In a quiet farmhouse somewhere in the Dutch countryside, 90-year old Antonia begins the last day of her life. Lying peacefully in bed she recalls the day, shortly after the end of the Second World War, when she returned to the village where she was born. We then follow Antonia's tumultuous life in the village over the next 50 years. With the story of Antonia's life come those of her daughter Danielle, granddaughter Theresa, and the great granddaughter Sarah - Antonia's line - as well as the helper, soul mates, acquaintances, lovers and neighbouring villagers whom Antonia has gathered into her family over the years.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
