Willem Oorebeek
Published by Culturgest, Lisbon, 2008, 196 pp. (b/w ill.), 19 × 25 cm, Portuguese/English
Price: €55

Produced on the occasion of Willem Oorebeek’s exhibition at Culturgest, Lisbon, 28 June–21 September, 2008.

Dutch artist Willem Oorebeek’s work is grounded in techniques from the graphic arts. He utilizes different printing processes in a special manner. He is especially interested in how image and language can combine and lead to a unique cross of visibility and legibility. Over the last ten years his production consisted mainly of a series of works in which he appropriates imagery drawn from printed matter that circulates in the public sphere. This catalogue from his 2008 exhibition in Lisbon documents his work and is accompanied by essays from Wouter Davidts and Camiel van Winkel.

Illustrated throughout, the monograph also includes several essays, texts by Sharits and interviews.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition André Cadere: Peinture sans fin at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, 27 October, 2007–20 January, 2008.

André Cadere belonged to a generation of European artists who contested the art object and institutional framework of the art world in which they operated. Best known for carrying his Barres de Bois Rond—Round Bars of Wood—wherever he went. His appearances at the most important private views of contemporary art across Europe became legendary. With his round bar of wood in hand he would intervene in a provocative way on other artists’ exhibitions in galleries and museums.
