The Hitchcock Castings (E)
Originele nieuwprijs: € 38
KORTE INHOUD
Alfred Hitchcock's legendary cameos in his own films are the starting point for Looking for Alfred, a highly acclaimed project by Belgian artist Johan Grimonprez (*1962). This homage to the Master of Suspense also proves to have an equal amount of reverence for the world of images created by Surrealist painter Ren? Magritte.nnOver three hundred color illustrations, including sketches and collages, document how this film installation was created. As in Dial History, Grimonprez's noteworthy 1997 media collage, Looking for Alfred also plays with various levels of reality, with simulations and deceptions. With a mind-boggling crowd of Hitchcock look-alikes the artist deftly deconstructs our usual notions of reality.nnExhibition schedule: Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, April 10-August 19, 2007 ? S.M.A.K. Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Ghent ? Additional venues planned
