SMALL BELLS
Messieurs DelmotteTwo tiny bells appear and disappear in the frame, loudly jingling. But to what body part of Messieurs Delmotte are they connected? This piece was created in the ‘Century of the 20th Sex’ series....
THE NAMES HAVE CHANGED, INCLUDING MY OWN, AND TRUTHS HAVE BEEN ALTERED
Onyeka IgweThis is a story of the artist’s grandfather, the story of the ‘land’ and the story of an encounter with Nigeria—retold at a single point in time, in a single place. The artist is trying to tell a truth in as many ways as possible...
ANTENNA SIESTA
Charley Case“Duality becomes unity, symbolised by a spherical shape” (Charley Case). Antenna Siesta shows 9 sphere-inhabitants. One of them is Diogenes in his barrel. Is his foolishness/wisdom linked to the spherical shape of his habitat?...
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Cel Crabeels‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ is a close-up of a whistling mouth, from a steady camera point and without narrative structure. It is a 1-hour attempt at improvisation on the theme song of the film with the same name. An obsessive image and sound, it etches itself into one’s perception.

BEAVER SKULL MAGICK
Steve ReinkeTwo sections. In the first, the notorious internet video, Shake the Bear, in which a woman shoots and kills from a tree a bear and has sex on the body, is described and commented shot by shot.

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?). In this third episode, the answer – which also serves as title – is “when a cartoon moves into politics”. As a caricature as such has a critical function, the act of drawing can always be made to fit some political stance...
THE DEAD WEIGHT OF A QUARREL HANGS
Walid RaadA videotape in three parts exploring the possibilities and limits of writing and imaging a history of the Lebanese civil wars (1975-1991). Setting up the viewer Ra’ad constructs a tape fictionally based on facts, but not necessarily his, they are hysterical symptoms of sorts that present imaginary events constructed out of innocent and everyday material...
THERE
Peter DownsbroughJust over two minutes long, THERE enfolds key components of Peter Downsbrough’s multiform practice: the visual vocabulary, formal strategies, and enduring themes found in his books, sculptures, architectural interventions (room pieces and wall pieces), photographs, postcards, and many of his other videos...
