As for the title of the exhibition, “I borrowed it from Thomas
Pynchon’s latest novel,” says Tuymans. “Pynchon is the man who
introduced paranoia in American literature. His The Crying of Lot 49

the idea of tearing down utopia is present in all of his work.” ...

The painting Against the Day will serve as the title motif for an
exhibition by the same name, which I’m planning for next year
(scheduled to open on 23 April 2009 at the Kunsthalle Wiels in
Brussels). I adopted the title Against the Day from a book by Thomas
Pynchon (2006). Thomas Pynchon is my favourite American author and one
of the inventors of paranoia in American literature....
