Even before the founding of the ICC he was a pioneer of neo-avant-garde art, both at his ambitious Modernist Centre and in his interdisciplinary magazine *De Tafelronde* (‘Round Table’). The ICC devoted the retrospective [*20 jaar de tafelronde 1953/1973*](http://ensembles.mhka.be/events/20-jaar-de-tafelronde-1953-1973) to this magazine in 1975 . It was through De Vree that it became clear that the ICC was also attentive to its own immediate prehistory.\r\n\r\nDe Vree was important to the arts in his role as a critic and organiser of exhibitions, but presented himself above all in the areas of [audio - visual](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/audio-visuele-poezie-audio-visual-poetry), [concrete](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/concrete-poezie-concrete-poetry), [visual poetry](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/visuele-poezie-visual-poetry) and [Poesia Visiva](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/poesia-visiva), peripheral areas of visual art which the M HKA wants to document. De Vree created images out of poetic, social and existential insights that could be visualised on a constantly changing range of supports. He was closely linked to the Italian Poesia Visiva group and was the curator of the final, future-oriented section of the exhibition [*?Klankteksten, konkrete poëzie, visuele teksten*](http://ensembles.mhka.be/events/klankteksten-konkrete-poezie-visuele-teksten) on concrete poetry at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1970 (which was also shown at the ICC a year later).\r\n\r\nThe title, Neon Light, is a reference to the column of that name in the magazine De Tafelronde, in which De Vree cast a critical light on avant-garde publications from Belgium and abroad. The ensemble includes documents, publications and work by Paul De Vree and shows the sizeable network that built up around him.\r\n\r\nThis presentation is part of a research project by the art historian Johan Pas."},{"locale":"nl","name":null,"short_description":"","description":"*My personal view on poetry is an evolutive one: experiment in progress and as far as possible different disciplines in fusion.

Nog vóór de oprichting van het ICC was hij een pionier op het vlak van de neo-avant-garde kunst, zowel met zijn ambitieus Modernistisch Centrum als met zijn interdisciplinair tijdschrift *De Tafelronde*. Aan dit tijdschrift wijdde het ICC in 1975 een retrospectieve met de titel [*20 jaar de tafelronde 1953/1973*](http://ensembles.mhka.be/events/20-jaar-de-tafelronde-1953-1973). De Vree is de figuur waarmee duidelijk wordt dat het ICC ook aandacht had voor zijn eigen onmiddellijke voorgeschiedenis.\r\n\r\nDe Vree was belangrijk voor de kunsten in zijn functie als criticus en organisator van tentoonstellingen, maar profileerde zichzelf vooral binnen de [audio - visuele](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/audio-visuele-poezie-audio-visual-poetry), de [concrete](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/concrete-poezie-concrete-poetry), de [visuele poëzie](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/visuele-poezie-visual-poetry) en de [Poesia Visiva](http://ensembles.mhka.be/ensembles/poesia-visiva), randgebieden van de beeldende kunst die het M HKA wil documenteren. De Vree maakte beelden van poëtische, maatschappelijke en existentiële inzichten die op steeds wisselende dragers konden verschijnen. Hij was nauw verbonden met de Italiaanse Poesia Visiva en was curator van het laatste, toekomstgerichte hoofdstuk van de tentoonstelling [*?Klankteksten, konkrete poëzie, visuele teksten*](http://ensembles.mhka.be/events/klankteksten-konkrete-poezie-visuele-teksten) over concrete poëzie in het Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1970(die een jaar later ook in het ICC te zien was).\r\n\r\nDe titel Neonlicht verwijst naar de gelijknamige rubriek in het tijdschrift *De Tafelronde* waarin De Vree een kritisch licht liet schijnen op avant-gardepublicaties uit binnen- en buitenland. Het ensemble toont documenten, publicaties en werk van Paul De Vree en brengt het omvangrijke netwerk rondom deze kunstenaar in beeld.

Avant la création de l’ICC, il est déjà un pionnier en matière de néo-avant-garde, tant avec son ambitieux Centre moderniste qu’avec sa revue interdisciplinaire *De Tafelronde*. En [1975](http://ensembles.mhka.be/events/20-jaar-de-tafelronde-1953-1973), l’ICC consacre une rétrospective à la revue. À travers la figure de De Vree, l’ICC se penche alors de toute évidence sur ses propres antécédents immédiats.\r\n\r\nSi De Vree jouait un rôle prépondérant dans le monde des arts en tant que critique et organisateur d’exposition, il opérait surtout au sein de la poésie concrète et visuelle, un domaine en marge des arts plastiques dont le M HKA souhaite conserver une documentation. De Vree créait des images à partir de notions et de concepts poétiques, sociaux et existentiels qui pouvaient apparaître sur des supports chaque fois différents. Il était très lié à Poesia Visiva italienne et était le commissaire du dernier volet, résolument tourné vers l’avenir, de l’exposition [*?Klankteksten, konkrete poëzie, visuele teksten*](http://ensembles.mhka.be/events/klankteksten-konkrete-poezie-visuele-teksten) sur la poésie concrète au Stedelijk Museum à Amsterdam en 1970, et qui fut présentée l’année suivante à Anvers, à l’ICC.\r\n\r\nLe titre Neonlicht, fait référence à la rubrique du même nom que De Vree tenait dans la revue De Tafelronde et dans laquelle il portait un regard critique sur les publications d’avant-garde, nationales et internationales.
