BAI NV Rouge Lointain: André Soupart
Rouge Lointain is first and foremost a book of photographs that is in line with the resolutely contemporary trend of preserving traces of places and activities that are in danger of disappearing. Through the images of its superb machinery that has now disappeared and its deserted architecture, it is the memory of an Italian-style theatre that lives on today. Through them it is also the work of those who worked there in the shadows and without whom the show could not have existed as we imagine. Fascinated by the beauty of its frames, the dilapidated materials, the magic of these mechanisms made of ropes, pulleys, capstans and narrow footbridges on three antique masts, André Soupart invites us to wander on the grill, under the stage and backstage and to discover a universe unknown to the spectators. Text in English and French.

Marot Surrealism in Belgium: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
From the start, the Belgian Surrealists--among them René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Paul Nougé, E.L.T. Mesens and Marcel Mariën--distinguished themselves from their Parisian counterparts with their dry wit, brilliant conceptualism and knack for combining the fantastical and the everyday (e.g., Magritte's bowler-hatted men, or Marcel Mariën's iconic single-lensed spectacle), and their disinclination to issue Breton-style manifestos. This revelatory volume celebrates the Surrealist movement in Belgium through a group of more than 250 paintings, drawings, photographs, prints and books by artists such as Rachel Baes, Paul Delvaux, Camille Goemans, Jane Graverol, Tom Gutt, Jacques Lacomblez, René Magritte, Marcel Mariën, Jacques Matton, Edouard (E.L.T.) Mesens, Paul Nougé, Gilbert Senecaut, Louis Scutenaire, Max Servais, Armand Simon, André Stas Raoul Ubac, Louis Van de Spiegele, Rogier Van de Wouwer and Robert Willems.

BAI NV Vincent was here
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) moved from place to place from quite early on in his life, never staying in one spot for very long. In the Borinage distract of Belgium, he decided to devote himself to art. The photographer Karin Borghouts followed in Vincent's footsteps, from his Dutch birthplace in Zundert to Auvers-sur-Oise in France where he took his own life. She has also reconstructed 25 of his still lifes and photographed them. Text in English, French and Dutch.
