STROLLING AROUND
SCREENING - BLACK BOX
Special Screening! Argos Nocturne on Wednesday 5th of December 2018
Beyond the many different ways of walking – like for instance the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature ramble – this selection of films from the Argos collection explores the act of walking as an artistic practice. Starting from the early 70ies with the collaborative films by Jef Cornelis realized together with the conceptual artists Stanley Brouwn and Pieter Engels or the “untalented stroll” made by Lizène, through the socially engaged walks of Angel Vergara or Vincent Meessen, the program proposes an eclectic view on a practice that has a certain tradition in the art and cinema of the 20th century. In this respect, Lukas Marxt plays with narratives and perspectives, human footsteps and bird's eye camera views, while the film by Shelly Silver can be both seen as an observation on the boundaries of private space in the public realm but also as an homage to Vito Acconci, Sophie Calle, Laurie Anderson, and all other artists who have felt compelled to follow. Finally the amusing yet intriguing recorded actions by Messieurs Delmotte and Ria Pacquée force the viewer to closely observe what would have otherwise been neglected.
