Tuymans engages himself with visual culture, using the frozen image to make something with real meaning. Three young writers and exhibition curators - Gerrit Vermeiren, Dieter Roelstraete and Montserrat Albores Gleason - reflect on the challenging artistic and social positions taken by painter Luc Tuymans. This book is an invitation to the reader, to look beyond the paintings. While Tuymans is and remains a painter first and foremost, a lot goes on in the margins of his paintings, before and after their creation. The artist has recently opened up a part of his artistic practice, in the form of Polaroids and other documents, that was previously largely out of sight.
