Über das ICH
(Willkür und Transzendenz)

[and a lot of fun]
The exhibition in the DAAD Galerie focuses on recent paintings,
drawings and a new film.
Standpunkt

Der Mensch, selbst.
Auf der einen Seite, das Positive, das Eine.
Auf der anderen Seite, das Negative, das Andere.
Auf der Höhe des Schambeins: Der Horizont.

Der Horizont,
mit der bewegten Sonne und der ruhenden Erde,
bestimmt das Bewusstsein,
die Perspektive der Dualitäten.
Oberhalb des Horizonts ist es hell und gut.
Unterhalb des Horizonts ist es dunkel und gefährlich.
Wo Licht Bewegung und Veränderung bringt, ist es gut.
Wo die Dinge still stehen, müssen wir uns selbst bewegen...

Über dem Horizont die Sonne, der Mond, die Sterne,
die unregelmäßig und doch in stetem Rhythmus kommen und gehen.
Doch unter dem Horizont lebt man voneinander.
Noch weiter weg schwelt unter den Füssen das Feuer.

Und sonst ist alles Druck.
Und Gegendruck.

AMVK. Berlin.2.6.6 (German translation by Verena Kuni)

Oh, the Sick Lady / Ah, the Sick Lady
(Explodes from Within)
The exhibition in Galerie Barbara Thumm and focuses on paintings,
drawings and computer films.
Ihre jüngste Ausstellung "Oh the sick Lady - Ah the sick Lady (Explodes
from Within)" vereint die sicherlich persönlichste Werkgruppe der
Antwerpener Künstlerin und entstand während eines einjährigen
DAAD-Stipendiums in Berlin. Die Erfahrung der räumlichen Distanz hat
starken Niederschlag in den neuen Arbeiten gefunden: in den vier
präsentierten Leuchtkästen sind die Innenräume nun nicht mehr Bühnen
zur Entfaltung abstrakter Gedankenwelten, sondern psychogrammatische
Architektur, in die sich die Befindlichkeiten der Künstlerin
wortwörtlich einschreiben.
(excerpt from press text by Astrid Mania)

Chapter of Opening the Mouth of Time
Is a a non-stop digital vortex for which AMVK intercuts the images of
her AntiSade Press Calendar for 2007 with 365 snapshots, more images,
notes, words and things from her DAAD-residence in Berlin.
When I was about 40 I made a book, sort of an agenda, that I called
"Belgian Spleen". Therein I selected thoughts and notes from the past
15 years (1975-1991). I catalogued those writings according to the days
of the year they appeared to me. This I did to see if certain thoughts
reoccur and evolute related to the seasons. This to find more insight
in my inner chaos, where thoughts are hormonally steered, and that is
not only a female reality. I know that thoughts are matter, in an other
mode of existence. They transform and morph themselves with what enters
as daily information, together with what reverberates in memory and
thesubconscious.

That is also the reason why I repeat the words every month on the same
day in "Chapter of Opening the Mouth of Time". To use the arbitrarity
of language and name-giving as a nutritive element. As a living element
indeed, because every time you see a word reappearing in an other
context, at a likely moment in time, something moves on in the brain.
That brain tries to intercept a story and a dimension that intrigues.
That story and that dimension make the spectator move on. On that
moment I also happen to become a spectator. Whilst working I see that
this mode of operating parries every moralistic prejudice, which is
right away the creative part of the venture.

"Chapter of Opening the Mouth of Time" is also available as a daily
blog.
Website AMVK in Berlin
All this information is also available in extended form on a special
website about AMVK in Berlin which will be frequently updated.

also included some tips about flights, trains & buses to Berlin, as
well as hotels and apartments for short terms.
