Forgetful Secretary
20,00 € c/ IVA
After diagnosis, the fact was that Austin Gross lived in his home country. He sat on the porch squinting like a potato and it was a comforting thing to imagine: rock-climbing with a blindfold. 'Can swim, eyes open,' he jotted and covered his eyes again. Sun, centrifuge, prognosis, bird-listening. The collision shaped genres like tectonic ripples. Windows open, a story while forgetting. 'I am a memory eater.'
Aras was furloughed from prison that summer. Five years before, she'd missed their movie plan, and the fact was that since then, she lived in her home country. Furlough, Aras wrote, was 'no-time.' They investigated the situation together.

The Perfect Spectator
26,50 € c/ IVA
What happens between a spectator and a work of art at the moment of encounter? How do we experience ‘meaning’ (significance) in an art work? How can the process of interpretation be understood and articulated? To address these questions, the author explores the field of reception aesthetics, with its central premise that the contemplation of art is a matter of interaction between art work and observer. The research is focused on unravelling and problematizing the theoretical terminology of the interaction between work of art and spectator, deriving from reception aesthetics as well as from hermeneutics and phenomenology, with the aim of building a new theoretical foundation for this terminology. Additionally, different concepts of the spectator are discussed extensively. Wesseling proceeds from her own personal encounters with art objects, and her professional experience in studying and writing about art, in order to arrive at a new theoretical framework for the contemplation of art works.
Janneke Wesseling is an art critic and director of PhDArts, international doctorate programme in visual art and design, at Leiden University, where she was appointed Professor in the Practice and Theory of Research in the Visual Arts, Faculty of Humanities, Leiden University.

Trust – Building on The Cultural Commons
21,40 € c/ IVA
Pascal Gielen is a writer and full professor of sociology of culture and politics at the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA) where he leads the Culture Commons Quest Office.
Karina Beumer is a visual artist. Her work starts from drawing, and often leads to other forms of art, such as music, video, sculptures, writing.
How can we break through a culture of mistrust? Suspicion regarding our fellow beings, the authorities and enterprises is growing, blamed on passing the buck and feelings of impotence. We seek remedies in regulations, contracts and procedures, assurances, audits and consultancy. As well as in good governance and transparency. But do they actually make for real trust? Is trust not always somewhat blind?
Trust: Building on the Cultural Commons highlights the crucial role played by cultural commons, shared ‘common’ life and its customs, practices, knowledge and values. After all, trust is a matter of culture, emotion and even aesthetics. Wide-ranging trust starts with the sharing of vulnerabilities, and it is Pascal Gielen’s belief that the ‘common’ provides the necessary scope. Breathing space and scope for experiment. How might a society and a policy build on this?
This book is an English and international version of Vertrouwen: Bouwen op het cultureel 'gemeen', written by Pascal Gielen and published by Valiz in November 2023. For this new English language publication, Gielen has broadened the scope of the former book, and has included several international case studies of cultural commons.
