Karel Martens - Unbound

Unbound accompanies Karel Martens’ first solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, bringing together a wide-ranging body of work Karel made and collected over the entire span of his decades-long career. Containing works from the show, collaged, overprinted and juxtaposed with elements found around his studio, the book balances between being an artist book and a catalog. “This publication, thoughtfully designed by Jordi de Vetten and Susu Lee in close collaboration with Martens himself, functions as a handbook to his work. But it’s an unconventional one: unstructured, non-hierarchical, playful, personal, and associative.” With texts by Thomas Castro, curator of the exhibition and , director of the

Cycladic Blues at the Cycladic by Marlene Dumas (ROMA 486)

This catalogue for an exhibition of work by Marlene Dumas at the in Athens features over 40 paintings and works on paper. It offers a cross-section of the artist’s challenging representations of the human body. The works were gathered from different phases of the artist’s life, in order to make combinations that would make sense to be shown together with works from the museum’s collection, and are grouped into four categories: the family portrait, erotic figure, fragmented body, and portraits of sculptures. In this way her artworks enter into an anachronistic dialogue with the abstracted human forms of Cycladic figurines crafted by unknown artists several millennia ago.

The book has been made on occasion of the exhibition Marlene Dumas: Cycladic Blues
Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens
June 5 until November 2, 2025

A Model / booklaunch with Jason Dodge and Julie Peeters .8.books

Friday May 9 at 7PM

Join after 8 for the launch of A Model, a new publication echoing the exhibition series at Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, with the museum’s director Bettina Steinbrügge, artist Jason Dodge and designer Julie Peeters.
Staging a conversation with the ever-evolving idea of the contemporary art museum, A Model extends the dialogue of the exhibition into a new publication. Featuring an essay on the roles museums can play – in theory, in practice and in use – the book reflects the exhibition’s structure, unfolding across a prologue, body and epilogue. It brings together major new works by Nina Beier & Bob Kil, Rayyane Tabet, Oscar Murillo, and Claire Fontaine, alongside historical pieces by Alvar Aalto and Tomaso Binga. Like the exhibition, the publication becomes an exhibition in itself, with contributions by designer Julie Peeters, photographer Adrianna Glaviano and artist-editor Jason Dodge.
