Jones" Subject: anenews The Archaeological Worlds of Gerti Bierenbroodspot Forwarded on behalf of the undersigned, to whom responses and inquiries should be directed. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reply-To: Judith Weingarten SIGN OF TAURUS: The Archaeological Worlds of Gerti Bierenbroodspot by Judith Weingarten with an introduction by the travel-writer Harm Botje; principal photography Erik Hesmerg. In English, hard cover edition, 304 pp, 150 full-colour, 135 b&w illustrations Printed in Holland by Wanders Publishers: $65 plus p&p Like the painters of a past Golden Age, the Dutch artist Bierenbroodspot spends three months ever year travelling along the magnificent archaeological trails of the Middle East. For the last ten years she has been living and working among the ruins of three great Caravan Cities: PETRA, PALMYRA, and BAALBECK. SIGN OF TAURUS describes Bierenbroodspot's travels, the sites and their histories, and discusses the complex and interactive affair of her recent work, the extraordinary transformation of ancient images into modern paintings of true authority and beauty. Bierenbroodspot uses archaeological worlds as the starting point for her paintings, sculpture and wall-rubbings, creating a highly personal vision of a modernity grand in theme as well as in manner. "Archaeological worlds are like parallel worlds, places that may have once existed in time, been inhabited and gone, although that's not the important thing now: rather they are worlds poised between the familiar and something altogether new, like moon-rocks brought back to earth. These are the in-between creative spaces which can only be entered when you leave the quotidian behind. In that re-created space, Bierenbroodspot refracts glowing artefacts *a thousand years old and yet newborn*, burning with the warmth of her lustrous illustrations." Bierenbroodspot's artistic inspiration comes from the Middle East. In 1996, her work in Petra was crowned by a major exhibition, presented by H.M. Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands to H.M. King Hussein and Queen Noor of Jordan, a form of gift exchange that should be familiar to every ANE archaeologist. In 1998 she became the first foreigner (and certainly the first woman ever) to be granted honorary citizenship of Baalbeck in Lebanon. NB: The text is NOT academic or strictly archaeological, but there's a lot of history, myth, etc., besides some fabulous photographs. But the main interest is, of course, the how and why a superb modern artist uses and transforms archaeological images.
