It also offers new perspectives on the reception of this package that was intended to cast a contemporary dye on the abstract works that the Congolese artist, Tshela Tendu - better known until now by the name of Djilatendo - painted in the period between 1929 and 1932.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis exhibition brings together for the first time almost all of Tshela Tendu's geometric abstractions, most of which are completely unknown to the public. Their presentation is discussed in a series of dialogues that Vincent Meessen conducts with the artist Toma Muteba Luntumbue, the publisher Guy Jungblut, the curator Elena Filipovic, the ethno-historian Jan Vansina, and the art historian Yasmine Van Pee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough this polemic approach to abstraction, which is perceived, beyond its formal aspects, as both an epistemic issue and a power matrix, Vincent Meessen is once again making a precise and informed « para-curatorial » gesture that casts light on a blind spot in colonial modernity. He also further investigates the boundaries of his practice and the terms of intelligibility in his collaborative work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SNOECK GENT","offers":[{"title":"Used - like new","offer_id":53896799191382,"sku":"9789461614148-N","price":24.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/tendu-tshela-tshela-tendu-vincent-meessen-patterns-for-re-cognition-9789461614148","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
