JAN FABRE. STIGMATA
Actions & Performances 1976-2016
07th July to 27th August 2017
By Germano Celant
Jan Fabre. STIGMATA is a voyage into the memory of one of the biggest contemporary artists through drawings, photographs, sculptures, costumes, texts quotes, archival documents and study models – which Fabre refers to as “Thinking Models” – and
filmic documentations of his performance and poetic actions, from the second half of the 1970s to the present. Visitors are greeted by a labyrinth of tables introducing the artist’s philosophies. This tool serves to understand his ideas, his memories, his art, profoundly inspired by the traditions of Flemish painting and focused on the study and use of the body.

Doctor Fabre Will Cure You is an experimental fiction by visual artist and avant-garde filmmaker #pierrecoulibeuf, which is centered around the artist #janfabre. The film work is hereby based on diverse material: the city of Antwerp (where #janfabre has always lived and worked), his diary (Journal de nuit, published in Belgium and in France), his visual works and, above all, his historic performances. But the film does not provide a mere copy of these performances; rather, it proposes an imaginary, mental approach — i.e., a reinterpretation of performances that here become 'actions', in the cinematic sense. What is implemented in the film is the fictional potential of Jan Fabre's artistic performances and his diary.
Pierre Coulibeuf about his work: “The film—a modern fairy tale—projects #janfabre into his own imaginative universe and composes a character who changes ceaselessly identity, plays numerous roles under the most varied disguises; behind a mask, still another mask… The female character, like a ‘demon of passage’ using different faces, haunts the male character and inspires his metamorphoses, ad infinitum. [. . .] In Doctor Fabre Will Cure You, the performance frees itself from its historical, social and artistic determinations. It enters another (hi)story: that of cinema, inspiring the character's acting — a strange, enigmatic apparition that haunts the film. This performance is thereby transformed and metamorphosed by the audiovisual writing and by the space-time peculiar to cinema.”
Pierre Coulibeuf is an avant-garde filmmaker and visual artist based in Paris. He makes experimental fictions that skilfully invest the sphere of art and in which changes of identity affect the universes and artists inspiring his works (Pierre Klossowski, Marina Abramovic, #janfabre, a. o.). The main concepts of his works are doubling, simulacrum, metamorphosis, labyrinth, reality as fiction or mental projection. His films are shown in theatres as well as, recomposed, in the form of installations in museums worldwide, latest in Reykjavik Art Museum, Island (2017).
