MICHAEL BORREMANS. AS SWEET AS IT GETS

TRAMA

Seit er sich Ende der 1990er-Jahre der Kunst zuwandte, hat Micha?l Borremans (* 1963 in Belgien) ein erstaunlich reifes Werk geschaffen, das international Aufmerksamkeit erregte. Die disparaten Räumen, die er in seinen Gemälden, Zeichnungen, Skulpturen und Filme entwirft, kennzeichnet ein unheimliches Gefühl von Entwurzelung und seltsam verstörender Schönheit. In komplexer Farbabstimmung und exquisiter Technik ausgeführt, berufen sich seine Werke auf die Kunstgeschichte und sind doch fest in der Gegenwart verwurzelt. Der Band präsentiert mit mehr als 100, teil erstmals reproduzierten Werken den bisher umfassendsten Überblick über das Oeuvre des Künstlers. Neben einem ausführlichen Interview von Jeffrey Grove mit dem Künstler bietet der Band über 50 äußerst individuelle Beiträge zu ausgewählten Werken, verfasst von namhaften Schriftstellern, Kuratoren, Regisseuren und Musikern. Ausstellungen: BOZAR, Brussel 22.2.-3.8.2014 | Tel Aviv Museum of Art 4.9.2014-31.1.2014 | Dallas Museum of Art 29.3.-5.7.2015

NOTE LIBRAIO

Since the late 1990s, when he first began to produce drawings and paintings, Michaël Borremans has created an extraordinarily mature body of work that has captured international attention. The disparate spaces he imagines in his paintings, drawings, sculptures and films are unified by an uncanny sense of dislocation and an often unsettling beauty. Rendered in complex palettes and exquisite techniques, Borremans' works in all media embrace a rich legacy of artistic progenitors, but remain firmly anchored in the present. Presenting over 100 works created by the artist over a 14-year period in all media, this publication includes many works not previously reproduced in books or catalogues, offering the most complete overview of Borremans' oeuvre to date. Contributions include a concise and incisive overview of Borremans' practice; a revealing, in-depth interview between the main author of the book, Jeffrey Grove, and the artist, addressing process, influence and philosophical and critical issues; as well as more than 50 individual entries and mini-essays on individual works in the artist's oeuvre by notable writers, curators, filmmakers and musicians. Described by the artist as "the mother of all Borremans books," Michaël Borremans: As Sweet As It Gets is published on the occasion of a major mid-career retrospective.<br />Initially trained in photography and graphic design, the Belgian artist Michaël Borremans (born 1963) turned to painting at the age of 30. Work by the artist is held in numerous public collections, including The Art Institute of Chicago; High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Borremans lives and works in Ghent.
