Delvaux asserted his passion for antiquity all his life, long before he saw these ancient places, which had become mythical, with his own eyes. On exhibition 23 October through 31 January, 2010. |

| Van Gogh Museum to feature Alfred Stevens ~ Painter of Worldly Women Posted: 23 Dec 2010 07:49 PM PST 
AMSTERDAM, NL - The Van Gogh Museum is hosting the first retrospective in thirty years of Belgian artist Alfred Stevens (1823-1906) from 18 September 2009 until 24 January 2010. Stevens was one of the most well-known artists in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. He caused a furore with his paintings of elegant, intriguing and distant women. The artist captured the contemporary worldly woman convincingly and deftly, paying close attention to the gorgeous textures of the clothing and luxuriously appointed interiors. Featuring 64 paintings, the exhibition Alfred Stevens is being organised in cooperation with the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, where it is currently on display until 23 August 2009.  |
| Krannert Art Museum ' Blown Away ' Posted: 23 Dec 2010 07:48 PM PST 
Champaign, IL - Serving as the visual focus of Hollywood blockbuster films and television news stories pertaining to the current war in Iraq, explosions have become a part of popular culture. A healthy fascination that begins with a childhood fireworks display becomes an uncomfortable attraction to the more disturbing displays of car crashes and bomb detonations. As physical forms, explosions are simultaneously unnerving and beautiful.  |

| Netwerk Center for Contemporary Art opens 'Time as Activity' Exhibition Posted: 23 Dec 2010 07:42 PM PST 
AALST, BELGIUM.- While nowadays, 'documentation' has widely been accepted and understood as one of the main paradigms of conceptual art, there has only been few attention for the 'description' – especially considering how intrinsic this activity was to the work of conceptual artists from the sixties and seventies. Even if the works of that period are often presented as the testimony of an action or an idea, this doesn't exclude that they wouldn't offer just as much a descriptive content of a particular sort: they denote the presence of 'things-as-they-are', in all their layers and details.. Marie-Josée Jean, artistic director of the art center Vox in Montréal and curator of Time as Activity, concentrated on the continuity of these descriptions from the end of the sixties until today.  |
