This comprehensive volume chronicles four decades of exhibitions held at the esteemed Antwerp-based art gallery, Galerie Micheline Szwajcer.

Throughout its illustrious history, the gallery has remained faithful to its artistic ethos while embracing innovation. This is evident in its dedication to featuring emerging talents, particularly those within the post-conceptual realm. Representing and working with artists such as On Kawara, Lawrence Weiner, Christopher Wool, Luciano Fabro, Ann Veronica Janssens, Dan Graham, Giovanni Anselmo, Lili Dujourie, Liam Gillick, and many more.

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Jef Geys: Painting Clouds at Galerie Micheline Szwajcer, Brussels, 11 December, 2015–23 January, 2016

Since the early 1960s, in addition to his interlocking artistic and pedagogical work, Geys was also involved in the production and distribution of a local newspaper, the Kempisch Reklaamblad, on whose pages he began to publish various textual and pictorial material among the advertisements placed therein. After it was discontinued, Geys took over the paper and continued it under his own direction as Kempens Informatieblad.

Functioning as an alternative to the conventional artist catalog, the issues, over 50 in total, were mostly published in connection with his exhibitions. As an information system directed by the artist, it successively developed into a kind of meta-medium within his practice, through which he himself organized his representation and mediation—beyond the exhibition context.
