En publiant à la une du Figaro, le 20 février 1909, le Manifeste du futurisme, le poète italien Marinetti lance le premier mouvement d'avant-garde artistique du XXe siècle.

Summary:
En publiant à la une du Figaro, le 20 février 1909, le Manifeste du futurisme, le poète italien Marinetti lance le premier mouvement d'avant-garde artistique du XXe siècle. Son propos est radical : assez des chefs-d'œuvre du passé et des musées, vive la modernité des villes et la beauté de la vitesse! Des peintres s'y rallient bientôt – Boccioni, Carrà, Russolo, Balla et Severini –, prônant à leur tour le «dynamisme pictural». Soirées futuristes et conférences se multiplient un peu partout en Europe, de même que les manifestes, tant politiques qu'artistiques. Gagnant rapidement tous les domaines – sculpture, architecture, musique, mais aussi cinéma, théâtre, danse, mode et cuisine –, le futurisme opère jusque dans les années 1930 une véritable révolution des idées, et une mise en cause de l'art lui-même. C'est à l'analyse de cette «philosophie du devenir» que nous convie Giovanni Lista, manifestes à l'appui.

Summary:
The dictionary. The ubiquitous high-gloss fashion ad. The fraught relationship between artist and critic. Sleeping Beauty ties these disparate strands of our everyday lives together only to strip away everything we thought we knew about each of them. A collaborative work by the artist John Sparagana and the critic Mieke Bal, this truly cutting-edge work takes the shape of a conversation between his creations—distressed, or “fatigued,” magazine pages—and her words, imagining anew the relationships of image to text and of art to those who write about it.

This essential publication advances an expanded understanding and appreciation of the artist’s work within the context of 20th-century modernism.

Encyclopaedic in form, Marina Roy’s ''Queuejumping'' eloquently unspools manifestations of capitalist, colonialist, agrologic, and scientific impulses, all within the context of the letter Q. Roy enlists art writing, poetry, lists, found images, and essays on humankind’s hunger to supersede the Other (in order to uphold what she calls ''the vertically directed world'') in this artfully academic work. From queens, queers, quadrupeds, and the Quran, to quick, quiddity, and quotidian, and from millions of years of organic decay to contemplating contemporary art, dive into the origins of hegemonic forces, what is lost by winning, and what can be gained by stepping out of line.

Stanton’ (2015), ‘The Corner Show’ (2015), ‘Cinema’ (2017), and ‘Essen’ (2016–2021). Wouter Davidts’s analysis of ‘Untitled’ (2014) sets the tone, a work that seems to anticipate the complex interplay between drawing, sculpture, and architecture apparent in Metten’s other projects, where he gives spaces with a distinct social programme and scale a sculptural transformation. With photos by Jan Kempenaers and drawings by Kris Kimpe and Samyra Moumouh.
