MATTER. the White conferences [Matéria: conferências brancas] present, following Paul Robbrecht e Johannes Robbrecht´s conference, last November, at FAUP, entitled An Architectural Anthology, a particular vision of Robbrecht en Daem´s projects portrayed by Maarten Vanden Abeele, through 11 short films, under the heading, evoking Ornette Coleman´s composition, “Beauty is a rare thing”.

Maarten Vanden Abeele (1970) is a Belgian photographer, cinematographer and visual artist. He develops his visual art by creating installations in combination with his photo-works and performances, directed and, sometimes, performed by himself. His work led to (long-term) collaborations with, among others, Pina Bausch, Opéra National de Paris, dEUS, Jan Fabre and Vogue Paris.
Maarten Vanden Abeele portrayed different projects by Robbrecht en Daem architecten for the exhibition 'Pacing Through Architecture'.
