Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (aka, AMVK), studied at the Fine Arts Academy of Antwerp and has been prolific in her output of drawings and other works on paper and synthetic material, as well as short videos, since the early eighties. A straightforward feminist tone pervades in all her works, in which the erotic meets machine-fetishism. She explores the relation between art, science, politics and social issues. For years she worked in the periphery of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Brussels, where the functions of the human brain are studied and reconstructed. There she explored the uneasy accessible area of the unconscious. Hence, she positioned herself within a reviving tradition where scientists and artists try to collaborate and attempt to achieve a more humane society. (text extract from AMVK’s website)

Her artist’s publication.‘33 Vrouwenreeksen’ is available via our webshop, Copyright Bookshop and Mu.ZEE bookshop.

Elena Bollette designed Bart Stouten’s book ‘Haydn, het Al en Ik’ under three themes: blue - silence - music.

BLUE was generated due to the philosophical and almost holy texts, therefore the blue colour becomes the red-thread of the book, enhancing and repeating the sacred use of blue in historical religious painting.
SILENCE appears through symbols, that crop up seven times throughout the book. These symbols are used in music theory writing and symbolise The Seven Last Words of Christ which are mentioned in the text: the seven sonatas in Haydn’s composition.
MUSIC embodies rhythm and the design of the book attempts to resonate a graphical interpretation of this within the pages. Rhythm is also seen in Arpaïs Du Bois’ works on paper which appear alongside the texts, like a diva’s voice in an opera. Essentially, the elements of the book are conceived like a music score.

In light of Spring 2024 Couture week, we reflect on some of the images made by Man Ray of the greatest couturier of all: Elsa Schiaparelli and her designs.

“Man Ray was a widely versatile artist who worked with a range of different media and did not like to be pigeonholed. Fashion as such did not seem to be a particular interest of his, but dressmaking was part of his youth and photographing fashion played a crucial role throughout his career. The way he portrayed women and their clothing continues to influence fashion photographers today. Man Ray used new and unexpected angles, employed artistic staging, and applied such innovative processes as solarization andmultiple exposure to his fashion photography. In recent decades, fashion designers continue to find inspiration in his Surrealist imagery. This is most notably true for Belgian designers, with their avant-garde mindset.Completely in line with the concept of Surrealism, these references are often subconscious. The first reference to Man Ray in Belgian fashion, however, was in fact explicit and can be placed squarely at the entrance of the Brussels-based Norine couture house.” ~ Romy Cockx

Sometimes the smallest books are the most powerful. ‘Tomorrow’s Language’ by Louwrien Wijers is a perfect example of that. “Language is the medium of which we all exist” and this book is a fine demonstration of that quote. Conversations noted down during art meets science and spirituality in a changing economy. Five days of talking about a possible future at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1990 and published on the occasion of the Tomorrow’s Language exhibition at in 2022.

LUCKY / Udachny by .vanassche shows a documentation of a small mining town in the car East of Russia called Udachny - a remote region captured in the icy grip of winter most of the year. A frozen world of dense taiga and immense tundra zones, hardy pine trees, rushing rivers, and impressive mountains. Few people choose to live here, but those who do are proud citizens.
Yakutia is known as the treasury of Russia. It is one of the world’s richest regions in natural resources. According to a Siberian legend, God once spilled a bag of earthly treasures over this part of the country. A thick layer of permafrost covers large reserves of coal, gas, gold and – diamonds.
Despite the barren climate most of the year, the heart of the people stays warm. The hospitality and optismism of the inhabitants soothes the harsh climate. It is they who turn the scenery of a frozen and isolated world, defined by extraordinary contrasts, into a vibrant and colorful community.

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven’s artist’s book ‘33 Vrouwenreeksen’ will be presented at Copyright Antwerpen on Sunday 14th January with a New Year’s drink.
The two volumes are structured around AMVK’s ’33 Vrouwenreeksen’ (‘Women’s Series’) which the artist created between 1981 and 2016 by processing female nudes from erotic magazines prior to the sexual revolution. ’33’ provides us with a key to the artist’s thinking process linking images to abstract concepts based on predetermined systems, through which knowledge is obtained and validated.

The Dutch-language version was presented at KANAL-Centre Pompidou and at WEST Den Haag in December and now locally in Antwerp.

Universal Loneliness by Lilwaukke is a book of short poems that will be launched on Friday at Galerie Halot in Brussels at 18:00. Co-published by Bruno Devos at Brouwn Fox and made by at

“I am a social and talkative creature often leaning on others. I am twenty-two years old and when the teenage years came to an end, a new and overloaded stage of life appeared with high and harsh expectations I had set. Because of my hyper-active brain, a stormy sea of trouble rose up and so during the first years of my twenties, I longed for a path where I could enjoy being alone.

In January 2023 I went to London, without a particular plan other than to disengage and this led me to writing. The pen and paper became a technique for testing myself to be alone for one month and this loneliness triggered me in ways I did not know before: it spurred an intensity in me. When I returned to Belgium I kept hold of the London energy. I made selections of my writing and thought to myself: ‘okay let’s do this, let’s make a book’.

Universal Loneliness can be seen as a pocket book: a personal object that reflects my thoughts on life, my impatience, and the over-excitement for living and therefore fear of dying. Better said: a fear of being bored when you’re dead. This is a trip through my high frequency brain and the way it’s being filtered. It also engages with how to solely be somewhere and breathe, where there is nothing that keeps me busy but myself and to dwell in awareness of my own head space. It is a luxury to be in a state of boredom and it’s fascinating to create your own entertainment.

Essentially, Universal Loneliness a collection of thoughts, poems and anecdotes. Why poetry? There was no plan for it, it just came into being. Because of the way I’m thinking and writing, it naturally falls into poetry; with vulnerable texts. By showing a playful way of living, I sprinkle my thoughts over the pages, reminding the reader of the sweetness of solitude; a game you can play, a game for yourself.”

30 november in gesprek met @ 19h00

Het boek van schoonheid en toeval is een persoonlijke zoektocht langsheen twaalf ontmoetingen waarin schoonheid en toeval de rode draad vormen.
Marie Peeters gaat in gesprek met mensen waar ze een fascinatie voor heeft, aangewakkerd door de verwevenheid van hun werk en persoonlijkheid.
In volgorde van verschijning zijn dat:
Stijn Tormans, Katelijne Damen, Ludo Abicht, Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven, Johan Bonny, Lieve Joris, Guido Belcanto, Marie Julia Bollansée, Meggy Rustamova, Hendrik Vos, Chantal Pattyn en Liliane Saint-Pierre
Marie zoekt naar wat het geheel van schoonheid en toeval in hun leven betekent, maar zij vragen dat ook aan haar.
Zo ontstaat er een wisselwerking tussen auteur en gast waarin beiden zich kwetsbaar opstellen en je de drijfveren van Marie leert kennen die ongepland leiden naar de laatste ontmoeting met Liliane Saint-Pierre.
Dialoog, gedachten, fantasieën, observaties; met een melancholische blik, die detail en humor in zich draagt, leidt ze je langs dat wat het leven de moeite waard kan maken.

Haydn, het Al en Ik by Bart Stouten - now available on our webshop. Bart Stouten is a Belgian poet and writer who has made a significant impact on the literary scene of his country. As a radio personality, he has shifted his focus lately to writing, and since then, has become a prolific author of poetry, essays, and prose. Stouten’s work is known for its depth of emotion, clarity of language, and philosophical themes that explore the complexities of human experience. His poetry has been widely published in anthologies and literary magazines and has received critical acclaim for its thought-provoking nature. With his unique voice and talent for capturing the beauty and complexity of the human condition, Bart Stouten is a major force in the world of Belgian literature. At a certain moment, Bart was invited by an organization to write seven verses that were inspired by Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze - an orchestral work by Joseph Haydn. Bart wrote text’s with a contemporary touch, approximately 250 years after the original. In this publication titled ‘Haydn, het Al en Ik’, Bart Stouten shares these writings and his feeling’s on the world today. Thanks to publisher Bruno Devos, Bart Stouten was introduced to the artist Arpaïs Du Bois. Bart discovered that her personal and intimate, poetic and playful, reflective and still artworks matched his writing, and so they were bought together in dialogue in this publication. Haydn, het Al en Ik is a testimonial - bringing intellectual and artistic people from different eras together.
