Title: Koen Theys Home-Made Victories
Description: MER. Paper Kunsthalle, 2013 Hardcover, 256 pages, ENG, 290 x 235 mm, illustrations in colour, text in ENG. ISBN 9789490693961. ¶ S.M.A.K. presents the first major retrospective of the Belgian video artist Koen Theys (°1963, Brussels). Theys was one of the founding fathers of the Belgian video art scene since the early eighties and stood at the cradle of the discourse around video art in Belgium and by extension throughout Europe. In his work Theys combines a thorough substantive and formal research on video art as a medium, with a very expressive - referring to a baroque aesthetic - imagery, often combined with references to the European and Belgian cultural and political history. The work of Theys was collected early by MOMA (New York) and Centre Pompidou (Paris). The book will survey his monumental video and photography-based works from the early 80s until now. Met HOME-MADE VICTORIES brengt S.M.A.K. de eerste grote overzichtstentoonstelling van Koen Theys (°1963, Brussel), een pionier van de Belgische videokunst. De tentoonstelling is opgevat als een doorsnede van Theys' oeuvre van de vroege jaren '80 tot nu.
