TENTATIVE À CONTRAINDRE LE CORPS À S'INSCRIRE DANS LE CADRE DE L'IMAGE
Jacques LizèneSince 1965, the self-declared “Little master from Liege from the second half of the 20th and the first half of the 21st Century, artist of mediocrity” produces and reproduces his work, continuously underlining self-irony, failure, and the absurd.

On the other hand, 2006, the circumstantial story of this arrest related by the old woman, affectionally known as Baboulia, who was a very young girl in the 1930ies...

Anne-Mie Van KerckhovenWhen visiting Uluru, the large sandstone rock in Australia, Van Kerckhoven asked Danny Devos to lay down naked on his stomach with his legs open, a piece of wood tied between his ankles, his hands tied behind his back...
AS SOL TO EVA
Teresa CosThe appropriation of the famous letter that Sol LeWitt wrote in 1965 to artist and friend Eva Hesse is at the center of this work. In what seems to be a Skype conversation with a distant friend -wearing a t-shirt printed with LeWitt’s hand drawing as it appears on the manuscript- the letter becomes a two way pep talk in the mouth of an online oracle...
