ACADEMIA

Axel Vervoordt presents Academia: Qui es-tu?, taking place at La Chapelle de l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, from September 10 until November 23, 2008. It is the second part of a trilogy which started with the exhibition Artempo: When time becomes Art and which ran at the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, Italy, between June and November last year. The trilogy will be completed in 2009 with the Venice-based L’Infinito del Non Finito.

Academia: Qui es-tu? is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue published in English and French (2 separate versions) by MER Paper Kunsthalle, Ghent. A collector’s item in its own right, the catalogue features a preface by Henry-Claude Cousseau, Directeur de l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and Giandomenico Romanelli, Director of the City Museums in Venice, and essays by Eddi De Wolf, René de Bartiral, Bernard Lietaer and Dominique Païni.
