‘Plans d’evasion’ a very nice show by Michel François at SMAK, Ghent (Belgium).
All the works are connected in one way or another. In an attempt to catch the spirit of this exhibition, some more photos:
Germaine Kruip
Spotted today in De Paviljoens, Almere:
‘I see a landscape’ (2004 – 2009) by Germaine Kruip
In the exhibition ‘Germaine Kruip: Only the title remains’, I think this is one of the few works that I really liked.
There’s a short video of the work below.
Ferdinand Cheval’s ideal castle
Ferdinand ‘Postman’ Cheval’s ‘ideal castle’.
Cheval began the building in April 1879. He claimed that he had tripped on a stone and was inspired by its shape. He returned to the same spot the next day and started collecting stones.
For the next 33 years, during his daily mail route, Cheval carried stones from his delivery rounds and at home used them to build his Palais idéal, the Ideal Palace. First he carried the stones in his pockets, then a basket and eventually a wheelbarrow. He often worked at night, by the light of an oil lamp.
Cheval spent the first two decades building the outer walls. The Palace is a mix of different styles with inspirations from the Bible to Hindu mythology. Cheval bound the stones together with lime, mortar and cement.
