Wim Cuyvers talks about his books.

In recent decades, Wim Cuyvers (°1958) has been active as an architect, teacher, writer, essayist and forester, among other things. The relation of literature/architecture, the concept of 'public space' and Bataille are some of his fascinations. He also realised artistic interventions in exhibition contexts and as a teacher, in walks with students, he investigated urban conditions in Sarajevo, Tirana, Brazzaville and Kinshasa, among others. For more than 10 years, Cuyvers has been 'building' Montavoi-x/es, a receptive outdoor space and refuge place, in the Jura. In this lecture, he will discuss all the publications he has made or collaborated on so far, including Wim Cuyvers/Marc De Blieck (2002), Tekst over Tekst (2005), L'Autre (2020), and DE-AD (2022). Since 2020, Wim Cuyvers has been an 'affiliated artist' at the Frans Masereel Centrum.
