‘The PI (π) of the Photography’

FADING brings together the work of 40 Belgian contemporary artists, all of them active on the international art scene. "Fading" examines how these artists derived their own critical expression from today's multimedia society, exploring the limits of fading in the pictorial space. FADING examines the layered structure of the contemporary painting in confrontation with the photographic image. The exhibition and the book compare the various artistic dimensions involved in the reconstruction of the image.The suggested absence, the intensified presence or imaginary status of the painting are some examples of the shown picturalism.
The book 'FADING'  is published by Snoeck-publishers: three seperate languages (NED/FRENCH/ENG, 144pgn).
