The bright and the poor living in the anarchic bundle of the
profane are the colorful contrapoints to Tuymans's silent heights.
The photographs by Martin Parr, shown from 07th May until 17th
August gather documents of hardship and social protest during the
British Thatcherism, and, in the more recent work, insights into
the "New Decadence", in particular in Russia, whose
assets currently inject more in the British luxury industry - from
the private school to the Burberry underpants - than any political
savings or spendings could ever manage.

The scene to imagine: You
are laying up the Good Friday, the smell of Prosecco in your nose and

The "deconstructive" aspect of postmodern
Tuymans's painting behaves so far, coupled with the always
pleasant identifiability and brightness of its representations,
striking uncritically. Even by the biographical relevant
catholicity, but also because of the restriction on representation
and abstraction - it could negatively be judged as the complete
exclusion of experience – Tuymans affirms in his works
religious beliefs. The "superficial peace" in his work
group "Les Revenants" of 2007, which deals according to
the curators with the Jesuit Order and the staging of
ecclesiastical power, can be checked during the exhibition from
12th March until 12th May 2008: whether the art as a celebration
