WILLI TOBLER UND DER UNTERGANG DER 6. FLOTTE

Alexander Kluge
After Der große Verhau (1971), Willi Tobler und der Untergang der 6. Flotte (Willi Tobler and the Decline of the 6th Fleet) is another unusual science fiction tale by Alexander Kluge. Shot on a deliberately low budget and stylistically intended to evoke the cinema of Georges Méliès, Willi Tobler und der Untergang der 6...

CARTOON FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A CERTAIN FONDNESS FOR IDEAS, BUT ARE TIRED OF THINKING

Steve Reinke
Simple line drawings form and wriggle against a light purple background, each linked to a verbal proposal. “Every door eventually leads to the world, but we have no doors.” The interstices between words, scribbles and desire explored....

TOUCH

Shelly Silver
A man returns, after fifty years, to Chinatown to care for his dying mother. He is a librarian, a cataloguer and recorder, a gay man, a watcher, an impersonator. He passes his time collecting images - his witnesses and collaborators. Sitting in the dark, we look at them and share his cloak of invisibility, both a benefit and a curse. TOUCH is an essay narrated from one man's point of view...

SIX MONITEURS À LA UNE

Alain Géronnez
In this installation with six screens, Géronnez follows the principle of the collage: the six screens alternately show incoherent images that fade into images which together constitute a landscape. The focus is on the green, Western European landscape, an image the artist himself films, but he also adopts it from for example drawings by Hergé...

I LOVE SALVA SANCHIS

Marc Vanrunxt - Robert Cash
Next to a road, with the sound of cars and the roaring wind, the dancer Salva Sanchis performs a delicate, almost dreamlike series of movements. Dancing in his robe and on his bare feet, it seems we are witnessing a creature from another time and place....

ROCKY TIGER

Claude Delfosse - Jacques Charlier
Charlier recorded this video in collaboration with Claude Delfosse. In an office they interview an employee, who worked with Charlier for eight years at the STP. The man expresses his wish to be a musician. To do Charlier a favor, he performs together with his band and sings a song by Elvis Presley....

Claude Cattelain
While holding his camera on top of his head Cattelain spins around....

SANGAM

Charley Case
Applying image analogies, and flecked throughout by an Indian mythology featuring Biblical allure. A sail down the Ganges is described in a filmic way: one lets himself drift along on a raft, the other walks along the riverbank, their gazes locked. An introspective journey....

ONTMOETING MET DESIGN + HEDENDAAGSE BRITSE GRAFIEK

Jef Cornelis
In 1971 a furniture shop in Mechelen organized the exhibition 'Ontmoeting met Design' ('Meeting Design'), a group exhibition with chairs and seats designed by Le Corbusier, Michaël Thonet, Gerrit Rietveld, Marcel Breuer and others. The exhibition was intended to make some of the 19th and 20th-century classics of design more popular with the general public...
