Graphic Matter has moved from Ghent to Antwerp. We now occupy premises at Leguit 23 in the historic city centre. This photograph gives you a first impression. These steps reflect our intentions. We shall deepen and broaden our collection in the years ahead. The year 2012 will see new editions by Luc Tuymans, a new serigraph by Raoul De Keyser, colored woodcuts by Roger Raveel, a new series of photographs by Hellen Van Meene, a sculpture by Corey Mccorkle... Leguit 23 in Antwerp will come to include an exhibition space, a library, a graphic studio, offices and a storage depot.

Dirk Braeckman at Museum M Leuven
Starting on 6 October, Museum M Leuven will offer a survey exhibition by Dirk Braeckman, one of Belgium's leading visual artists. A selection of his extensive body of photographic works of the last 20 years, juxtaposed with new images, both still and moving, will be on display. Special attention is paid to the rich textures and materials that endow his art with emphatic tactility and to the different media with which the artist experiments.
From 6 October 2011 till 8th January 2012, at Museum M Leuven.

Luc Tuymans Retrospective
For the first time, Belgium is hosting a major retrospective devoted to its renowned artist Luc Tuymans. Following a series of US cities, Brussels is the first – and only – European city where the exhibition, a co-production by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Wexner Center for the Arts, can be seen. In their selection the curators have highlighted a number of series, each of which was conceived and developed as a coherent whole by Tuymans. These have been specially brought together again for the exhibition from (mostly private) collections all over the world. In total there are some 75 works in the exhibition, offering a chronological overview of 30 years of creative work. Via topics such as the Second World War, (post-)colonialism, and 9/11, subjects such as violence, history and nationalism, perception and surveillance are addressed. Tuymans raises the issue of the immediacy of the ever-present, consumable image. His subdued colour palette plays a prominent role in this context, as does his unique, deceptively impassive but expressive style. For the first time, the exhibition offers an opportunity to see the Super 8, Super 16 and 35 mm films that Tuymans shot in the early days of his career; alongside photographs and images from popular culture, these continue to bear fruit in his working methods today.
From February 18th till May 8th, at BOZAR, Ravensteinstraat 23, 1000 Brussels.
