Pietmondriaan.com presents: I want to believe
‘I want to believe’
A performance evening during Incubate 2012, with Bas Schevers (NL), David Sherry (UK), Jean-Charles de Quillacq (F), Jodi (NL) and Pablo Wendel (D), curated by pietmondriaan.com
The performances in this exhibition are drawn from everyday situations.
While appearing to be simple, sometimes even inconspicuous acts, they attempt to show the absurd, tragi-comical sides of daily life. The artists invite us to follow their lead and believe in their stories – or not.
‘I want to believe’ will take place on Saturday the 15th of September, 19.30hrs at NS16, NS-plein 16 in Tilburg. See you there!

Stills from ‘Living with a log’ (1998) by Hugh Pocock (video on his website)
Pocock found a huge tree trunk and brought it home, where it ran through the center of his house like a spine, and he and his family lived with it.

Ending of Martin Arnold‘s ‘Alone. Life wastes Andy Hardy’ (1998)
“The cinema of Hollywood is a cinema of exclusion, reduction and denial, a cinema of repression. There is always something behind that which is being represented, which was not represented. And it is exactly that that is most interesting to consider.” – Martin Arnold
