BRASILIA

Robert Suermondt
It is astonishing to see to which degree the sequences of persons can look like real scenes of fiction. The inhabitants of Brasilia – most of them are officials – run around from one office to another without wearing a jacket. In their shirtsleeves they look like men of action. Showing them from a distance makes them look like small puppets placed in a scale model replica of the city...

LE BÉTON PARAÎT PLUS DOUX AU SOLEIL

Wiktoria Synak
Model City in Brussels is impressive because of its dimensions but the blackened blocks have something frightening to them as well. The idea of integrating multiple social groups in one newly constructed neighbourhood was presented by Fernand Brunfaut in 1958 during the Universal Exposition.

THE MANY THINGS SHOW

Koen Theys
This video is based on two sources: a late 60s theoretical text, written by conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth — and a seemingly endless stream of found internet images, invariably picturing one or more persons in the proximity of some loved object: holding it; standing close to it; locking at it...

IJSBREKER 14: LITERAIRE TIJDSCHRIFTEN

Jef Cornelis - Mark De Geest - Karel Schoetens - Jackie Claeys
During the beginning of the eighties there were about eighty different literary magazines in Flanders, even though in the overall picture renowned editors and authors were few and far between. This episode of ‘Ijsbreker’ came about following the creation of two new magazines from the ashes of the Nieuw Vlaams Tijdschrift: the Nieuw Wereldtijdschrift (NWT) and Diogenes...
