Henk Visch: Cosmic Dance
Barbara De Coninck
Be-Part & Posture Editions, 2026
€38,00
This book traces the rich artistic career of the Dutch artist Henk Visch (b. 1950) through numerous sculptures and drawings. The book delves deeply into the artist’s oeuvre, the roots of which lie in the art of the 1980s and 1990s.
The backbone of the book is a text by the Belgian writer Barbara De Coninck, based on interviews with Visch and organised around themes such as the beginning, public space, the drawings, the HuisHenkVisch Foundation …
Visch takes the floor and—inspired by Barbara’s questions—recounts a unique artistic practice spanning nearly half a century. Through a wealth of stories, we gain an insight into the artist’s mind and are carried along on the waves of his imaginative brain. We learn who his heroes are, what he struggles with, what his view of humanity is, and where the origins of his poetic titles lie…
In addition to the many supporting images accompanying the text, the book also features an extensive visual section of sculptures and drawings, selected by Posture Editions.
The book contains a substantial photographic coverage of the solo exhibition ‘Ik was getrouwd met een aap’ [I Was Married to a Monkey], which Visch constructed as a large-scale installation tailored to the exhibition spaces of Be-Part in Kortrijk, on display from 12 September to 29 November 2026.
