Causeries
Alexandre Singh

From the French causer, meaning to chat or to talk informally, Causeries details a series of encounters between artist Alexandre Singh and various writers, scientists, and philosophers on such wide-ranging topics as Hindu cosmogony, South Park, and scatology. This publication contains an edited selection of 29 of the public conversations conducted by Singh during his time at Witte de With in preparation for his ambitious theater play The Humans.

Decorations
Kasper Bosmans

Decorations started with Kasper Bosmans’ close reading of 20+ Years Witte de With, an anthology published by the institution following its 20th anniversary, listing all exhibitions and other projects that took place at Witte de With between 1990 and 2011. During his research into the institution’s history, Bosmans made numerous annotations and footnotes, scribbles and sketches in the margins across the pages. Adding his own remarks and critical notes, the artist opens up this well-edited historiography to new interpretations. 

Editors: Kasper Bosmans, Samuel Saelemakers
