Man who measures the clouds

While a head that doesn't stop hurting and thinking races through the internet, sometimes nice thoughts really lead to something...
And suddenly I wanted to show this piece of art. Probalby after surfing on Badhairsboy site and seeing some other stuff elsewhere

Found an interesting link on Belgian Contemporary art.
Discussing: "Belgium has no identity." Some of the issues behind this statement involve the complexity of the Belgian government--involving at least six different governmental bureaucracies, as well as the cultural community---with two different official languages spoken.

The Belgian artists, in contrast, seem to be gathering bits of the everyday world to put into the viewers space--as a way of re-presenting existing reality

It is a funny remark, because my camera obscura is doing the same thing. And I am surprised to read that Ann Veronica Janssens did a similar thing with "Corps Noir 2000"

The experience of a visitor can be read here Something I should read and reread again and again...

An interview with Jan Fabre here and one in Dutch on the search for Utopia here
