KUNST ALS KRITIEK. WANNEER IS KUNST WEL KRITIEK? 4. WANNEER DE KUNSTENAAR IN ALLE ERNST SPEELT [BRT VERSION]

Jef Cornelis
This film is part of a series of short sketches thematic focusing on the question Wanneer is Kunst Wel Kritiek? (When is Art Criticism?). For this fourth episode, the answer – which also serves as title – is “when the artist is toying around in all seriousness”. How can it happen? 'Many a true word is spoken in jest' seems to tell us the Belgian artist Jef Geys (°1934)...

TABLE TABLE

Joëlle Tuerlinckx
Example of a “film-poème de travail” realised in the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne. A “work poem” (poème de travail) is (about) a moment in the life of the work. Usually the following happens: while holding the camera (and filming) with one hand I do something else with my other hand, e.g. counting boxes...

VICTORIA

Lukas Marxt
The hypnotic wasteland of Southern California (USA) is infused with the free-spirited nature of Easy Rider, the alienation and uprootedness of Michelangelo Antonioni, and the deep transcendence of Werner Herzog.

RIJKSWEG N1

Jef Cornelis
Rijksweg 1 (State Highway 1) links up Antwerp to Brussels over Mechelen (Malines). Before the motorway came, there was some really heavy traffic. Now the highway is abandoned. Jef Cornelis picks out a straight piece, between Kontich and Walem. “A highway which lost its way. A road of today. A road acting as a location. It makes out the landscape, its own landscape all by itself...
