It is an installation consisting of objects, photographs of the objects and black cut-outs that match the objects. *Directions of Interpretations* is one of the many alphabets designed and executed by Guy Rombouts. At the basis of this alphabet lie Old Italian musical terms that successively begin with a, b, c, etc.: acuto, bizzaro, coperto\u0026hellip; An exception is the term *hot*, borrowed from Jazz music. Each music term thus stands for one of the letters of our alphabet. The terms are represented by a composition of objects, referring to the number of letters and the meaning of the term. Fresco, for instance, consists of six letters and means \u0026lsquo;fresh\u0026rsquo;, and is expressed by a composition of six vegetables each beginning with the letters that go to form fresco: finocchio (fennel); ravanello (radish), etc. Thus, a combination of objects refers to one of the terms. These objects are assembled in the museum rooms, but are also to be seen on the photographs. Only with the word \u0026lsquo;bizzaro\u0026rsquo; does the picture of the objects differ from what we see in the new assemblage. Here the artist opts for creating for each new assemblage of this work a new bizarre composition.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eHet werk *Directions of Interpretations* werd voor de eerste keer tentoongesteld in 1989 in Rome. Het is een installatie die bestaat uit objecten, foto\u0026rsquo;s van de objecten en zwarte uitsneden die bij de objecten passen. *Directions of Interpretations* is \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n van de vele alfabetten die Guy Rombouts ontworpen en uitgevoerd heeft. Aan de basis van dit alfabet liggen oude Italiaanse muziektermen die achtereenvolgens met een a, een b, een c enz. beginnen: acuto, bizarro, coperto\u0026hellip; Uitzondering is de term *hot*, die ontleend is aan de Jazzmuziek. Elke muziekterm staat dus voor \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n van de letters van ons alfabet. De termen worden voorgesteld door een compositie van voorwerpen, die verwijst naar het aantal letters en de betekenis van de term. Fresco bijvoorbeeld bestaat uit zes letters en betekent fris en wordt uitgebeeld door een compositie van zes groenten, die in het Italiaans met de letters van fresco beginnen: finocchio (venkel), ravanello (radijs) enz. Steeds verwijst een combinatie van voorwerpen dus naar \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n van de termen. Deze voorwerpen staan opgesteld in de museumzalen, maar zijn ook terug te vinden op foto\u0026rsquo;s. Alleen bij het woord bizarro verschilt de afbeelding van de objecten die te zien zijn in de nieuwe opstelling. De kunstenaar opteert er namelijk voor om bij elke nieuwe opstelling van dit werk een nieuwe bizarre compositie te cre\u0026euml;ren.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":172,"name":"Guy Rombouts","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}},{"id":1575,"name":"Monica Droste","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
