Saturday 13 December
4:30 PM — Stief DeSmet in Conversation with Bruno Devos (Zwart Huis)

Join us for an insightful discussion with artist Stief DeSmet and publisher Bruno Devos (Hopper & Fuchs Publishers) on Saturday, presented by Zwart Huis. This conversation revolves around DeSmet’s newly published monograph Hunting & Collecting and his sculptural presentations on view during the fair.

Together, they will explore the artist’s creative process and the multitude of decisions — the “1001 choices” — that shape a comprehensive monograph. The dialogue also underscores the continued importance of high-quality physical publications in an increasingly digital landscape.

Stief DeSmet is a Belgian visual artist who lives and works in Bachte-Maria-Leerne (BE) and Minot (FR). His multidisciplinary practice includes sculpture, installation, painting, and collage. Throughout his oeuvre, DeSmet investigates the tension and interplay between nature and culture.

Bruno Devos, publisher at Hopper & Fuchs, specializes in the creation and distribution of high-quality art books and exclusive art editions, collaborating closely with artists to transform their work into refined printed form.

Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deeper into the making of an artist’s monograph and the value of book publishing within the contemporary art world.
