| book description |

The provocative and often comic Belgian art duo Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys present in book form their collaborative contribution to the 2019 Venice Biennale The Belgian artists Jos de Gruyter (b. 1965) and Harald Thys (b. 1966) have collaborated for more than two decades on artworks in a variety of media, including film, photography, drawing, painting, and sculpture; they are known for thought-provoking works, often imbued with an antic sense of humor. The pair was selected to represent Belgium at the 2019 Venice Biennale, and this book accompanies and documents their exhibit, also titledÂ Mondo Cane.Â The book is composed of a series of original, illustrated texts, written alternately in English, French, German, Dutch, and Italian.Â The texts are intended to evoke a variety of human conditions in an environment reminiscent of present-day Europe. Its title refers to a 1962 Italian film that documentedâ€”in a style intended to provoke Western audiencesâ€”cultural practices from around the world. Lavishly illustrated and designed by the artists themselves, this book both reflects de Gruyter and Thysâ€™s contribution to the Venice Biennale and is a work of art in its own right. Distributed for Mercatorfonds Exhibition Schedule: Belgian Pavilion of the 58th Venice Biennale (May 8â€“November 24, 2019) Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (Spring 2020)
