explores the turbulent history of 1970s Portugal, a time when the nation both freed itself from a dictatorship and relinquished its colonial holdings. The book features three works. The first, a video installation titled 'The Secret Agent', follows a story written by Joseph Conrad in 1907. Douglas keeps the plot characters but transports the narrative to Lisbon, soon after the Carnation Revolution. 'Disco Angola', a series of staged historic photos in New York and Angola, juxtaposes the city's hedonistic nightlife with the African nation's brutal civil war. Finally, 'Luanda-Kinshasa' is a six-hour-long film comprising eleven jazz songs from the legendary 30th Street Studio. Exhibition: Wiels, Brussels, Belgium (09.10.2015-10.01.2016).

Rehabilitation

The Legacy of the Modern Movement

By: Dirk Snauwaert,Christophe Van Gerrewey

Avec : Leonor Antunes, Alexandra Leykauf, David Maljkovic, Manfred Pernice, Falke Pisano, Tobias Putrih, Pia Ronicke, Oscar Tuazon, Armando Andrade Tudela, Up (Koenraad Dedobbeleer, Kris Kimpe). La « réhabilitation » est le terme qui désigne la rénovation et la protection historique de l'architecture afin de lui donner une nouvelle vie. C'est le fil conducteur de cette exposition collective qui suit une jeune génération d'artistes et comment ils confrontent et s'approprient cet héritage des concepts utopiques de l'architecture et du design modernes dans leur travail. Le bâtiment Blomme réhabilité, aujourd'hui Wiels, offre le contexte idéal pour mener un examen critique de la façon dont le modernisme est utilisé en architecture comme référence durable pour un groupe d'artistes qui a émergé après la soi-disant « mort » de l'architecture moderniste. L'exposition qui en résulte comprend des sculptures, des films, des collages, des modèles architecturaux et des installations.

Jimmie Durham

Revised and Expanded Edition

By: Kate Nesin,Dirk Snauwaert,Mark Alice Durant,Laura Mulvey,Jimmie Durham

An updated edition of the first - and still most authoritative - book on the legendary American iconoclast Twenty years ago, Phaidon published what has become the definitive study of Arkansas-born Jimmie Durham's career. This highly anticipated new edition brings this important book up to date, tracing his remarkable life from his experiences in the US, Mexico, and Europe - including his early involvement with the American Indian Movement - to his most recent output. It presents a full assessment of his sculptures, performances, wall-based collages, and ersatz ethnographic displays, that deliver ironic assaults on the colonizing procedures of Western culture.
