HET GOUDEN KALF / LE VEAU D'OR
Jan Vromman“Het Gouden Kalf” (“The Golden Calf”) is the report of a performance held in 2002. During the “Top of Laeken”, an anti-globalist manifestation in Brussels, the Golden Calf - a sculpture on a carrying board in true size - was carried in a procession to the European Parliament. The Golden Calf is, of course, the symbol for the adoration of power and money...

NACHTKOORTS
Frank Theys"Night fever" is a portrait of a character with anxiety disorder. The installation is inspired on the story The Cave by Franz Kafka. It’s depicting a secluded man, locked up in his own world he cultivates his fear. Leaving his apartment he tentatively reaches out for help...
TEST
Pascal BaesThese experiments for Baes’s stop motion film ‘46 bis, rue de Belleville’ are an art work in its own right. The stop motion technique he uses belongs to the realm of animation. He never handles the camera in an obvious way, but shoots frame per frame in order to come up with a dreamlike staccato effect...
LA CHAMELLE BLANCHE
Xavier ChristiaensWhat if Ulysses, returning from his travels, had found only indecipherable shreds, shards, dark and shifting landscapes, splintered vestiges of his past? A disturbing disorder reigns all around, putting eyes and ears in a constant state of expectation, prisoners of these fragments of a reality so gripping, obtuse, impossible to avoid and yet misleading, fleeing and opaque...
SPAZIERGAENGER MIT HUND - SONSBEEK 86
Jef CornelisA report on the art manifestation of Sonsbeek 86, falling back on the sense of security of the park. These natural surroundings had an atmosphere not unlike that of a museum. Some of the works had been positioned ’out in the open’ in the park. Most of the objects, however, could be considered in specifically designed glass pavilions...

DÉLIRIUM VIDÉO 8
Jacques LennepFinal part in this series of short sketches, that often consist of recordings of performances. Somewhere in between slapstick, conceptual performance and philosophy, Lennep pays in between the lines homage to well-known and very influential artists of the 20th century. In this part he comments also on the state of Belgium performing with a black rooster (symbol of Wallonia)....
EXPO CHAMPÊTRE
Koen TheysA white monitor, a white table and chair. The viewer can go and sit in front of the screen. Images out of the oeuvre of the artist appear and move by slowly in a perfect white landscape as if they were floating in a vacuum. Buses, cottages, a table, trees, lighting posts, groups of tourists with their cameras ready, a doorknob. The objects move along in an endless procession...
