Accompanying the retrospective exhibition No Room for Regrets that the MACS is dedicating to Johan Muyle, this important monograph traces the Belgian visual artist's career from his early object assemblages to his motorized sculptures and monumental paintings. Organized into several thematic chapters, the book brings together numerous previously unpublished documents as well as an essay placing the artist's work in the political and artistic context of the last thirty years.
In order to reflect the polymorphic nature of the work, several aspects of the plastic thought of this prolific artist are thus analyzed. From the situationist poetry of his first tracts to the recycling of the codes of popular arts, passing through the exotic and syncretic aesthetic inspired by his numerous travels around the world.
