Thursday 21/06/2012 until Sunday 02/09/2012- Manor Grunewald in 'collide to reunite'
With: Leigh Wells U.S.A. - Isabelle Cordemans B - James Gallagher U.S.A. - Manor Grunewald B - Tom Woestenborghs B - Veerle Symoens B - Emmeline De Mooij NL - Lidy Jacobs NL - 7S Gallery presenteert de collage tentoonstelling "collide to reunite". Acht kunstenaars uit binnen- en buitenland geven een actuele invulling aan het genre collage. Al te vaak wordt collagekunst geassocieerd met het toevallig ontdekken van motieven tijdens het lezen van kranten, tijdschriften en boeken. De deelnemende kunstenaars trachten dit te doorbreken. Met behulp van gevarieerde technieken en materialen gaan de acht elk op hun eigen wijze om met het medium collage. Ze komen los van het klassieke knip en plakwerk en maken onder andere gebruik van schilderkunst, fotografie, make-up, kleeffolie, digitale collage, assemblage, etc ... - http://www.7sartgallery.com7S Art Gallery, Zandhoven (B)
Thursday 21/06/2012 until Sunday 09/09/2012- Hermann Nitsch
In an extensive solo exhibition, the Carinthian Museum of Modern Art is showing the complex and multifaceted work of Hermann Nitsch ? one of the most important and controversial contemporary Austrian artists. The exhibition shows works from all the periods of the extensive yet extremely compelling ?uvre, which is the culmination of the total artwork, the Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries. It refers to all disciplines and resources of sensuous expression used by the universal artist Hermann Nitsch to appeal to all five senses and combine them in an extreme overall experience, aiming towards heightening and orgiastic intensification of feeling and perception. The overview ranges from early paintings and drawings from the 1950s ? in which the artist recreated representations of religious figures by historic predecessors such as Rembrandt and Tintoretto ? through action paintings, splatter paintings and picture objects, right up to current paintings. Special attention is given to his graphic art, ranging from informal drawings through architectural drawings for the Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries, to his breathtaking prints. Also included are photographic and film documentations, as well as action relics, music, scriptural scores, colour spectrums and a collection of scents which complete the survey of all areas of this total artwork. A special highlight is the Burgkapelle, which Hermann Nitsch uses ? in a almost idealised way ? to reflect the religious aspects of his own works against the background of baroque frescoes by Josef Ferdinand Fromiller. The majority of the works in the exhibition are the property the artist. Numerous other works are on loan from Austrian and international, public and private collections. http://www.mmkk.atMuseum Moderner Kunst Kärnten, Klagenfurt (AT)

2012 will see the third edition of the Biennial of Painting. This exhibition project arose through the museum operation of both the Roger Raveel Museum and the MDD, which aims to contextualize and update the recent art historical past. The 2012 edition brings the Image of Man into focus: how did artists in the twentieth and twenty first century represent man and what were their intentions? http://www.rogerraveelmuseum.be - http://www.museumdd.beRaveelmuseum, Machelen-Zulte (B)
