— book launch

On Thursday 24 June, the Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Ghent (BE) will host a book launch of The clandestine in the work of Jef Cornelis, a publication by Koen Brams (director Jan van Eyck Academie) and Dirk Pültau (editor-in-chief of art magazine De Witte Raaf).
The clandestine in the work of Jef Cornelis comprises two essays about ‘hidden’ messages in the television films Daniel Buren (Wide White Space Gallery, 1971), Sonsbeek beyond lawn and order (1971) and Landscape of churches (1989). The publication calls attention to an as yet unknown aspect of Cornelis’ oeuvre and contains documentation and records that have rarely or never been published.
The clandestine in the work of Jef Cornelis has been designed by former Design researcher Raoul Wassenaar and is accompanied by a DVD that holds three original films with English subtitles.
