Stalking

Believe it or not,  a few days after spotting Jan De Cock at lunch time and showing off about this good fortune @ http://whatisbelgium.blogspot.be/2014/09/jan-de-cock.html,
I noticed him again. It happened  just before my visit to the wonderful exhibition in Strombeek  As I feared this might be too much of a good thing, I procrastinated a bit.  
I do not know the guy but I do fear that one day he will look for the author of TiB in order to accuse him/her of stalking.

Jan De Cock



 After having the good fortune of being able to post about celebreties like Jan Decleir and Dimitri, I happened to run into  contemporary visual artist Jan De Cock,  yesterday at lunchtime in Brussels.  I hesitated asking him about taking his picture but did not for several reasons.  He seemed rather busy on the phone, I thought he would prefer an incognito lunch  and finally I expected a negative answer. Hence, the phone trick again.
According to his website, he is "considered one of the pioneers of monumental sculptures made in-situ. From his very first sculptures, he has been dealing with the theme of production and with the way an artist relates to the broad, culturally injected concept of modernism... "
