A full-scale examination of every aspect of life in Belgium, Belgium Stripped Bare is an aesthetico-diagnostic litany of often vitriolic observations whose victory is found in the act of analysis itself, in the intoxication of diagnosis.

This book inaugurates a new phase in kitsch studies. Kitsch, an aesthetic slur of the 19th and the 20th century, is increasingly considered a positive term and at the heart of today’s society. Eleven distinguished authors from philosophy, cultural studies and the arts discuss a wide range of topics including beauty, fashion, kitsch in the context of mourning, bio-art, visual arts, architecture and political kitsch. In addition, the editors provide a concise theoretical introduction to the volume and the subject. The role of kitsch in contemporary culture and society is innovatively explored and the volume aims not to condemn but to accept and understand why kitsch has become acceptable today.

Kari Hukkila’s One Thousand & One is a philosophical, essayistic novel about catastrophes, both natural and man-made, about humans’ ability to respond to catastrophes by thinking or, at the very least, simply managing to survive. Hukkila’s novel is a cornucopia of micro-histories, digressions, and a broad gallery of characters ranging from the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein to an Ethiopian refugee in Rome. One Thousand & One begins when a large birch tree falls on a cabin near the Russian border in eastern Finland, leaving the narrator unable to concentrate on a writing project he has been at work on. He decides then to take up an invitation to Rome, where his lifelong friend has lived since abandoning a life in philosophy. In Hukkila’s novel, Scheherazade’s survival by continuing to tell stories is reimagined as survival by continuing to think, a continued thought activity, often taken to extremes, the preservation of humanity in an inhumane world. In David Hackston’s eloquent translation, Hukkila’s musical, meandering, thought-provoking prose is full of savage, ironic, and luminous humor, remaining uncompromisingly alive until the final sentence. One Thousand & One is the first in a projected series of five novels. Upon its release in Finland in 2016 it was said to bear “all the hallmarks of a classic.”

As the 19th century comes to a close, Friedrich Nietzsche and Vincent van Gogh unknowingly traverse proximate geographical terrain, nearly circling one another like close but distant stars as the philosopher wanders between Nizza, Sils Maria, and Torino, and the painter wanders between Paris, Arles, and Saint-Rémy. In the midst of their philosophical and artistic pursuits, simultaneously, the Eiffel Tower, symbol of artistic progress and industrialization, begins to rise in Paris amidst clamors of protest and praise. Through intertwining letters written to (& sometimes by) friends, family, and others, the philosopher and painter are brought into ever-greater proximity as we witness their daily personal and artistic struggles. Woven between and interrupting this panoply of voices are a series of intervals, short illuminating blasts, like a camera’s exploding flash powder, of artistic, scientific, political, and other events spanning 1888 to 1890, drawing Nietzsche and Van Gogh in and out of the wider expanses of history. As construction of the Eiffel Tower comes to completion in Paris and Elisabeth Förster, the sister of the philosopher of the will to power, tries to found a utopic race colony in South America, the lives of Nietzsche and Van Gogh come to their terrible denouements. Her brother now a full-fledged zombie, the former queen of Nueva Germania seizes the reins of his living corpse and rides him into the future. With no deus ex machina in sight, and none possible, WWI and the terrors and the beauties of the 20th century crack the horizon.

Welcome to the tale of Second Acts. Book One begins the story of young Madison Newman who has a remarkable gift. It’s a secret that she keeps even from her parents. Madison has been blessed with the gift of healing, and as she grows up, she comes to understand that God’s desire for her is to leave home and preach about Jesus Christ. Madison resists, not knowing how to explain to her parents what she believes God has asked her to do. One night, her secret is spectacularly revealed and the world takes sides, regarding her with suspicion and fear. In Book Two, Madison begins her ministry at a campground where she preaches her first sermon. It is a powerful message, and the Holy Spirit is present to touch people’s hearts and lead them to salvation. As Madison continues her spiritual journey, she grows more confident, and increasingly bold. Some accuse her of fomenting violence by condemning sin, news programs portray her as a fraud, yet believers everywhere respond to her message. The end of days is approaching, and Madison is obedient to preach to the lost. In this exciting, final volume of the ‘Second Acts’ trilogy, Madison Newman is truly on her own for the first time after walking away from Stillman’s show. Weary from her months on the road, Madison is desperate to return home to her parents and friends, and to the life she left behind. But home is not to be her destination as the Holy Spirit leads her to serve God in ways she could never have anticipated. Cataclysms afflict the Earth as an increasingly turbulent world struggles with shortages, disease, and political upheaval. While nations form economic alliances, they secretly plot to usher in a truly digital currency that renders cash obsolete, and control absolute. And an unexpected reunion with old friends provides Madison an opportunity for celebration and fellowship, but leaves her eluding federal agents under cover of darkness. Despite media attacks and government persecution, Madison remains undeterred. The fight is not against flesh and blood, and Madison acknowledges the spiritual forces at work as the world rushes headlong to judgment. As the final days swiftly approach, Madison urges believers everywhere to share their faith, and enlists an unlikely ally in sharing the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

One hundred years after the founding of the École Coloniale Supérieure in Antwerp, the adjacent Middelheim Museum invites Sandrine Colard, researcher and curator, to conceive an exhibition that probes silenced histories of colonialism in a site-specific way. For Colard, the term Congoville encompasses the tangible and intangible urban traces of the colony, not on the African continent but in 21st-century Belgium: a school building, a park, imperial myths, and citizens of African descent. In the exhibition and this adjoining publication, the concept Congoville is the starting point for 15 contemporary artists to address colonial history and ponder its aftereffects as black flâneurs walking through a postcolonial city. Due to the multitude of perspectives and voices, this book is both a catalogue and a reference work comprised of artistic and academic contributions. Together, the participating artists and invited authors unfold the blueprint of Congoville, an imaginary city that still subconsciously affects us, but also encourages us to envision a decolonial utopia. Een eeuw na de oprichting van de École Coloniale Supérieure in Antwerpen nodigt het naburige Middelheimmuseum onderzoeker en curator Sandrine Colard uit om een tentoonstelling te creëren die sitespecifiek peilt naar de stille geschiedenissen van het kolonialisme. Congoville duidt op de zichtbare en onzichtbare stedelijke sporen van de kolonie, niet op het Afrikaanse continent, maar pal in het België van vandaag: een schoolgebouw, een park, imperialistische mythes en burgers van Afrikaanse origine. Doorheen de tentoonstelling en deze bijhorende publicatie is Congoville de context waarbinnen 15 hedendaagse kunstenaars, als zwarte flâneurs op pad in een postkoloniale stad, het koloniale verleden en de impact ervan adresseren. Door de veelheid aan perspectieven en stemmen is dit boek tegelijk een catalogus en een naslagwerk met zowel academische als artistieke bijdragen. Samen ontvouwen de betrokken kunstenaars en auteurs de blauwdruk van Congoville, een imaginaire stad die ons nog steeds onbewust in haar greep houdt, maar ons ook aanspoort om na te denken over een de-koloniaal utopia.
