A Brief History of the Future When contemporary art takes you to 2050! The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and the Louvre present a new and innovative project inspired by Jacques Attali’s book “A Brief History of the Future”. It takes the form of two independent but complementary exhibitions around the same questioning of the future. The Louvre with a look at the past and Brussels with a prospective approach, illustrate the great dynamics that span and animate humanity, from its origins to 2050. According to Jacques Attali, human civilization can be told as the succession of three major political orders: a religious order, a military and a mercantile order, the latter still prevailing today. The mercantile order speaks the language of Money and is organized around a single centre, a core which gathers a creative society characterized by an appetite for newness and a passion for discovery. Until today the market order has had 9 successive stages. You can label them each either by the name of their core city (Bruges, Venice, Antwerp, Genoa, Amsterdam, London, Boston, New York, Los Angeles) or by the technology extending their merchandise field (stern rudder, caravel, printing, accounting, boat flute, steam engine, internal combustion engine, electric motor, microprocessor). Moreover, according to Attali, the future will take place in five waves: the relative decline of the American Empire, the emergence of a polycentric world, a “super empire”, a “super conflict” and finally a “super democracy”. The exhibition in Brussels begins with the ninth core – the city of Los Angeles, near the Pacific Ocean, and microprocessors. Eight themes will be developed: Los Angeles, polycentrism, 6 11.09 2015 > 24.01 2016 Bodys Isek Kingelez, Kimbembele Ihunga, (detail), 1994. 130 × 330 × 210 cm © CAAC – The Pigozzi Collection, Geneva.

Heavenly City n°8, 2008 Afdrukken 164 × 150 cm. © Yang Yongliang / courtesy Galerie Paris–Beijing threatened planet, overconsumption, super empire (poverty- wealth and inequality, market domination), super conflict (war, terrorism, religion, peace and knowledge), selling time and transforming one’s own body and utopias (the power of good and altruism). They will be discussed and illustrated by works of internationally renowned contemporary artists: Sugimoto, Boetti, Francis Alÿs Louise Bourgeois, On Kawara, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Hans Op de Beeck, Lachapelle... In total nearly 70 artists will deliver to you their visions of the present and of the future of the planet. Through these works that illustrate the major issues of society, the visitors are invited to reflect on the future they want to shape. Many activities are organized around the exhibition: Tuesday conferences, meetings with artists at the Museum Brasserie on Saturdays at 3:30 pm… For more information, visit our website: www.becomeafriend.be and the museum’s website: www.fine-arts-museum.be The Friends from the RMFAB have free access to the exposition “A Brief History of the Future” at the Louvre between the 24th of September and the 8th of October.

From 28 February to 10 March 2015, Andres Serrano drove the streets of Brussels and produced a series of photographs of homeless people. This is similar to what he did in New York in 2014 and we’ve asked him to describe his work in Brussels: “I always ask people if they agree to be photographed, I pay them a little, it’s a working relationship, the same as if I was working with other models. Even if they sleep, they know that I photograph them.” “In Brussels, the situation is more extreme than in New York, some people live in cardboard boxes in the subway, there are people from very different backgrounds, some almost adopt an actor’s behavior”. Through his photographs, Andres Serrano shows us the lives of those we do not see or do not want to see. On several occasions, we had the chance to meet this artist who has a very original view of the world. Didn’t he tell us, for example, that his best audience is children and people “who understand nothing about art” – they don’t assume and they look at a work without prejudice. The photographs “Denizens of Brussels” will be presented in some metro stations and streets of Brussels, during the retrospective Andres Serrano taking place in March 2016. 10 Denizens: noun: a person, animal,or plant that lives in or often is found in a particular place or region.

We asked her about the Museum of tomorrow. If the museums missions remain the same, to preserve, disseminate and educate, the tools are changing. New tech- nologies facilitate interaction between the artworks and the public. With smartphones and geolocation, it will become easier to find your way around the museum. Image recognition, for example, could provide a more comprehensive explanation on a painting and one could imagine that a guidance system (iBeacon...) could warn the visitors when they approach a major work in the museum. Visitors will deepen their knowledge of one or several works by immersing themselves in very detailed projections of these; they will be placed at the heart of an artwork and will be able to scrutinize each element of its composition. New technologies support scientific research and enable us to engage directly with the audience on an interactive basis. Moreover, they are being put at the service of art. Indeed, conditions for the storage and exhibition of artworks have become so demanding that it is no longer possible to transport paintings which are too fragile, and that is where the new technologies will enable a broader audience to approach the works in a different way. By autumn 2015, the Bruegel Box (Boël room) and the exhibition “2050 A Brief History of the Future” will give us a preview of what the Museum of tomorrow could be. aphne, 1681. pollo Chasing D Carlo Maratta, A Oil on canvas 22,1 x 224 cm. © RMFAB.

  • Fernand Khnopff: Writings on Art and Artists
    Fernand Khnopff: Writings on Art and Artists Fernand Khnopff, c. 1900 Edited and translated by Jeffery Howe Boston College 2016 1 About this project This compilation includes all the published writings on art by Fernand Khnopff (1858- 1921), the noted Belgian Symbolist painter, that I have been able to locate. He wrote extensively for Belgian and English publications, and was also translated into German for journals in Berlin and Vienna. An invaluable guide to Khnopff’s writings is the extensive bibliography in the catalog raisonné of his works published in 1987: Robert Delevoy, Catherine De Croës, and Giselle Ollinger-Zinque. Fernand Khnopff. Catalogue de l’œuvre (Brussels: Lebeer Hossmann, 1987). A significant number of articles has been added to their list. Some of Khnopff’s public lectures were extensively reported in the press, and these summaries have been included also. Fernand Khnopff will be one of the featured artists in the exhibition at the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College, “The Spirit of the Land: Tradition and Innovation in Belgian Landscape Painting” in the fall of 2017. Khnopff’s writings are a valuable source of information about many of the artists included in this exhibition. An introductory essay by the editor, “The Artist as Critic: Fernand Khnopff on Art and Artists,” introduces the major sections of this compilation. Articles originally in French and German have been translated by the editor; the translations are marked with a different font color, and follow the transcribed articles. The editor cheerfully admits to not being a professional translator, so the reader is encouraged to consult the original texts.

  • Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years
    BRANDING BRUSSELS MUSICALLY: COSMOPOLITANISM AND NATIONALISM IN THE INTERWAR YEARS Catherine A. Hughes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds Valérie Dufour John L. Nádas Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Catherine A. Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Hughes: Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) In Belgium, constructions of musical life in Brussels between the World Wars varied widely: some viewed the city as a major musical center, and others framed the city as a peripheral space to its larger neighbors. Both views, however, based the city’s identity on an intense interest in new foreign music, with works by Belgian composers taking a secondary importance. This modern and cosmopolitan concept of cultural achievement offered an alternative to the more traditional model of national identity as being built solely on creations by native artists sharing local traditions. Such a model eluded a country with competing ethnic groups: the Francophone Walloons in the south and the Flemish in the north. Openness to a wide variety of music became a hallmark of the capital’s cultural identity. As a result, the forces of Belgian cultural identity, patriotism, internationalism, interest in foreign culture, and conflicting views of modern music complicated the construction of Belgian cultural identity through music. By focusing on the work of the four central people in the network of organizers, patrons, and performers that sustained the art music culture in the Belgian capital, this dissertation challenges assumptions about construction of musical culture.

  • The Aesthetics of Self-Skeletonization in James Ensor
    CLAIRE MORAN The Aesthetics of Self-Skeletonization in James Ensor Abstract: Through his self-portraits, the nineteenth-century Belgian painter James Ensor questioned both the boundaries of the self and the limits of modern art. Ensor’s fusing of the skeleton with the self- portrait in a series of drawings and paintings from the 1880s and 1890s results in a potent image of self-disintegration and self- dissolution; one which in turn theorizes the death of mimesis and the birth of a new way of seeing and representing reality. The trajectory from the homogeneous unified self to disintegrating skeleton goes hand in hand with the move from a representational to a grotesque art in Ensor. Drawing upon the Derridean model of self-inscription and Lacan’s definition of the scopic, this essay discusses specific stages in the painter’s transition from Realism to Expressionism. Skeletons abound in Symbolist art and literature, marking an obses- sion with death and decay, as well as masking a desire for l’au-delà redolent of a Post-Romantic generation. While the skeleton is part of a long-established allegorical tradition in Western painting, expressing man’s mortality and physical frailty, it was the Symbolists who made it their own. Most memorably rendered in Wiertz’s La belle Rosine (1847, Ixelles, Musée Ixelles), the motif of the skeleton inspired writ- ers and painters alike, such that Edgar Allan Poe, Arnold Böcklin, Villiers de L’Isle Adam and Odilon Redon all fell prey to its charms. Aubrey Beardsley played the piano accompanied by a skeleton, while Ernest Christophe’s Danse Macabre depicting a dancing skeleton in evening dress, inspired Baudelaire’s poem of the same name.

  • Dalí & Magritte: Visitors Guide
    Magritte Dalí #expodalimagritte Visitor's @FineArtsBelgium fine-arts-museum.be Guide To mark the tenth anniversary of the Magritte Museum, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium have compiled more than one hundred works, which will take visitors on a journey through the universe of Salvador Dalí and initiate a dialogue with the oeuvre of René Magritte. Both artists firmly established their surrealism through research based on the exploration of mimetic representation. From the mid-twenties, Dalí “logically” attaches himself to the budding surrealist movement. Between fantasy and the romantic fantastic, his work explores the meanders of an interior thought open to the revelations of the unconscious. Having settled in Paris on the advice of Joan Miró, Dalí develops an oeuvre based on the questioning of everything that figuration passes off as real. Inside mental landscapes, figures and objects unravel and recompose through a process that borrows from hallucinations. It is within this context that the artist starts formulating his own personal style in 1929. During that summer, Magritte goes to Cadaqués to meet Dalí in the company of his wife Georgette, Paul Éluard and Gala. Beyond biographical anecdotes— Gala will leave Éluard for Dalí—the meeting proves decisive. When he is confronted with Dalí’s works, Magritte realises the extent to which representation lies at the heart of his research. Not to project the real in a hallucinatory derive, but rather, to better deconstruct a reality that is given as a fact of language. After this encounter, Magritte will progressively rid himself of the psychoanalytical charge that probably stemmed from his mother’s suicide, to focus on representation.

For Belgium, this means liberation from just over four years of German occupation. The idea of creating​​ a new world haunted young Germans—just as much as it did the young Belgian generation—and their eyes now turned toward Germany and its young capital, Berlin. The current exhibition, which is part of commemorations for the Great War, focuses more specifically on the period when the metropolis of Berlin was seen as a symbol for renewal, and on a post- war era where “everything seemed possible”.
