How to Be Many Over and Over Again

How to Be Many Over and Over Again is a series of nomadic student film screenings and exhibitions. This project is curated by Max Ferguson and Emily Walter, two young curators and former student-filmmakers, who aim to give a second life to student works by integrating them into the cultural programming of Brussels. Walter and Ferguson present this city as a playground for new voices in the audiovisual field due to its chimeric qualities and starting point for many students working with moving image. For the first edition, How to Be Many finds its temporary home in De Markten for an exhibition of video and sound installations from three young artists.

Lisa Longworth’s Blossoms Of Obedience brings the result of a year of collecting smiles. In a self-reflexive environment, Longworth makes explicit the power games latent in body language and social acceptability. Niko Wei’s installation, Une Lettre à Liam, is a gift to his brother. Wei unabashedly puts an intimate moment out in the open, placing the audience in a secondary role where they can take away as much or as little as they like. Maurice Luijten brings us with α Ori into a space where the past and the cosmos resonate together through sound. Luijten takes us on the 640-year journey of Betelgeuse’s light from the Battle of Roosebeeke back to us in the now.

Opening: Sep 20 18.00-21.00
Expo: Sep 21-22 12.00-18.00 & Sep 23-24 10.00-20.00

How to Be Many Over and Over Again springs from the public programme of Herman Asselberghs’ exhibition Time Wasted which ran at argos centre for audiovisual arts.
