THE BREATHING LESSON
Dora GarcíaAlthough Dora Garcia (°1965, Valladolid, Spain) produces work that is mostly performative and installation-based, video is used as a means to question the boundaries between representation and reality.

Eva Claus Any way
ANY WAY
Eva ClausAny Way shows three people running together on an athletics track. The repetitive motion introduces the rhythm to a serene trance.

OOG EN HAND ALS UITDRUKKING 02
Jef CornelisFor 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.” Once more, 'Oog en hand als uitdrukking 02' ('Eye and hand as expression 02') is particularly free with regard to its format, bearing in mind the television standards of the time...
