FACE OF THE EARTH
Vito AcconciThe face of the artist is filmed in extreme close-up, from his chin to the top of his head. Filling the screen, Acconci’s head comprises the theatre for a crumbly narrative about a personal past. His actions and words serve as a metaphor for the mythical American landscape; his personal memories likewise tell of a collective drama – the early days of recent American history...

RINGO GRINGO
Peter FinnemoreA fix camera films some bushes, but in the middle of the image a mirror reflects what's going on behind the camera. Finnemore moves slowly forward and lights up a firecracker, then he points it straight in front of him and the bullets hit the mirror: like in several other videos, Finnemore criticizes in a funny and playful way all sort of violence....

PIETER ENGELS, PARAMARCHE (REVERSE EVENT)
Jef CornelisCornelis prefers to make use of the medium of television to show a work by the Amsterdam artist Pieter Engels in its conceptual form, in stead of supplying a typical purely sterile and pedantic framework. Similar to his other work from the 1960s and 1970s, Engels focuses on tiny, everyday things, creating confusion by questioning expectations and preconditions...
DYPTIQUE
Angel VergaraAngel Vergara’s Diptyque juxtaposes the position of two public figures with the mass media: Pasolini denouncing its standardising effect, its flattening of Italian society into sterile conformity (including the conformity in contestation), Berlusconi in control of the national media, but in the end powerless to govern...
LADY LIQUE
Marc MeertA recording of the installation ‘Vertus Publiques, Vices Privés’ by Diana Bobolou, as part of an exhibition in the Fine Arts Academy in St.Josse-ten-Noode. What might seem at first sight like the working environment and daily ritual of a prostitute is in fact merely an artificial installation in an exhibition environment....
LES ONDES DE LOVE
Edith DekyndtA flag made of 20 meters of black cloth, standing on the desert plateau of an active volcano, waves generated as if the mast movement of the fabric, forming a wave. When conditions are most favorable, the movement becomes sinusoidal and visually approximates the seismic waves discovered by the British mathematician Augustus Edward Hough Love (1863-1940)....
FLABBY CAT
Messieurs DelmotteA short video performance in which Monsieur Delmotte stands in a prairie and lifts a cat two times by its scruff. This work is part of the series Unidentified Emoticon...
