Making video in the streets of Brussels:
Call for participation to workshop by Karin Schneider from 15 to 19 March on appointment:

Trying to exercise our eyes to perceive an underground order out of sight...

we will be walking on the streets, we will be seeing art in museums, having coffee at cafes, buying books at bookstores... a film with/out a camera. How can we break apart from this live experience, this gestalt experience of the fore/ground that generates the space of a "good form", a space of a "good gestalt"? a space of déjà vu in our western culture?

Reality or Symbolism

For Aristotle, "Every politician is an artist... It's not easy to fool a nation without art, but every artist is not a politician." The relation between art and politics can create a feeling of emptiness since art is able to denounce or make problems visible, but can never function as a potent political device. This emptiness has a relevance to the society in which the work of art is created or shown. How can a work of art transcend into a political field? Much of the art produced that is linked directly with politics, becomes an ideological social device, whilst the remainder function as simple representations that operate upon the imagination of the viewer rather than within the realm of a social reality.
