    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.

    Is the brain the most sexy part of the body?, 2007
    Jan Fabre
    Performance

    2007

    Boston, Harvard University

    In this film the scientist Edward O. Wilson and the artist Jan Fabre are put across each other. Their respective domains must reach a consilience to better understand the brain and the beauty. 

     

    'Am I a simple soul?
    Because my brain does not yet feel
    what my heart can already think?
    Is it true that the brain
    is the most sexy part of the body?
    Today's performance with
    the entomologist and biologist
    Edward O. Wilson
    was a search for the consilience
    between the sciences and art.
    (There is an arrow through my brain!)'

    (Jan Fabre, Boston, 17 November 2006)
