Exposing Cinema

British Avant-Garde Film and Graphic Art

Joost van Veen

Matt Hulse

An investigation into the effect of a mysterious, irresistible power that takes in objects and materials. Slowly but surely, a huge kinetic and frightening machine emerges that can live independently as a personification of caste, plot, structure and soundtrack of the film. Exhibition in RAM.

The Harrachov Exchange

Dominique Petitgand

Piece for two voices, especially designed for the space, that is set between reality and fiction, listening and reading, music and words. Sound installation in Blaak 10.

Il y a, ensuite

Peter Sloterdijk

Gesa Mueller von der Haegen

Dierk Jordan

Ironic installation is a design for democracy as an export product: a mobile, transparent and self inflating building that can be used all over the world to house parliamentary meetings. An exhibition in the NAi.

Instant Democracy: The Pneumatic Parliament

Phil Collins

Participants in a Turkish reality TV show give a press conference about their experiences with the programme. The participants share for the first time their often bizarre and terrible experiences. The video is accompanied by a group photo of the participants and individual portraits. An exhibition in the Nederlands fotomuseum.

Return of the Real

Andrei Ujica

A debate between a media archaeologist/philosopher and a female journalist/writer about the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl.

Unknown Quantity

Koen Theys

Video loop of the biggest still life ever, with skulls, candles, books and thousands of living slugs, in a wooden construction that refers to Vanitas art, a form of still life that symbolises the brevity and transitory nature of life. Installation in the Kunsthal.
