ASK THE INSECTS
Steve ReinkePart home-made science (before it became doctrine), part animated video reverie, Reinke’s brief and episodic compression is an incendiary release which opens by announcing the death of the reader, of any audience capable of pulling its fragments together, or better, of dissolving into its tissues, of allowing the body to change shape, to identify, for instance, with an insect. Or a stone....
BABULIA [SECOND CHAPTER OF INSTALLATION, ENGLISH VERSION]
Nora Martirosyan"Two chapters, two time periods, one story.

This project, this analysis is referred to as dream work. It assumes latent though is transformed by the processes of condensation and displacement into the manifest content of the dream...

Buses, cottages, a table, trees, lighting posts, groups of tourists with their cameras ready, a doorknob. The objects move along in an endless procession...
KUNST ALS KRITIEK. WANNEER IS KUNST WEL KRITIEK? 3. WANNEER EEN CARTOON AAN POLITIEK DOET
Jef CornelisThis film is part of a series of short thematic sketches focusing on the question Wanneer is Kunst Wel Kritiek? (When is Art Criticism?).
