DS Weekly is completely devoted to Rinus Van de Velde this weekend. In the run-up to his major Europalia expo Inner travels in Bozar we take you on a journey through his life and work, in words and images. Watch the teaser above to see how the artist himself contributed to this Weekly.

How does Rinus Van de Velde live and work? The artist is terrified to travel, so he thinks he is an adventurer and travels mainly in his head. He explores the world and himself in huge sets that he has recreated on a full scale. They form the basis for his works of art in charcoal or oil pastel.

Who are the friends who model for his portraits? Why does Rinus sometimes bully them, or at least do they feel that way? Who are the collectors who buy works from gallerists, and who are those gallerists? How does Van de Velde write in the history of portraiture? What does he want to say with his new film? And what’s on the wall in his house? Which books, podcasts, series and films does he recommend?
Read it this weekend The Standard Weeklycomposed in collaboration with the artist.
