A night at the Museum

A night at the Museum, the gallery or whatever it is called.

During Museum night (Museumnacht) and Hoogtij in The Hague I became nearly without knowing part of the performance The Last Supper (Het laatste avondmaal) by Raul Ortega Ayala.
Eleven other participants and I (there was no Jesuschrist) sat and ate at a table in a Da Vinci setting and with the most probable menu from 2000 years ago in Palestina. All 3 hours were of course recorded on video. The edited video and the rest of the exhibition will be open next Saturday at Stroom at 5 pm.
Stroom, Hogewal 1-9, The Hague

The set.

The lamb was really good.

Food artist, literally.

Next to artist Raul Ortega Ayala at the center and to the right art critic Jose Springer.

And suddenly we were all friends.

First television convention, #2


(Mini)Re-enactment of The First Television Convention (1978) of Raul Marroquín (also) at The Jan van Eyck Academy (JVE) of Maastricht, only during the KunstTour this weekend. Mini in size, 50 instead of 250 televisions, intensity, insanity and time.


Recently, installation and performance revisionism has taken over the art institutions . With the Marina Abramovic's show at the MoMA as the best example. Curators, art historians and art philosophers have found a new way of trying to re-direct the art path.

One of the performance re-enactments.

Curator Lene ter Haar from B32, talking about the origins of the First Television Convention.

They are the new art-cheologists, recovering and studying dusty attics and archives, gathering old material, and finding new 'Mc-Luchanist' reasons to the art works of the 60's and 70's.
The Jan van Eyck Acadamy is honouring the founders of the former Agora Gallery of Maastricht (1972-1985) where many of the video, fluxus, art mail and performance artists started their professional careers.

Theo van der Aa from Agora.

Artist Raul Marroquin, gallerist Sandra Stevens and Ger van Dijckfrom from Agora.

Left: Artist Martha Hellion also an ex- JVE artist.

The JVE also published a great catalog of the findings of The Agora Archives by Marc Goethals.

Until Monday, also important works from the Agora archives including the Fandangos magazines.
