Tarantism

Joachim Koester

Tarantism is a contemporary re-enactment of the tarantella dance. The film, shot in black and white on 16 mm film in a studio in Brussels, examines the time when after being bitten by a poisonous tarantula spider, one tries to rid oneself of emotional or physical tension.

Dizziness — Navigating the Unknown

9 Feb 17 - 28 May 17

Can dizziness be a resource? What remains from states of precariousness, uncertainty, disorientation, intoxication or exhilaration? Particularly now, in these times of invocations of global crisis, these questions are more relevant than ever. The exhibition ‘Dizziness.

What would then be the role of the curator, and of the institution in general, in extreme situations where mobility is imperiled?
