    I've been fascinated recently by the work of Berlinde De Bruyckere. The designers of A.F. Vandevorst have turned me on to her work last year. There are now two exhibitions of her work going on in London and Ghent. Her work is so raw and hardcore...
    Her piece, "Kreupelhout – Cripplewood", in the Belgian pavilion at the Venice Biennial last year had an immense impact and was definitely one of the most visceral pieces I saw throughout. The way in which she channels organisms/bodies through all her objects is fascinating to say the least and especially impressive at the scale which this particular piece exists in. The interaction with the space and lighting there allowed for a tranquil and considered situation even with the hustle and bustle of visitors and staged the object in a perhaps obvious, but none-the-less fantastically appropriate manner.

      Saw Berlinde her work for the first time in 2011 and saw my favorite exhibition of her in 2012 named ''Innocence is precisely: Never Avoid The Worst''

              I can't believe this has been dormant for a year. I'm all about the Belgians now, particularly Berlinde De Bruyckere and Michael Borremans, which is such a neat counterpart to its fashion and another layer of proof that culturally this country punches way above its weight and it makes me fall in love with it all over again.

                In Mono-Kultur#31, Michael Borremans was in conversation with Renko Heuer, and he talked about clothing as a work uniform:

                RH Is it true that you need to wear a suit in order to be able to make good work?

                MB Yeah, I always paint in my best clothing, and the moment theres paint on my suit, I have to change; then the suit becomes work clothes, and the magic is gone. The suit has to be impeccable. I have a lot of suits, but only some suits, like this dark blue one I'm wearing now, I really, really like to wear.

                RH Are those really fancy then?

                MB Well, I dont get them made especially. This is a Dries van Noten, it has a nice fabric.
                I leave this here uncommented, but I think he’s got attitude.

                  Thanks for this! Is there a link with the rest of the interview?

                      Noam Gonick caught my eye recently. If anyone is interested in sexual identity and film his work is a great resource. With pride coming up it seems like an appropriate submission. :)
