Hans Theys is a twentieth-century philosopher and art historian. He has written and designed dozens of books on the works of contemporary artists and published hundreds of essays, interviews and reviews in books, catalogues and magazines. All his publications are based on actual collaborations and conversations with artists.

This platform was developed by Evi Bert (M HKA / Centrum Kunstarchieven Vlaanderen) in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp (Research group Archivolt), M HKA, Antwerp and Koen Van der Auwera. We also thank Idris Sevenans (HOR) and Marc Ruyters (Hart Magazine).

(cfr. gesprek met Hans Theys, 17.06.2014; Paradox? met veel ballonnen, kondigt Pepto Bismo aan van 20 - 30 jaar later, schroeven die de lucht in de zeilen blazen = paradox want gaat eigenlijk niet voorruit, gaat ook niet bij een boot)
