Retouche, Julien Vandevelde (KASK, 2001)

Retouche is unreleased footage from the documentary Een schilder is als Œdipus onderweg (A Painter Is as Œdipus on the Road) by filmmaker Julien Vandevelde. From 1999 onwards, on the occasion of Vandenberg’s retrospective exhibition at M HKA – Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen, until 2004, Vandevelde captured the artist working and reflecting in his studio. Providing an intimate image of the artist, the film documents the incentives and methods of his art. The footage documents Vandenberg’s contributions to the group exhibition Re-Touche: 250 Schilders van de Koninklijke Academie van de Hogeschool Gent. The exhibition was held in 2001 in the St-Peters Abbey, Ghent.
