Cahier de brouillons shows over 600 drawings selected from on ongoing archive by Belgian painter Werner Mannaers. 

Exhibition catalogue that turned out to be a true artist book made up of hundreds of b/w photographs taken by Tuerlinkx forming a radical walk-through of her exhibition 'Drawing Inventory' at the Drawing Center, New York (25.05–22.04.2006).

“Coopting the living museum as a found object and employing its empty forms - vitrines, labels, walls, and frames - to probe, measure, and reconfigure the relations between objects and people within the institutional setting, Tuerlinckx is a provocative operator.”

This book is written and illustrated by illustrator Karolien Vanderstappen. Mamamania is about all kinds of mothers. Giving them a characteristic name, Vanderstappen creates 12 new words existing in a fantastic word-mash, beautifully and humorously illustrated.

In 2008 CC Strombeek received the opportunity to present part of a unique private collection from Aken, with work of the famous German artist Gerhard Richter (°1932). The exhibition unfolded a panoramic view on Richter’s artistic production, from the sixties till now, and presented, amongst others, the important painting “Familie im Schnee” from 1966. 

This catalogue features as a retrospective of the exhibition Freestate (Ostend, 2006), which showed work by twenty young Belgian artists and one collective. The catalogue not only provides a visual overview of the works on display, it also displays a series of post factum reflections on the autonomy of art and the context of the exhibition such as: its relation to space and its boundaries, the state of Belgian art, the position of the artist in the current-day consumption and spectacle society, …The exhibition showed works by Sven Augustijnen, Virginie Bailly, Vaast Colson, Louis De Cordier, Koen De Decker, Stefaan, Geert Goiris, HAP, Peter Lagast, Lawrence Malstaf, Wesley Meuris, David Neirings, Benoît Platéus, Gert Robijns, Helmut Stallaerts, Koen van den Broek, Raphaël van Lerberghe, Pieter Vermeersch, Katleen Vermeir en Katrien Vermeire.
