This dense and comprehensive catalogue for a retrospective exhibition of the work of Walter Swennen at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre offers a detailed look at the Belgian artist’s oeuvre, delving into its humorous interaction between pictorial practice and poetical communication. With sources of inspiration ranging from comic strips and children’s drawings to ads and world literature, Swennen shows a preference for subtle forms of rebellion, deviation and questioning authorship and originality. Besides documentation of numerous works, the book includes a selection of the artist’s published texts, plus essays by Caroline Dumalin and Quinn Latimer, among others.
