Wonders are Collectible

Thijs Demeulemeester

Taxidermy elevated to fine art

Weird and wonderful overview of the fine art of taxidermy, a world between reanimation and

reincarnation.

Responds to the growing interest in these cabinets of curiosity.

At present, a true revival is taking place of the art of taxidermy: butterflies and beetles on pins,

stuffed baby chicks and foxes. This phenomenon is everywhere nowadays: from fancy apartments

to luxurious boutiques. Museums are reintroducing their taxidermy collections while contemporary

artists are blowing new life into this art form – think of Damien Hirst, Koen Vanmechelen or Wim

Delvoye.

Aren't we all speechless at the ultimate beauty that nature has to offer? Don't we all want to capture

it and indulge in these images forever? To capture animals in all their glory in such a way that it

shows every flamboyant, scintillating detail is a delicate art. This book gives an overview of the

history, the myths and the symbolism, the process, the most wonderful collections and interiors,

decorated as true Wunderkammers, and the craftsmen and artists from past and present who

elevated taxidermy to fine art.

Jeroen Lemaitre (1987) is a young man from Leuven whose talent was discerned in 2014 by the

Musée des Arts Décoratifs, a museum of the decorative arts and design in Paris. Since then, he has

worked under the label of 'Animaux Speciaux' progressing further with his creations using animals,

insects and butterflies from the tropics.

Mixed Grill

Lionel Jadot

photography Serge Anton

"Travelling the globe to work on various projects,

from large European businesses to European

royalty, Jadot brings a custom approach to each

project, oftentimes designing the furniture that's

for each one." - www.design-milk.com

"My job is very varied and I like creating a new

universe each day. My style is not defined and it is

the diversity of my work that attracts people.

Dreamers are my best audience." - Lionel Jadot

"I never make a decor that is fashionable but I

always try to find out what is hidden behind the

walls of a house and I try to create something

authentic, where all elements come together and

the end result is correct and honest." - Lionel Jadot

Lionel Jadot is the archetype of an eclectic person.

Born from a family of furniture makers, the

workshop was his playground and at a very young

age he became interested in the art of making furniture. He expanded his focus later on and can

now call himself an architect, interior designer, designer, artist and movie director. In his view

working equals playing, recycling, assembling, always with a nod towards other cultures, the past,

and local context.

Thijs Demeulemeester is a Belgian lifestyle journalist, specialising in interiors, contemporary art and

architecture.

Serge Anton graduated at the photography school of Brussels. Since 1988 he has been working for

various interior magazines such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration, Marie Claire Maison, etc.

Monteverdi

A village in Tuscany

Ilaria Miani , Cécile Vaiarelli and Bernard Touillon

The extraordinary work of restoration and

transformation of a small village in Tuscany

Monteverdi is a village in val d'Orcia, one of the

most beautiful countrysides of Tuscany and

declared a World Cultural Heritage site by

UNESCO.

This book illustrates the extraordinary work of

restoration and transformation which has been

carried out. This charming medieval village has

been saved from its state of abandonment and

neglect through the care and sensibility of Ilaria

Miani, architect and interior designer, who has

returned it to its original lovely appearance and

supported by Michael L. Cioffi, an American lawyer

who fell in love with Bella Italia. This love

developed while studying the classics at the

University of Notre Dame - from Virgil to Cicero

and up through the great literature, philosophy,

science and art of the Renaissance. Ten years ago

he stepped into the village of Castiglioncello del

Trinoro in Tuscany. Although the village was physically dilapidated, he found in her old bones,

perched above the rolling fields of Tuscany, the story of a rich history, culture and land. Seduced by

this story and propelled by love, he began to restore and preserve the village, giving birth to the

vision of Monteverdi, now fully realised, as seen in the pages of this book.

Ilaria Miani is a designer with a passion for restoring abandoned architectural sites such as

farmhouses, palaces and villages. Her inspirations are old stones, contemporary art, art history and

renaissance. She always respects the original style of a place while restrucuting it and renovating it.

She stays true to the history and soul of a building yet tries to combine this with new forms and

volumes, trying to create a new world that is intuitive and sophisticated. Bernard Touillon is a

photographer always looking for the perfect light. He works for different international magazines.

Cecile Vaiarelli is a fashion journalist, passionate about Italy, design, art history and travelling.

Haute-à-Porter

Filep Motwary

The influence of Haute Couture on Prêt-à-

Porter

With contributions by Vivienne Westwood,

Ann Demeulemeester, Dior, Christian Lacroix,

Yohji Yamamoto, Stephen Jones, Viktor and

Rolf… and many other designers, journalists

and fashion experts.

Haute Couture creations and how they

influence the way we shape our bodies.

Haute couture often dazes us by its precision,

craftsmanship and the extravaganza inherent

to it. Clothing items are made out of

proportion, unique materials are used and

everything is hand-finished. But also the Prêt-

à-porter collections of today comply with the

classic principles of Haute Couture. The items

shown on the catwalk should theoretically be

wearable, but often in reality this is entirely

not the case. Haute-à-Porter examines the

relationship between Haute Couture and

prêt-à-porter collections and shows the evolution in their relationship during the past 25 years.

Filep Motwary started his career in the Greek editions of Vogue and L’Officiel. Later he worked for

fashion houses such as John Galliano, Christian Dior and Chloe. Nowadays he is the Fashion Features

Editor of Dapper Dan Magazine, he photographs for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, New Yorker’s THE CUT,

to name a few, has his own fashion blog, Un nouveau Idéal and is still active as a designer.

Belgian Abbey Beers

Jef Van den Steen

This book is a complete overview of all thirty

Belgian abbey beers. Where is the rich

patrimony of Belgian abbey beers rooted?

What are the remarkable stories about this

authentic, labour-intensive product. In which

way are Trappist beers different from the

others? In Belgian Abbey Beers, Jef Van den

Steen unravels the different stages in the

production process of the beers and talks

very passionately about the origin and

development of the various breweries within

the walls or under the license of the abbey.

Each brewery is presented with practical

information, different types of beer, and the

author always includes tips for tourists.

Photographer Andrew Verschetze

magnificently captures the beers from the

barrel to the glass. This is the third part in a

prestigious series on Belgian beers, after

Geuze & Kriek and Spéciale Belge.

As an expert on beers and a brewer, Jef Van den Steen is an authority in his field. He has published

a number of books and writes for Zytholoog and Bier Passie Magazine, amongst others. He regularly

gives lectures on beer. Andrew Verschetze is a culinary photographer. He has provided the images

for many cookery books and is the owner of a graphic design company.

Pieter Verheyde

photography Andrew Verschetze

medium-sized champagne houses and about twenty smaller quality brands.

• A sparkling book by an internationally renowned top sommelier from Belgium

• Includes numerous top-quality pictures by Andrew Verschetze

This book offers an overview of all famous and quality champagne houses, by Pieter Verheyde.

Firstly, the book introduces you to the top brands, such as Veuve Clicquot, Piper-Heidsieck,

Moët & Chandon and Laurent Perrier. Secondly, the best champagnes by middle-sized brands are

presented, as these names will most often ring a bell with the general public. Lastly, Pieter focuses

on approximately twenty smaller champagne houses that equally manage to produce the finest of

champagnes, such as for instance a Diebolt-Vallois. With each of these houses, a typical aspect of

the production process is highlighted. The book concludes with a number of champagne routes,

information for tourists about the region and several interesting facts and figures. The marvellous

pictures have been taken by Andrew Verschetze.

Pieter Verheyde is one of the world’s finest sommeliers, and has won several awards so far. He

Chew On Eating

Katja Gruyters

In Chew On Eating Katja Gruyters describes the

facts of food culture and unveils some of the

strange things we are inclined to believe when it

concerns eating habits. Against the backdrop the

book will present an overview of food desing

projects that Katja Gruyters has been working on.

With a lot of pictures this design book will feed

your mind, and inspire new ways of thinking about

ingredients, dishes, meals, and whatever we can

use to nourish ourselves, both adequately and

enjoyably.

Katja Gruyters is Food & Beverage Desinger, the

first food designer in the Netherlands. Katja

graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in

1998. During her time there, she had already started to specialize in designing food and drink. As

part of her final project she looked at different ways of designing meat substitutes. Her high-protein

dough balls and filled seaweed rolls actually led to her first job in the food sector. She soon decided

to call herself a food designer, explaining at the same time that she worked on concepts for both

food and drink. She develops her own products and ideas.

In recent years she has regularly exhibited her work in the Netherlands and other countries. Katja

also gives workshops and works as a visiting lecturer.

Cuba La Lucha

Unique pictures of a country in transition

Carl De Keyzer

Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer

went to Cuba and came back with

surprising, often tragicomical pictures of a

split country. Fidel Castro on a wall poster,

while a man on the same picture wears a

T-shirt that spells FBI. Four Cubans

withdrawing money in a bank, while Che

Guevara watches them from a portrait

above their heads. In his new photobook,

with an introduction by curator and

publicist Gabriela Salgado, Carl De Keyzer

captures Cuba’s duality in pictures. With a

master’s eye, he paints the picture of a

country that is still rooted in communism,

while reaching for Western capitalism.

Carl De Keyzer has been a member of the

world renowned photo agency Magnum

since 1994. His pictures have been

internationally published and exposed.

The permanent threat of decay in modern

society and the impact of power on

everyday life are frequent themes in his

work. Samples of his work can be found on

www.carldekeyzer.com.

Gabriela Salgado is an Argentine who lives and works in London. She curated a number of

expositions and has worked for Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery. Amongst other things, she has

published Contemporary Art in Latin America and Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America.

Mexico city is one of the most glamorous but also

one of the most dramatic cities in the world. The

omen for the future of other world cities.

This is the message in Mexico. The book bundles

the best Mexico has to offer when it comes to

contemporary photography, with a focus on the

capital Mexico City.

Breathtaking panoramic landscapes from Pablo

Lopez Luz, humoristic images from Alejandro

Cartagena, street photography by Mark Alor

Powel, portraits of rich people by Yvonne

Venegas,…

The most important artist in the book is Graciele

Iturbide, one of the most influential Latin

American photographers of the past 4 decades.

Belgium Resized

Jasper Léonard

‘Honey, I shrunk the city’

Belgium as never seen before,

viewed through the eyes of this

urban photographer from

Antwerp

An original photo book for

Belgians and tourists alike

Amazing, realistic or staged,

actual size or miniature? The

pictures seem to emerge from

the classic film Honey, I shrunk

the kids. With his home-built

lenses, Jasper Léonard wanders

about everywhere in order to

capture life in the big city. He

works from rooftops, lifting platforms, occasionally even from a helicopter. In contrast to the well-

known Slinkachu, he shows the world as it is, yet in miniature form.

Jasper Léonard (1985) graduated in 2010 from Sint-Lucas with an MA in visual arts, but since his

childhood, he was always fascinated by photography. Since 2012, he has been Antwerp’s urban

photographer.

Be NY

Patrick van Rosendaal

Winner of the Red Dot Design awards

Be NY is an original city guide about the most

intriguing city in the world, but also a manual that

quickly and simply learns you how to be a New

Yorker.

Discover together with Patrick van Rosendaal the

life, preferences and habits of 24 colourful New

Yorkers. They happily share their experiences and

give you a unique look, from a different perspective,

on life in the city among cities.

What are their favourite places to enjoy art, culture

or tasty food? Where do they go for some peace and

quiet or to have a good time? Which bars do they

frequent, and where should you go for the best cup

of coffee? Which museums are trendy, and which

galleries are up and coming? Where to find the best

deals, and which shops are absolute musts?

Patrick’s stories, knowledge and tips are the ultimate

preparation for your adventure in The Big Apple.

Patrick van Rosendaal followed his heart to the

United States seven years ago, and quickly lost his

heart to New York. His admiration for the city grew

into a real passion. The urge to share his passion

drove him into a life as a city guide. As an official member of GANYC, the prestigious professional

association for city guides, he has already worn out three Vespa’s and an uncountable amount of

soles during the thousands of kilometres he has covered while exploring the city. His own city guide

company Be New York is becoming increasingly successful. Patrick and his team have given more

than ten thousand visitors an unforgettable experience.

Duval Branding has won the prestigious RedDot Design Award for the book BE NY – from tourist to

New Yorker by Patrick van Rosendaal. With his company BE NY, he focuses on guiding tourists and

groups in New York. After all his journeys through the city, Patrick wrote this book on the basis of

various portraits of New Yorkers who crossed his path. Interesting, creative, outspoken, or

distinctive personalities who uncover the ins & outs of life in New York.

Strong Belgian design.

The RedDot Design Award 2015 awarded the high-quality design of the book in the category

“Publishing & Printed Media”.

“With over 7.451 submissions from 53 countries, the RedDot can look back on a successful edition

in 2015. As a result, we feel very honoured to be among the winners of 2015”, says Marc Wellens,

Managing Director Duval Branding.

“Winning this award proves that Belgian designing talent, too, is being appreciated internationally.

Furthermore, this recognition supports our ambition to grow further on an international level. As a

Belgian branding agency, we do not often get the opportunity to prove ourselves to the world. But

if we do get the chance, it’s most often a success.”

Wim Vandekeybus

30 years at the top of the

dance world

This book offers an exclusive

glimpse into the head and

soul of Wim Vandekeybus,

choreographer, dancer,

filmmaker, photographer, a

homo universalis of art. In

2016, his company Ultima

Vez celebrates its 30th

birthday, but never before

has his oeuvre been

recorded in a book. Until

now.

The book is a visual trip

alongside the most powerful

images from his repertoire, a

quest for the ideas and

themes that inspire him. It

also contains unpublished

texts, notes and scripts from

his shows and films. A

number of compagnons de

route, such as David Byrne, Mauro Pawlowski, Peter Verhelst, … offer a personal textual

contribution.

Choreographer, filmmaker and photographer Wim Vandekeybus and his company Ultima Vez are at

the top of the dance industry in Belgium and even the world. After a cooperation with Jan Fabre, he

founded his very own company Ultima Vez in 1986. His first performance What the Body Does Not

Remember (1987) was an international success and was awarded a Bessie Award (New York Dance

and Performance Award), a prize awarded for pioneering work.

'Vandekeybus brought into focus a whole new genre of modern dance... Combat rolls, breakneck

sprints and savagely wrestled duets became the defining vocabulary of a new generation.' (The

Guardian)

Divine Decadence

Abattoir Fermé

-Investigates the manifestation of decadence

through art

-Includes works by Félicien Rops, Erwin Olaf, Jan

Fabre, Man Ray, Marc Lagrange, Kees van Dongen,

and never-before published paintings by Roberto

Ferri

Theatre collective Abattoir Fermé and the Kasteel

van Gaasbeek join forces in their search for the

essence of decadence. By means of the works of

artists such as Félicien Rops, Erwin Olaf, Jan Fabre,

Man Ray, Marc Langrange, and many more, they

investigate the manifestation of decadence.

Disappointed by the world's imperfection, artists

and intellectuals at the end of the 19th century

expressed their disapproval for the ruling values.

Art, beauty, and luxury seemed to them to be the

only way out of the bourgeois reality.

In contemporary art also this fine line between

sensual refinement and perversity, aesthetics and

the morbid, taboo and norm is a recurring theme.

This book defies you to rhyme those extremes,

face the duality and capture the symptoms of decadence within our society.

Stef Lemous is a Flemish actor and director and artistic leader of theatre collective Abattoir Fermé.

In all his projects he tries to unravel the 'world behind the world', fantasies and rituals.

Golden Times

Wealth and Status in the Middle Ages

Peter Stabel, Véronique Lambert, Tim Soens and others

Reveals impressive new insights into the middle

ages

Today's world is the product of the late middle

ages. In what is now called 'Flanders', a new kind

of man emerged. A practical man, an

entrepreneur, a critical man who no longer

believed what church and nobility tried to tell him.

He discovers the world, creates, produces and

innovates. In this book young researchers take us

back to the middle ages.

With attention for top works of art and unknown

gems. This art book has a fresh academic point of

view: the economic history of the middle ages

from the viewpoint of different social groups, with

surprising results on clichéd thoughts such as the

passive countryside, the dark middle ages and the

role of women in society.

Peter Stabel teaches social and economic history of the middle ages at Antwerp University. He was

a guest lecturer at University of Pennsylvania and Sorbonne in Paris. Véronique Lambert is a doctor

in history. Her publications are about national identity, history and diplomacy in the middle ages.

Since 2015 she has focused on historical research, publications, cultural projects and

communication.

Politics as Painting

Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630) and the Archducal Enterprise of Empire

Katharina Van Cauteren

-First overview of the works of this 'forgotten'

painter - Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630)

Apart from a handful of art historians no one has

ever heard of the Brussels painter Hendrick De

Clerck (1560-1630). Nevertheless, De Clerck was a

contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens, the latter

having gone down in history as an artistic

trailblazer and painting powerhouse, while

Hendrick De Clerck has quietly faded into oblivion.

Yet the subtly coded, vibrantly

coloured pictures that De Clerck painted for

Archduke Albert of Austria and his wife Isabella

are political propaganda of the highest order. In

creating a mode of archducal representation that

could help to gain an empire, the sky is quite

literally the limit.

De Clerck represents Isabella as wise Minerva,

chaste Diana, the Virgin Mary. And that's nothing compared to her husband, for in De Clerck's

paintings Albert is transformed into the sun god Apollo or even into Jesus Christ himself. Hendrick

De Clerck's mastery of ingenious pictorial strategy made him a leading player in one of the most

ambitious projects history has ever seen. For those who know how to read them, his paintings tell a

story of power, political promises, and grandiose ambition. Most of all, they are supreme examples

of image-building; for as the Archdukes were well aware, even as a monarch you're only as

important as you make yourself.

Katharina Van Cauteren (1981) is an art historian specialising in the early modern period. With

irresistible enthusiasm leavened with insightful perspective she brings the paintings and their

patrons back to fascinating life. The result is sometimes funny, sometimes tragic and often

surprisingly topical, for in the enterprise of empire, some things just don't change.

contemporary setting, forging new rules for a

unique business strategy. To quantify a company

as a ‘microfactory’ means elevating their status,

recognizing that person’s ability to shift the rules

defining operational norms within creative

businesses. They are, by definition, the

embodiment of a ground-breaking creative

renaissance, ushered in by the integration of both

tradition and technology into our daily lives,

whether business or personal. They operate

extremely agile companies with small ecological

footprints that communicate directly with their customers. They do not rely on large production

facilities; rather on their own, on-demand micro-factories. Living in both the physical city and within

a new, expansive, digitally networked community, they define a new breed of commerce. Unbound

by location, we see the emergence of a new global landscape benefitting from the intimacy of local

actors. This is not your fathers’ globalism, but one shaped by the transparency of social networks.

‘When perfection is contrasted in the same moment by imperfection. When the precision of an

industrially produced object is contaminated by the imprecision of the human hand.’ – Masa & Jon

On the Trail of Ebola

My Life as a Virus Hunter

Guido van der Groen

-A fascinating story about the history of Ebola

written by one of those who discovered it

-Popular science that reads like a thriller

In the mid-seventies, Guido van der Groen and his

colleagues at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in

Antwerp discovered the deadly virus Ebola. Forty

years later, the virus breaks out again in West-

Africa. Why is this virus seemingly unstoppable?

Could the epidemic have been prevented? Do we

have to fear an unprecedented pandemic?

To answer these questions, Guido van

der Groen, an internationally renowned virus

fighter, goes back to where it all began. As a virus

fighter, he dedicated the rest of his career to the

study of Ebola, HIV and other viruses. Van der

Groen puts this unprecedented manifestation of

Ebola into an international health management

perspective, lifting his book on the geopolitical

shelf as well. The result is an exciting read, which

makes critical observations about the present

pandemic psychoses and which urges authorities

to invest in durable solutions.

Prof. Dr. Guido van der Groen is emeritus professor in Virology and former head of the department

of Microbiology at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Antwerp.
