The book "René Heyvaert Voor altijd gesloten" highlights a series of artworks and letters by René Heyvaert (1929–1984).
René Heyvaert led a captivating—albeit far too short—life and pioneered a body of work across various fields, from progressive architecture, sculptural interventions to literature. A practice in which the material and spatial engage in a dialogue with his immediate surroundings.
Throughout his career, the artist’s personal letters and writings were published in numerous literary journals.
Artist-photographers Tim Onderbeke and Julie Poisquet explore René Heyvaert’s legacy in greater depth. In this publication, they employ a refined figurative sequence, creating a dialogue between their photographs and Heyvaert’s architecture and artworks. Previously unpublished letters to Kristien De Witte serve as a unifying thread in the rich story shared by Heyvaert and his muse.
In collaboration with Settantotto art Gallery. With a contribution by Bart De Baere.
