The Group Show Dilemma (2006)

Joachim Hamou

12min30

OV/E

How would a progressive and perhaps ideal group-show look like (in 2005)?  That was the question a group of artists and an art-critic asked themselves. The dilemma was that we can’t live with the current state of the group-show, but we can’t live without it either. No model for group-shows make sense anymore. So how can we overcome this resignation? Giving up would leave us with only solo exhibitions and that might, in the long run, be a bit unimaginative

Framer Framed (2021)

Ramaya Tegegne

27min

OV/F/e

A group of Black filmmakers and actors are reenacting the board meeting of a community cinema. A letter of complaint has been addressed to the cinema. It revives the tensions about the appropriate behavior towards a group of Black men who occupies the lobby of the building
during the day, while the cinema is showing a film about the situation of these
undocumented workers. This letter is asking how the institution is really committed
to social change beyond the films they screen?
