Guillaume Bijl / Interview with Philippe Van Cauteren. „I don’t think an artist creates. An artist testifies. I engage in therapeutic activities in a highly realistic form in order to settle accounts with my times visually. You could also say that I have an iron strongbox in which all social forms are stored: drivers’ education, shoe store, atomic bomb shelter, waiting room, shooting range, professional reorientation center. For the most part I’ve let that be seen, I’ve settled the account, and once that’s done the box can be closed. That’s a kind of therapy.“ (Guillaume Bijl in an interview). The show at EXPO S.M.A.K. Gent / Belgium runs from April 05 until July 06, 2008. Our correspondent Thom de Bock spoke with Philippe Van Cauteren, the Director of S.M.A.K. Gent.
The artists Gert and Uwe Tobias (German, born Romania, 1973) are twin brothers. Their collaborative work centers on large-scale woodcuts, but also includes typewriter drawings and watercolors, handmade ceramic sculptures, and wooden constructions. They became internationally known with their exhibition at the Museum of Moderna Art MoMA in New York in 2007/2008.
