René Korten - Hide Your Backbone
Launched 14 november 2024 at De Pont museum Tilburg
Hide Your Backbone is a new monography that gives insight into the development of my work as a visual artist and does justice to its versatility. An ambitious and exciting publication that also lays a foundation for what is to come.
It is a 176-page bilingual hardcover book. In addition to many images, it contains a selection of my notes, texts by art journalist Hilde Van Canneyt (BE), museum director Frank-Thorsten Moll (DE), publicist and art historian Rick Vercauteren (NL) and a cycle of poems by Frans Budé (NL). It was designed by Mark van den Eijnden, Van den Eijnden - ontwerp.
Hide Your Backbone is presented at De Pont museum in Tilburg (NL) on Thursday 14 November 2024.
Other book presentations will be on 19 January 2025 in Raum für Gäste, Aachen (DE) and on 2 February 2025, combined with an exhibition, in IKOB Museum für Zeitgenössische Kunst in Eupen (BE).
