Beating Around the Bush is an exhibition programme for 2014, in which the Bonnefantenmuseum will be presenting its collection in an investigative way. In four episodes, both the fixed values and the 'quiet reserve' of the collection will be brought into dialogue with new and proposed acquisitions. In addition, interventions in the form of small solo presentations will function as mirrors to reflect new content-related insights and perspectives. Each episode has a different thematic angle, through which the individual artists' practices will be explored, as well as the museum collection as a whole and associated movements.

Beating Around the Bush Episode #1 explores how contemporary artists deal with universal and timeless questions about the condition humaine, or human condition; questions about the origin of things, as well as their loss or disappearance. How does art relate to visible reality, and what other realities are depicted? What personal mythologies do artists develop in their work, and what overlap is there with religion and mysticism?

With artworks by:
Francis Alÿs, Joan van Barneveld, Jean Marc Bustamante, Patrick Van Caeckenbergh, István Csákány, Hugo Debaere, Jan Dibbets, Peter Doig, Luciano Fabro, Fons Haagmans, Camille Henrot, Anselm Kiefer, Piet Killaars, Suchan Kinoshita, Hans Lemmen, Claude Lévêque, Mark Manders, Keetje Mans, Rik Meijers, Navid Nuur, Neo Rauch, Aldo Rossi, Ray Smith, Roman Signer, Susana Solano, Johan Tahon, Luc Tuymans, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, Toon Verhoef, Helen Verhoeven, Han van Wetering, Bas de Wit.

You are cordially invited to attend the opening of Beating around the Bush Episode #1: Thursday February 13 2014, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m

Compleet overzichtswerk 20 jaar beeldende kunst Johan Tahon 

'De kracht van Johan Tahon ligt in zijn koppige houding waarbij hij de sporen wil blijven laten zien van het gevecht dat vaak alleen - en altijd alleen ten volle - in het atelier van de kunstenaar zichtbaar en tastbaar is.' Dixit Jan Hoet, die kunstenaar Johan Tahon destijds ontdekte.

Meer dan dertig jaar later is er nu Universus, het boek bij de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in Oudenaarde, genoemd naar het beeld dat er al twintig jaar staat. Dat is ook het tijdsbestek dat Universus beslaat, want meer nog dan een catalogus is het ook het verhaal van de evolutie in Tahons beeldhouwkunst, van zijn plek in de kunstgeschiedenis én van de objecten die hij verzamelt.
