‘My Most Favourite Art’ (2004 – 2009)
My Most Favourite Art’ is an installation made of exhibition plates, which Maria Anwander has stolen and collected from different galeries and museums since 2004. Only criterion for the theft of a plate is her fascination for the work which belongs to it.

Pied la Biche
‘Refait’ (2009) by Pied la Biche.
‘Refait’ is a remake of the football WorldCup match between France and Germany (Seville, Spain, 1982). Shot by Pied La Biche in Villeurbanne (France), every aspect of the fifteen last minutes of the match was carefully reconstructed : players, positions, gestures, intensity, drama etc. It consists in shifting the traditional game area into the urban environment. Each sequence takes place in one or several locations and then the city temporarily becomes the lab for unsual experiments.

‘Deep Play’ (2007) by Harun Farocki.
‘Deep Play’ brings together 12 different perspectives on one of the biggest broadcasting events ever – the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany, seen by an estimated 1.5 billion viewers worldwide. The screens combine the artist’s own footage, FIFA footage, digital analyses and 2D and 3D animation sequences, so that we see the event from unexpected viewpoints.

Sjaak Langenberg, ‘Mental expansion of Schiphol Airport’ (1999)
The school canteen of Cals College in the Dutch town of IJsselstein was connected live, at varying times each day, with the announcement headquarters of Amsterdam Airport, Schiphol. This audio art-work was provoked by the link between noise pollution around Schiphol airport and the Lopik broadcasting mast, which causes IJsselstein particular nuisance.
