Sanguine / Bloedrood

    NLENFR

    During the cultural city festival Antwerp Baroque 2018. Rubens Inspires, the M HKA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, juxtaposes the spirit of the baroque masters with the vision of contemporary top artists. With the exhibition Sanguine/Bloedrood (Blood Red), curator Luc Tuymans aims to overwhelm the visitor by placing key works from the baroque of, among others, Francisco de Zurbarán and Caravaggio, in dialogue with works by classical contemporary masters, such as On Kawara and Edward Kienholz, as well as new works by contemporary stars such as Zhang Enli, Takashi Murakami, Michaël Borremans, Sigmar Polke and Tobias Rheberger.

    Performance , 00:34:00

    24.10.1980
    Milwaukee, Helfaer Theatre

    During this performance the artist will undergo several metamorphoses. He steps in the outlines of a man, drawn on the stage with shaving cream. As he plays with different transformations he frequently stops to study his new image in the mirror. 

     

    'Did my performance 'After Art' today.

    Lots of students and philosophers came to watch.

    Reactions were very positive.

    It's just that the sentences

    'It sounds very interesting' and 'It looks fantastic' 

    are starting to drive me mad.'

    (Jan Fabre, Milwaukee, 24 October 1980)
