<p>South African artist Kendell Geers (1968, Johannesburg) has become one of the most controversial artists of our times. By blowing up museum walls and burning down statues, Geers has made a name for himself as aesthetic terrorist. Fear, violence, danger and sex are omnipresent in Geers' work.In concert with a European travelling exhibition, Geers presents IRRESPEKTIV, a fully illustrated monograph highlighting the main aspects of his oeuvre. The catalogue covers installations, photographs, drawings and performances from the beginning of his career until the present. IRRESPEKTIV includes texts by Lieven de Cauter and Rudi Laermans, Christine Macel, Warren Siebrits and Andrea Vinassa, and an interview between Jerome Sans and Kendell Geers. Published by BOM publishers in cooperation with the S.M.A.K. (Ghent, Belgium), B.P.S.22 (Charleroi, Belgium), the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art (Gateshead, UK), Musée d' art contemporain de Lyon (France) and MART (Rovereto, Italy).</p>

A dramatic journey into the creative process as center stage.

On the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the famed Benicassim/ Rock Werchter music festival, along with the upcoming exhibition in the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, this book explores the "unknown" visual side of some of the most popular faces of rock and pop bands, giving an insight into the genesis of their music. Most of the bands have linked contemporary art in their lyrics and songwriting and have engaged in productive crossovers. The book compiles the artworks of bands and musicians from the 70's until today, musicians for whom visual art is yet another strung in their creative process. Featuring over 20 artists including: Brian Eno, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, Patti Smith, the Residents, The Kills, Devendra Banhart, Anthony and the Johnsons, Chicks on Speed, Miss Kitten, Fischerspooner, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Pete Doherty, David Byrne….
