Abstract
Jan Fabre (b. 1958, Antwerp) is regarded both in Belgium and abroad as one of the most innovative and versatile personalities in the contemporary international art scene. With a career spanning over 40 years, Jan Fabre has left an indelible mark as a visual artist, theatre artist, and writer. Fabre labels himself a consilience artist, merging elements from different disciplines, guided by fact-based theory and practice. Through this interdisciplinary approach, he continually offers fresh interpretations while creating an intensely personal visual oeuvre: a unique and coherent universe with recurring symbols and motifs. Fabre oggi non tralascia di ammonire sé stesso e il pubblico con l’installazione Love is Colder than Death all’interno della quale barricarsi prigioniero di un recinto di stile e forme - che egli stesso ha creato - e della tradizione che ne alimenta il lavoro.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
