SITUATION (1)
Hans Op de BeeckA moving camera takes us along an endless row of cash registers in a desolate supermarket. The cashiers are waiting behind their empty desks and it’s quiet as a mouse… The contrast between the inert location on the one side, chaotic and lively in normal circumstances, and the moving camera on the other, makes this absurd sequence into a kind of dream image...
NEDERLANDSE ARCHITECTUUR. HET NIEUWE BOUWEN 1920 - 1940
Jef CornelisA short reflection on Dutch architecture between 1920 and 1940, following and based on an exhibition in the van Abbe museum in Eindhoven. The period of the so-called ‘new building’, with such prominent figures as Rietveld Brinkman and Van der Vlugt, evolved around an architecture which took the critical issue of the living environment as a starting point...
HOMMAGE À … V
Lili DujourieThe five videos of Hommage à … deal with the same theme as repetition-in-difference, as a continual tracing and retracing, of the figure fold and unfold in the visual field. In Hommage à … V, there is a high set horizon, the idea that the woman is closer to us and farther to the right makes it easier for the viewer to step into the image...
DE KUNSTENAARS VLAKBIJ / LES ARTISTES À CÔTÉ
Jan Vromman“De Kunstenaars Vlakbij” (“The artists nearby”) is a series of portraits of unknown artists, produced on the occasion of the exhibition “De Eerste Trede” (“The First Stile”) at Argos Centre for Art & Media (2003).

THE NOTHING THAT IS…
Ken KoblandTHE NOTHING THAT IS, comes out of the environment of our streets, these days; the 'virtual', 'other reality' which inhabits them. In the midst endless mining and searching for data, for information, for what's hidden (conspiratorially) in the everyday... It's bounded by 2 quotes (always words, I need them, what else can i say). One from a Wallace Steven's poem and the other from Robert Frank...
CONFETTIS FOETUS MAN
Messieurs DelmotteA short video performance in which Monsieur Delmotte is packed in a plastic bag, like a foetus in the womb, filled with confetti. Starting with his left arm, he frees himself from the bag and the confetti. This work is part of the series Unidentified Emoticon...
VERSION ORIGINALE01
Joëlle de La Casinière - Michel BonnemaisonTwo Japanese actors read passages from ‘L’Empire des signes’ by Roland Barthes. His structural meditations on specific aspects of oriental culture – in this case specifically on the Japanese language and kitchen – are illustrated and substantiated by an entanglement of words, writing and image...
KAIROS
Alexis DestoopKairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the “right or opportune moment”. The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological time, the latter signifies “a time in between,” a break in the continuity of time, a moment in which something special happens...
LA FORCE FAIT L’UNION FAIT LA FORCE
Johan GrimonprezAn acceleration of a camera movement, a dancer and some racehorses. They all take the same rhythmic run to the climax. Johan Grimonprez sets up a sociological scrutinising of the universe of horse racing and unbridles it through its absurd angels. He comes up with a universe far removed from childhood when horses were associated with fairs and merry-go-rounds....
