Part seven in this series of short sketches, consists mainly of performances the artist gave in Belgium and abroad.

OOG EN HAND ALS UITDRUKKING 01

Jef Cornelis
For the art programme 'Openbaar Kunstbezit' Cornelis made two essayistic television reports in 1972 about the use of hands and eyes in the visual arts, “a way to look and to communicate.” With regard to its form, 'Oog en hand als uitdrukking 01' ('Eye and hand as expression 01') is very free, certainly bearing in mind the television standards of the time...
