Het archipeldenken van Julien Creuzet
Op de zestigste Biennale di Venezia zal Julien Creuzet Frankrijk vertegenwoordigen. In de aanloop naar de Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte zoals de Biënnale officieel heet, hebben de twee curatoren van het Franse paviljoen, Céline Kopp en Cindy Sissokho, een solotentoonstelling van de multidisciplinaire kunstenaar samengesteld. Creuzet werkt op het kruispunt van beeldende kunst, video, performance en poëzie. Sorana Munsya bracht een bezoek aan Le Magasin CNAC in Grenoble, waar de focus ligt op bewegend beeld en op de vele dialogen en resonanties die zijn universum kenmerken.

De andere kant van de Dender
Netwerk Aalst heeft een nieuwe naam: NW, open huis voor hedendaagse kunst en film. Ook het gebouw is grondig gerenoveerd, en heeft een kersverse artistieke leiding verzorgd door Godart Bakkers en Laura Herman. Pieter Vermeulen ging naar Aalst voor een gesprek met het duo, op een moment dat de stad haar carnavalsroes nog uitsliep.

Eden Tinto Collins in Beursschouwburg
Roaming the Imaginal brengt in een eerste tentoonstelling van de Franse kunstenaar in België verschillende werelden samen: fictie en werkelijkheid, geest en gedachte, materie en virtualiteit. Als dichteres en hypermedia kunstenares verkent ze noties van netwerken en onderlinge afhankelijkheid, ficties en fricties tussen melancholie, mythologie, post-trans en cyber-menselijkheid. Charlotte Boddaert en Wolfram Vandenbergen brachten een bezoek.

Véréna Paravel en Lucien Castaing-Taylor
Filmmakers Véréna Paravel en Lucien Castaing-Taylor zijn allereerst antropologen. Bij het duo draait alles om de waarneming: om het kijken, het luisteren, het voelen. In Cosmic Realism, hun tentoonstelling in het Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, bewegen Paravel en Castaing-Taylor van de filmzaal naar het museum en weer terug. Ze verknippen films in rushes, stills, scènes en maken van een filmprogramma een parcours doorheen een oeuvre. Cosmic Realism: ‘dat gaat over het grote en het kleine, het zichtbare en het onzichtbare, over dichterbij komen en afstand houden, het verwachte en het onverwachte’, aldus Pieter Van Bogaert.

Boeken
Derek Jarman en Olivia Laing hebben elkaar nooit gekend. Toch was de filmmaker, auteur en beeldend kunstenaar belangrijk in het leven van Laing. Via Jarman ging ze nadenken over het kunstenaarschap en leerde ze de stuwende kracht van kunst kennen en beoefenen. Hij was het die haar via zijn dagboek, Modern Nature, over het nut van kruiden, planten, de teelt ervan en de aanleg van een tuin instrueerde. Het hoeft niet te verwonderen dat Olivia dertig jaar na Jarmans overlijden nu haar eigen tuinboek schrijft: The Garden Against Time.

Verder in dit vierde Nederlandstalige nummer van GLEAN, aandacht voor de Spaanse schilder Enrique Marty, die een nieuwe serie schilderijen toont in Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal Antwerpen. De expo The One-Straw Revolution bij Framer Framed wordt door Thessa Krüger voor u onder de loep gehouden. En voor ‘Het Archief’ bespreekt Emma Ydiers deze maand een illustratie geplukt uit Symforosa, een Belgisch tijdschrift uit de jaren tachtig waarin spiritualiteit centraal stond. In hun nieuwe duo-column gaan schrijvers Persis Bekkering en Tessel Veneboer voor GLEAN naar de opera: deze maand zagen ze Brodeck, in een nieuwe uitvoering door Daan Janssens voor Opera Ballet Vlaanderen. Jan de Vylder schrijft een column waarin hij zich afvraagt waarover architectuur en structuur mogen gaan. Lees deze en nog veel meer in de nieuwe Nederlandstalige GLEAN!

are looking to settle in to the nice, quiet
Format: Paperback
Welcome to Littleton Cotterell,a small village in Glouchestershire. The year is 1908, and Lady Emily Hardcastle and her intrepid maid, Florence Armstrong, are looking to settle in to the nice, quiet, retired life after several years spent adventuring around the world. Naturally, such plans are always disrupted. In this case, the two women discover a dead body hanging from a tree while out on a morning walk. The death is meant to appear as a suicide, but certain inconsistencies seen to point more towards murder. With the local constabulary over their heads, Lady Hardcastle and Flo must draw on their previous experiences to solve the murder before anyone else gets hurt. The mystery goes off in fairly expected fashion, with the eccentric and kindly Lady Hardcastle relying on her witty and resourceful maid. There are suspicious characters and red herrings aplenty. And, naturally, the initial mystery gets wrapped up in several others in the course of the book. I will say this for A Quiet Life in the Country: it does not take itself too seriously. The usual tropes of the cozy mystery are addressed with a wink and a nudge (such as one character explaining to Lady Hardcastle that the tiny, 30 person village she just moved to is actually the murder capital of the country). I appreciate the effort made to acknowledge all the commonly used bits that go into a cozy murder mystery, and it certainly helped to dispel a feeling of deja vu. In all, if you’re looking for a nice, quick mystery with not one but two strong female leads, you could do far worse than to join Flo and Lady Hardcastle on their adventures. A free copy of this book was provided via Goodreads Givaways in exchange for an honest review. A Quiet Life in the Country is currently available for purchase (and, at the time of this writing, free via Kindle Unlimited).

Pay no attention to Amazon's forced "one word" reviews. Read this review instead!
Format: Kindle
When led to this page for my review I found a series of leading questions which I found quite offensive. Don't put words in my mouth Amazon. I'm quite capable of giving my own ideas and views! For instance instead of the above four one word clap trap, I give you my review: "Full of surprises" indeed! That being said, I absolutely adored "A Quiet Life In The Country". I take full advantage to read for free lots of book through Prime, but most of it is schlock. This is the gold piece found buried deep, and worth the search. It's fun and frothy reading at the level of P. G. Wodehouse and Georgette Heyer. I echo a hearty Amen! to those who found Flo and Lady Hardcastle the most diverting sleuthing duo to come along in ages. I want much much more! Well researched too, as I learned who in the upper crust sails (as in Ladyship) and an assortment of early 20th century sports figures like W. G. Grace and Jack Hobbs, and after googling pictures of same, got quite a giggle out of Grace being portrayed as Oscar Wilde. This is actually my second read of this series, and it is even better than I remembered. In the second one you get even more behind the scenes with Lady H and Flo and it is a wild ride. These are first class offerings and I'm actually buying them all and can't wait until the newest comes out next June (2017)!

Well written. Funny...out loud gafawing funny. Fun. Well crafted plot. Wonderful characters.
Format: Kindle
What a lovely surprise! A well written, well plotted. Funny. Fun. Mystery with two fresh and fine friends...Lady Hardcastle and Flo Armstrong , her erstwhile Lady's maid, Servant, Strong Right Hand Woman and friend...and...Inspector Sunderland, who finds the two so innovative and essential to the investigation of Two Murders and Some serious thefts that he is determined, and says so, that whenever they can he desires them to assist in future! I so enjoyed this first book in the series I invested in the next four...so far!...in the series. What fun...the women and now the Detective Inspector, as well, have such comical and engaging exchanges one finds herself (me) laughing so heartily she needs to pause and wipe her eyes repeatedly as she reads the story! Would highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good, well plotted mystery and a giddy, heartfelt laugh...well, series of laughs, at the same time. Dialogue is often funny...though murder and mayhem are not!...and this is a careful blend of both....just sayin'. What a wonderful edition to a huge genre of cozy and some not so cozy mystery books. I recommend this series.

a quiet life???
This is a short story collection like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie have for Holmes and Poirot/Marple. The characters remind me of the Phryne Fisher books. There are four stories in Book 1 A Quiet Life in the Country Lady Emily Hartcastle and her maid Miss Florence Armstrong are enjoying some time in the country in the small town of Littleton Cotterell when they come across a dead body. They find out that it is Frank Pickering, a local man and it is thought that he committed suicide. But investigating, it seems that he has been murdered. Who did it and why? The Circus comes to town Lady Hartcastle meets an old friend George who is the manager who for a circus that has come to town. The next day, the juggler Hubert 'Huey' Parving is found dead mawled in a cage and then others began to die. Who is behind this? The Case of the Missing Case Lady Hartcastle and Flo go to the engagement party of young Clarissa Farley-Strouds. The next day, Nelson Holloway, the trumpet player with that night's entertainment - Roland Richman's Ragtime Revue. Who killed him? As they investigate, the clues lead them to possible cursed stolen jewel. The Half-Death of Gunther Ehrlichmann Florence recounts her life before and after meeting Lady and Lord Hartcastle as she and Lady Hartcastle along with Lady Hartcastle's brother hunt down a killer. Each story is tied into the other, but exciting! Must read!
