Wonders are Collectible
Thijs Demeulemeester
Taxidermy elevated to fine art
Weird and wonderful overview of the fine art of taxidermy, a world between reanimation and
reincarnation.
Responds to the growing interest in these cabinets of curiosity.
At present, a true revival is taking place of the art of taxidermy: butterflies and beetles on pins,
stuffed baby chicks and foxes. This phenomenon is everywhere nowadays: from fancy apartments
to luxurious boutiques. Museums are reintroducing their taxidermy collections while contemporary
artists are blowing new life into this art form – think of Damien Hirst, Koen Vanmechelen or Wim
Delvoye.
Aren't we all speechless at the ultimate beauty that nature has to offer? Don't we all want to capture
it and indulge in these images forever? To capture animals in all their glory in such a way that it
shows every flamboyant, scintillating detail is a delicate art. This book gives an overview of the
history, the myths and the symbolism, the process, the most wonderful collections and interiors,
decorated as true Wunderkammers, and the craftsmen and artists from past and present who
elevated taxidermy to fine art.
Jeroen Lemaitre (1987) is a young man from Leuven whose talent was discerned in 2014 by the
Musée des Arts Décoratifs, a museum of the decorative arts and design in Paris. Since then, he has
worked under the label of 'Animaux Speciaux' progressing further with his creations using animals,
insects and butterflies from the tropics.

Mixed Grill
Lionel Jadot
photography Serge Anton
"Travelling the globe to work on various projects,
from large European businesses to European
royalty, Jadot brings a custom approach to each
project, oftentimes designing the furniture that's
for each one." - www.design-milk.com
"My job is very varied and I like creating a new
universe each day. My style is not defined and it is
the diversity of my work that attracts people.
Dreamers are my best audience." - Lionel Jadot
"I never make a decor that is fashionable but I
always try to find out what is hidden behind the
walls of a house and I try to create something
authentic, where all elements come together and
the end result is correct and honest." - Lionel Jadot
Lionel Jadot is the archetype of an eclectic person.
Born from a family of furniture makers, the
workshop was his playground and at a very young
age he became interested in the art of making furniture. He expanded his focus later on and can
now call himself an architect, interior designer, designer, artist and movie director. In his view
working equals playing, recycling, assembling, always with a nod towards other cultures, the past,
and local context.
Thijs Demeulemeester is a Belgian lifestyle journalist, specialising in interiors, contemporary art and
architecture.
Serge Anton graduated at the photography school of Brussels. Since 1988 he has been working for
various interior magazines such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration, Marie Claire Maison, etc.
He has also published several books.

Monteverdi
A village in Tuscany
Ilaria Miani , Cécile Vaiarelli and Bernard Touillon
The extraordinary work of restoration and
transformation of a small village in Tuscany
Monteverdi is a village in val d'Orcia, one of the
most beautiful countrysides of Tuscany and
declared a World Cultural Heritage site by
UNESCO.
This book illustrates the extraordinary work of
restoration and transformation which has been
carried out. This charming medieval village has
been saved from its state of abandonment and
neglect through the care and sensibility of Ilaria
Miani, architect and interior designer, who has
returned it to its original lovely appearance and
supported by Michael L. Cioffi, an American lawyer
who fell in love with Bella Italia. This love
developed while studying the classics at the
University of Notre Dame - from Virgil to Cicero
and up through the great literature, philosophy,
science and art of the Renaissance. Ten years ago
he stepped into the village of Castiglioncello del
Trinoro in Tuscany. Although the village was physically dilapidated, he found in her old bones,
perched above the rolling fields of Tuscany, the story of a rich history, culture and land. Seduced by
this story and propelled by love, he began to restore and preserve the village, giving birth to the
vision of Monteverdi, now fully realised, as seen in the pages of this book.
Ilaria Miani is a designer with a passion for restoring abandoned architectural sites such as
farmhouses, palaces and villages. Her inspirations are old stones, contemporary art, art history and
renaissance. She always respects the original style of a place while restrucuting it and renovating it.
She stays true to the history and soul of a building yet tries to combine this with new forms and
volumes, trying to create a new world that is intuitive and sophisticated. Bernard Touillon is a
photographer always looking for the perfect light. He works for different international magazines.
Cecile Vaiarelli is a fashion journalist, passionate about Italy, design, art history and travelling.

Haute-à-Porter
Filep Motwary
The influence of Haute Couture on Prêt-à-
Porter
With contributions by Vivienne Westwood,
Ann Demeulemeester, Dior, Christian Lacroix,
Yohji Yamamoto, Stephen Jones, Viktor and
Rolf… and many other designers, journalists
and fashion experts.
Haute Couture creations and how they
influence the way we shape our bodies.
Haute couture often dazes us by its precision,
craftsmanship and the extravaganza inherent
to it. Clothing items are made out of
proportion, unique materials are used and
everything is hand-finished. But also the Prêt-
à-porter collections of today comply with the
classic principles of Haute Couture. The items
shown on the catwalk should theoretically be
wearable, but often in reality this is entirely
not the case. Haute-à-Porter examines the
relationship between Haute Couture and
prêt-à-porter collections and shows the evolution in their relationship during the past 25 years.
Filep Motwary started his career in the Greek editions of Vogue and L’Officiel. Later he worked for
fashion houses such as John Galliano, Christian Dior and Chloe. Nowadays he is the Fashion Features
Editor of Dapper Dan Magazine, he photographs for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, New Yorker’s THE CUT,
to name a few, has his own fashion blog, Un nouveau Idéal and is still active as a designer.

Chew On Eating
Katja Gruyters
In Chew On Eating Katja Gruyters describes the
facts of food culture and unveils some of the
strange things we are inclined to believe when it
concerns eating habits. Against the backdrop the
book will present an overview of food desing
projects that Katja Gruyters has been working on.
With a lot of pictures this design book will feed
your mind, and inspire new ways of thinking about
ingredients, dishes, meals, and whatever we can
use to nourish ourselves, both adequately and
enjoyably.

1998. During her time there, she had already started to specialize in designing food and drink. As
part of her final project she looked at different ways of designing meat substitutes. Her high-protein
dough balls and filled seaweed rolls actually led to her first job in the food sector. She soon decided
to call herself a food designer, explaining at the same time that she worked on concepts for both
food and drink. She develops her own products and ideas.

Cuba La Lucha
Unique pictures of a country in transition
Carl De Keyzer
Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer
went to Cuba and came back with
surprising, often tragicomical pictures of a
split country. Fidel Castro on a wall poster,
while a man on the same picture wears a
T-shirt that spells FBI. Four Cubans
withdrawing money in a bank, while Che
Guevara watches them from a portrait
above their heads. In his new photobook,
with an introduction by curator and
publicist Gabriela Salgado, Carl De Keyzer
captures Cuba’s duality in pictures. With a
master’s eye, he paints the picture of a
country that is still rooted in communism,
while reaching for Western capitalism.
Carl De Keyzer has been a member of the
world renowned photo agency Magnum
since 1994. His pictures have been
internationally published and exposed.
The permanent threat of decay in modern
society and the impact of power on
everyday life are frequent themes in his
work. Samples of his work can be found on
www.carldekeyzer.com.
Gabriela Salgado is an Argentine who lives and works in London. She curated a number of
expositions and has worked for Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery. Amongst other things, she has
published Contemporary Art in Latin America and Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America.

Capa Lifetime Achievement Infinity Award 2015.
This book is a unique document of a unique country and its capital and will also be the catalogue for

Belgium Resized
Jasper Léonard
‘Honey, I shrunk the city’
Belgium as never seen before,
viewed through the eyes of this
urban photographer from
Antwerp
An original photo book for
Belgians and tourists alike
Amazing, realistic or staged,
actual size or miniature? The
pictures seem to emerge from
the classic film Honey, I shrunk
the kids. With his home-built
lenses, Jasper Léonard wanders
about everywhere in order to
capture life in the big city. He
works from rooftops, lifting platforms, occasionally even from a helicopter. In contrast to the well-
known Slinkachu, he shows the world as it is, yet in miniature form.
Jasper Léonard (1985) graduated in 2010 from Sint-Lucas with an MA in visual arts, but since his
childhood, he was always fascinated by photography. Since 2012, he has been Antwerp’s urban
photographer.

Be NY
Patrick van Rosendaal
Winner of the Red Dot Design awards
Be NY is an original city guide about the most
intriguing city in the world, but also a manual that
quickly and simply learns you how to be a New
Yorker.
Discover together with Patrick van Rosendaal the
life, preferences and habits of 24 colourful New
Yorkers. They happily share their experiences and
give you a unique look, from a different perspective,
on life in the city among cities.
What are their favourite places to enjoy art, culture
or tasty food? Where do they go for some peace and
quiet or to have a good time? Which bars do they
frequent, and where should you go for the best cup
of coffee? Which museums are trendy, and which
galleries are up and coming? Where to find the best
deals, and which shops are absolute musts?
Patrick’s stories, knowledge and tips are the ultimate
preparation for your adventure in The Big Apple.
Patrick van Rosendaal followed his heart to the
United States seven years ago, and quickly lost his
heart to New York. His admiration for the city grew
into a real passion. The urge to share his passion
drove him into a life as a city guide. As an official member of GANYC, the prestigious professional
association for city guides, he has already worn out three Vespa’s and an uncountable amount of
soles during the thousands of kilometres he has covered while exploring the city. His own city guide
company Be New York is becoming increasingly successful. Patrick and his team have given more
than ten thousand visitors an unforgettable experience.
Duval Branding has won the prestigious RedDot Design Award for the book BE NY – from tourist to
New Yorker by Patrick van Rosendaal. With his company BE NY, he focuses on guiding tourists and
groups in New York. After all his journeys through the city, Patrick wrote this book on the basis of
various portraits of New Yorkers who crossed his path. Interesting, creative, outspoken, or
distinctive personalities who uncover the ins & outs of life in New York.
Strong Belgian design.
The RedDot Design Award 2015 awarded the high-quality design of the book in the category
“Publishing & Printed Media”.
“With over 7.451 submissions from 53 countries, the RedDot can look back on a successful edition
in 2015. As a result, we feel very honoured to be among the winners of 2015”, says Marc Wellens,
Managing Director Duval Branding.
“Winning this award proves that Belgian designing talent, too, is being appreciated internationally.
Furthermore, this recognition supports our ambition to grow further on an international level. As a
Belgian branding agency, we do not often get the opportunity to prove ourselves to the world. But
if we do get the chance, it’s most often a success.”

Wim Vandekeybus
30 years at the top of the
dance world
This book offers an exclusive
glimpse into the head and
soul of Wim Vandekeybus,
choreographer, dancer,
filmmaker, photographer, a
homo universalis of art. In
2016, his company Ultima
Vez celebrates its 30th
birthday, but never before
has his oeuvre been
recorded in a book. Until
now.
The book is a visual trip
alongside the most powerful
images from his repertoire, a
quest for the ideas and
themes that inspire him. It
also contains unpublished
texts, notes and scripts from
his shows and films. A
number of compagnons de
route, such as David Byrne, Mauro Pawlowski, Peter Verhelst, … offer a personal textual
contribution.
Choreographer, filmmaker and photographer Wim Vandekeybus and his company Ultima Vez are at
the top of the dance industry in Belgium and even the world. After a cooperation with Jan Fabre, he
founded his very own company Ultima Vez in 1986. His first performance What the Body Does Not
Remember (1987) was an international success and was awarded a Bessie Award (New York Dance
and Performance Award), a prize awarded for pioneering work.
'Vandekeybus brought into focus a whole new genre of modern dance... Combat rolls, breakneck
sprints and savagely wrestled duets became the defining vocabulary of a new generation.' (The
Guardian)

Divine Decadence
Abattoir Fermé
-Investigates the manifestation of decadence
through art
-Includes works by Félicien Rops, Erwin Olaf, Jan
Fabre, Man Ray, Marc Lagrange, Kees van Dongen,
and never-before published paintings by Roberto
Ferri
Theatre collective Abattoir Fermé and the Kasteel
van Gaasbeek join forces in their search for the
essence of decadence. By means of the works of
artists such as Félicien Rops, Erwin Olaf, Jan Fabre,
Man Ray, Marc Langrange, and many more, they
investigate the manifestation of decadence.
Disappointed by the world's imperfection, artists
and intellectuals at the end of the 19th century
expressed their disapproval for the ruling values.
Art, beauty, and luxury seemed to them to be the
only way out of the bourgeois reality.
In contemporary art also this fine line between
sensual refinement and perversity, aesthetics and
the morbid, taboo and norm is a recurring theme.
This book defies you to rhyme those extremes,
face the duality and capture the symptoms of decadence within our society.
Stef Lemous is a Flemish actor and director and artistic leader of theatre collective Abattoir Fermé.
In all his projects he tries to unravel the 'world behind the world', fantasies and rituals.

Golden Times
Wealth and Status in the Middle Ages
Peter Stabel, Véronique Lambert, Tim Soens and others
Reveals impressive new insights into the middle
ages
Today's world is the product of the late middle
ages. In what is now called 'Flanders', a new kind
of man emerged. A practical man, an
entrepreneur, a critical man who no longer
believed what church and nobility tried to tell him.
He discovers the world, creates, produces and
innovates. In this book young researchers take us
back to the middle ages.
With attention for top works of art and unknown
gems. This art book has a fresh academic point of
view: the economic history of the middle ages
from the viewpoint of different social groups, with
surprising results on clichéd thoughts such as the
passive countryside, the dark middle ages and the
role of women in society.
Peter Stabel teaches social and economic history of the middle ages at Antwerp University. He was
a guest lecturer at University of Pennsylvania and Sorbonne in Paris. Véronique Lambert is a doctor
in history. Her publications are about national identity, history and diplomacy in the middle ages.
Since 2015 she has focused on historical research, publications, cultural projects and
communication.

Politics as Painting
Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630) and the Archducal Enterprise of Empire
Katharina Van Cauteren
-First overview of the works of this 'forgotten'
painter - Hendrick De Clerck (1560-1630)
Apart from a handful of art historians no one has
ever heard of the Brussels painter Hendrick De
Clerck (1560-1630). Nevertheless, De Clerck was a
contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens, the latter
having gone down in history as an artistic
trailblazer and painting powerhouse, while
Hendrick De Clerck has quietly faded into oblivion.
Yet the subtly coded, vibrantly
coloured pictures that De Clerck painted for
Archduke Albert of Austria and his wife Isabella
are political propaganda of the highest order. In
creating a mode of archducal representation that
could help to gain an empire, the sky is quite
literally the limit.
De Clerck represents Isabella as wise Minerva,
chaste Diana, the Virgin Mary. And that's nothing compared to her husband, for in De Clerck's
paintings Albert is transformed into the sun god Apollo or even into Jesus Christ himself. Hendrick
De Clerck's mastery of ingenious pictorial strategy made him a leading player in one of the most
ambitious projects history has ever seen. For those who know how to read them, his paintings tell a
story of power, political promises, and grandiose ambition. Most of all, they are supreme examples
of image-building; for as the Archdukes were well aware, even as a monarch you're only as
important as you make yourself.
Katharina Van Cauteren (1981) is an art historian specialising in the early modern period. With
irresistible enthusiasm leavened with insightful perspective she brings the paintings and their
patrons back to fascinating life. The result is sometimes funny, sometimes tragic and often
surprisingly topical, for in the enterprise of empire, some things just don't change.

Microfactories and their contempory-ists
Move aside, Mr Ford
Masa & Jon Kleinhample
-On the culture of today’s rule-breaking
businesses, their worlds, their micro-factories. On
their fears, hiccups, dreams and drives
-This is a book about a new breed of entrepreneur,
tangled up with both tradition and technology
Includes interviews with entrepreneurs from
around the globe, such as Companion Coffee,
tephen Kenn, Hedley & Bennett, …
Guided by both traditional and digital techniques,
these ‘microfactories’ operate within a
contemporary setting, forging new rules for a
unique business strategy. To quantify a company
as a ‘microfactory’ means elevating their status,
recognizing that person’s ability to shift the rules
defining operational norms within creative
businesses. They are, by definition, the
embodiment of a ground-breaking creative
renaissance, ushered in by the integration of both
tradition and technology into our daily lives,
whether business or personal. They operate
extremely agile companies with small ecological
footprints that communicate directly with their customers. They do not rely on large production
facilities; rather on their own, on-demand micro-factories. Living in both the physical city and within
a new, expansive, digitally networked community, they define a new breed of commerce. Unbound
by location, we see the emergence of a new global landscape benefitting from the intimacy of local
actors. This is not your fathers’ globalism, but one shaped by the transparency of social networks.
‘When perfection is contrasted in the same moment by imperfection. When the precision of an
industrially produced object is contaminated by the imprecision of the human hand.’ – Masa & Jon
Kleinhample
Specializing in creatively re-thinking the way in which people dwell, Klein Agency focuses on simple
solutions to living well. They make a point to focus their attention on material, beauty, and
timelessness in their design. With a focus on designing and producing products for simple living,
Klein Agency harnesses the beauty of raw materials.

On the Trail of Ebola
My Life as a Virus Hunter
Guido van der Groen
-A fascinating story about the history of Ebola
written by one of those who discovered it
-Popular science that reads like a thriller
In the mid-seventies, Guido van der Groen and his
colleagues at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in
Antwerp discovered the deadly virus Ebola. Forty
years later, the virus breaks out again in West-
Africa. Why is this virus seemingly unstoppable?
Could the epidemic have been prevented? Do we
have to fear an unprecedented pandemic?
To answer these questions, Guido van
der Groen, an internationally renowned virus
fighter, goes back to where it all began. As a virus
fighter, he dedicated the rest of his career to the
study of Ebola, HIV and other viruses. Van der
Groen puts this unprecedented manifestation of
Ebola into an international health management
perspective, lifting his book on the geopolitical
shelf as well. The result is an exciting read, which
makes critical observations about the present
pandemic psychoses and which urges authorities
to invest in durable solutions.
Prof. Dr. Guido van der Groen is emeritus professor in Virology and former head of the department
of Microbiology at the Institute for Tropical Medicine in Antwerp.
