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.

    Together with his friend, the American photographer Patrick T. Sellitto, Jan Fabre orders a lot of art magazines with the message ‘Bill me later’. The mailed magazines are then used by the two friends to build a wall in front of their apartment in Mott Street.

     

    'Continued working on the 'Bill us later' project with
    Patrick T. Sellitto these last few days.
    If we keep it up several art magazines
    will go bankrupt.
    Today we put more than 700 mail order cards
    (with false names and addresses in Europe)
    in the mailbox.'

    (Jan Fabre, New York, 18 February 1982)
