Productive Archiving
Artistic Strategies, Future Memories, and Fluid IdentitiesProductive Archiving discusses a variety of problems archival organizations. It mainly focuses on the following three issues with archival organizations that are usually overlooked: first, the question of inclusion in or exclusion from the archive; second, the loss of individuality and specificity in the archive, the danger of homogenization; and third, that archiving may become a form of pigeonholing, boxing specific identities into a confined space. Avoiding the archive because of these problems is not an option, because archival organization is a basic symbolic mode on the basis of which we organize our lives, the past, the present and the future. What this book suggests is that it is best to explore constructive and creative solutions for these problems. Especially artistic archives seem to be able to develop these possible solutions, because they offer speculative, unexpected ways to order, select, and narrate specific information, and bring about new connections and archival organizations.

Seven Logics of Sculpture
Encountering Objects Through the SensesSculpture as a specific medium is rarely investigated within a deeply cultural, philosophical context, nor within visual art itself. Whilst discussions about installation art, performance art, or other 3D art forms are widespread, the discourse on sculpture seems to be stuck in historical, material, or thematic frameworks. This is a loss for our understanding of art in general, and of sculpture in particular. In order to assess contemporary art practices, one should have a better understanding of the logics that are at work within sculpture as a medium, and how they differ from other art forms. This book explores ‘seven logics’ of sculpture—not as a historical overview, but with a contemporary analytical approach, drawing from literature, philosophy, psycho-analysis, architecture, and mundane daily culture—that help understand specific manifestations of sculpture and the active perception by the viewer. It relates to aspects such as the senses, the skin, the body, objecthood, narrative dynamics, the shaping of space, fragmentation, and montage. Seven Logics of Sculpture opens up new ways of looking at, understanding, and appreciating sculpture, placing the medium at the heart of art’s experience; how sculpture can be shaped, assembled, encountered, seen and embodied.

Shame! and Masculinity
Sinds de #metoo-beweging zijn vormen van mannelijk seksueel geweld en machtsmisbruik op grote schaal onder de loep genomen. De focus op ‘toxic masculinity’ heeft invloed op onze perceptie van mannelijke seksualiteit, die het zelfbeeld en het zelfrespect van mannen aanzienlijk beïnvloedt. Mannen worden door anderen beschaamd vanwege hun grensoverschrijdende en minachtende houding; en ze schamen zich intrinsiek voor hun eigen fouten of voor de virulente patronen en tradities binnen de ‘westerse’ opvatting van mannelijkheid. Shame! and Maculinity onderzoekt deze beide standpunten. Het bekijkt de representatie van verschillende aspecten rondom mannelijkheid, zoals seksualiteit, naaktheid, vaderschap, mannelijk geweld, verkrachting, fascisme en mannen en oorlog. Het boek toont verschillende kunstwerken die de finesses en tegenstrijdigheden inherent aan deze sociaal-culturele constructies en realiteiten adresseren. Shame! and Masculinity is hybride in genre; korte verhalen worden gecombineerd met wetenschappelijke essays, persoonlijke getuigenissen en provocerende en intieme kunstenaarsbijdragen. Het boek reflecteert op de vele betekenissen van mannelijkheid, vanuit uiteenlopende perspectieven. Deze ‘mannelijkheids’-kwesties, die een pregnante rol spelen in de hedendaagse samenleving, maar ook in onze persoonlijke ervaring, in de geschiedenis en in ons eigen lichaam, worden zo gedifferentieerd onderzocht om zo ruim baan te bieden aan andere, en nieuwe vormen van verbeelding.

Failed Images
Photography and its Counter-PracticesFailed Images tries to understand photography in its difference from the reality it shows. It sets as a task to analyse the different ways the photograph transforms that which exists before the camera. Photography is not only determined by technical features, but also by a conventional approach to it. This approach can be recognized in what is now called a ‘snapshot’. But the photographic medium enables also very different practices and as a result very different kinds of photographic images. To see this, one needs to look at the diversity of photographic images and practices outside the dominant approach. In this book the photographic image will be explored by focusing on photographic practices refusing the dominant approach to the medium, namely staged photography, blurred photography, under- en overexposed photography and archival photography. Failed Images probeert fotografie te begrijpen als een medium dat de realiteit transformeert. Het boek analyseert verschillende manieren waarop een foto die transformatie activeert. De mogelijkheden van de fotografie worden niet alleen bepaald door technische kenmerken, maar ook door de gangbare benaderingen van het medium, waarbij de ‘snapshot’ dominant is. Maar er zijn veel verschillende benaderingen mogelijk, en dus ook veel verschillende soorten fotografische beelden. Om dit te kunnen zien, kan men kijken naar de diversiteit aan fotografische praktijken buiten de dominante benadering van het medium. Dit boek onderzoekt de betekenis van het fotografische beeld aan de hand van praktijken die de conventionele benadering van de hand wijzen, en duikt in geënsceneerde fotografie, wazige fotografie, onder- en overbelichte fotografie en archieffotografie.
