𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼 & 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 ⟶ bozar.link/3G69GHhThe Belgian poet and essayist Dirk van Bastelaere is often regarded as one of the most significant postmodern poets in the Low Countries. His work has been profoundly influenced by American artists and poets, including Gertrude Stein, David Lynch, and John Baldessari. Bozar has invited him to write poetry inspired by Baldessari, whose retrospective will be held at Bozar this fall.
During a talk at Bozar, van Bastelaere will present his newly written poems and engage in a conversation with Christophe Van Gerrewey, writer and editor-in-chief of the Flemish art magazine De Witte Raaf. The evening will also feature the launch of a special issue of De Witte Raaf dedicated to Baldessari.
