Convivere: To Live Together

This English-language monograph accompanies Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen's exhibition of photographic works, films, installations, billboards, slide projections and paintings by Roy Villevoye (1960, Maastricht). It is published with the support of the Mondriaan Foundation and the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (Fonds BKVB) and with contributions by the anthropologist Amanda Ravetz, Sven Lütticken, the evolutionary biologist Tijs Goldschmidt and Lex ter Braak. The museum devoted a solo exhibition to the artist twenty years ago. Detours is a survey of the work that Villevoye made since the late 1980s, when he turned away from painting. This exhibition provides the first comprehensive view of his recent artistic practice.
