Bakken vol gevoel (“Baking full of feeling”) is a new book by Laura Verhulst, also known as Madam Baker. From publisher Borgerhoff & Lamberigts (translated):

Verhulst […] describes how baking offers solace in good and bad times: from joyful moments to periods of sorrow and loss. She finds comfort in the rhythm of kneading dough and watching baked goods rise in the oven. But equally, she hits the bake when there is something to celebrate. Together with therapist Rebekah Rogiest, she explores four emotions – joy, sadness, anger, and fear – each of which serves as inspiration for a chapter. With more than 50 unique recipes, this book invites you to allow your feelings while baking. By taking time for yourself in the kitchen, you not only create something delicious, but you also make space for personal growth and peace.

Adrift reflects on Ricardo Brey’s most recent body of works Adrift (2014–ongoing) as well on the artist’s overall aspirations for his exhibitions in Museum De Domijnen in Sittard, the Netherlands (February – June 2019) and Gerhard-Marck’s Haus, Bremen, Germany (December 2019 – March 2020). While it is not an artist book in the traditional sense, it is definitively a project by an artist. The aim of the publication is to create a sense of the artistic space that Brey wants to offer, with a polyphony of voices and an immersive sphere in which a quality of behavior is of prime importance.
