Not every solution is an answer to a problem. A new volume of witty, absurd, and at times hilarious hands-on solutions for our everyday environment. The Brussels-based German artist David Helbich started collecting Belgian Solutions in 2006: he made photos of the peculiar and sometimes hilarious, no-nonsense solutions that he spotted in his daily surroundings. Once he started to share his photos online on social network platforms in 2009 the project grew rapidly, with contributions posted by Belgian Solution spotters from around the world. In 2013 he published his first collection of photos, a sequel followed in 2015 and now he brings us a third volume of absurd and hilarious solutions, bound in a beautiful linen softcover.Conceptual artist David Helbich (1973) was born in Berlin and has been living in Brussels since 2002. He studied composition and philosophy in Freiburg and in Amsterdam and has created various projects as sound, installation, and performance artist and street photographer.

Der große flämische Maler Pieter Bruegel der Ältere (ca. 1526/31-1569) war ein äußerst fantasievoller Maler und Zeichner. Seine wunderschönen, symbolträchtigen Landschaften sowie seine religiösen Bilder sind berühmt für ihre Volkstümlichkeit und ihren Blick auf das Alltagsleben der damaligen Zeit.Besonders intensiv widmete Bruegel sich dem Leben der Landbevölkerung, was ihm den Spitznamen "Bauernbruegel" einbrachte. Ob Jäger im Schnee oder ein ausgelassener Jahrmarkt: Bruegel erhob Landarbeit, Dorffeste und Bauernspiele zum Thema der Kunst. Doch auch seine imposanten Bilder mit religiöser und moralischer Thematik, darunter Triumph des Todes und Turmbau zu Babel, beeindrucken heute noch genauso wie im 16. Jahrhundert und haben, von den Schlachtszenen in den Herr der Ringe-Filmen bis hin zu Don DeLillos Roman Unterwelt, die zeitgenössische Kultur inspiriert.Von Bauern bei der Ernte bis zur Bekehrung des Saulus, von fröhlichen Hochzeitsprozessionen bis hin zum Kreuzweg Christi: Dieser Band deckt Bruegels gesamtes Schaffensspektrum ab und präsentiert sowohl seine biblischen als auch seine irdischen Tableaus.

- A personal and visual retrospective of the life and work of the conductor Philippe Herreweghe and Collegium Vocale GentIt was in 1970 that Philippe Herreweghe founded Collegium Vocale Gent, dedicated among other things to works by Johann Sebastian Bach and German Baroque music. The ensemble brought new insights on the performance of Baroque music to bear on vocal music, and attained world fame within just a few short years. This year Philippe Herreweghe marks his 75th birthday with a splendid book in which he looks back at his life and his successful career as a conductor. Photographer Stephan Vanfleteren accompanied the ensemble to the Collegium Vocale Crete Senesi summer festival in Tuscany, and has produced a set of masterful images of the ensemble and its conductor. Religiosity plays a central role in his visual interpretation. With text contributions from Joep Stapel and Luc De Voogdt on the life and work of Philippe Herreweghe and the composers who have been his greatest inspiration, plus a personal contribution by Philippe Herreweghe on Bach and death. Text in English and Dutch.

The history of the VanhaerentsArtCollection began in the 1970s, when a young Walter Vanhaerents laid the foundation of his now famous collection with works by Andy Warhol. Much has happened since then, but the focus on new and provocative art, often considered radical at the time, remained. From Bruce Nauman, Yoshitomo Nara, and Bill Viola to Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Katharina Fritsch, or Tom Sachs-across different genres and media, the Brussel-based collection reflects a keen sense of the latest developments in current art practices as well as a prescient intuition for emerging artists. The publication Looking Ahead celebrates the 50th anniversary of this unique collection and provides an overview of the exhibitions of the past 15 years.
