Private View. Jef Cornelis on Art Events
In the spring of 2017 the contemporary art world is busy with the openings of documenta 14 in Kassel, The Venice Biennale – 57th International Art Exhibition in Venezia and 5e Skulptur Projekte Münster in Münster. Furthermore Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain organises its national pavillon with the project, curated by Kevin Muhlen, ‘Thank you so much for the flowers’ by Mike Bourscheid. On this occasion, Argos proposes three films directed by Jef Cornelis between 1966 and 1987 in which the Belgian director documents these three exhibitions. Jef Cornelis (1941) began his career in 1963 at the arts department of BRT (Flemish public television) as a television director. Between 1964 and 1998 he directed more than two hundred television programmes, including debates, live broadcasts, films on modern art, architecture, cultural affairs and the Flemish landscape.
