Second World War. Marie is a 30-year-old housewife. Acting by solidarity, she will help her neighbour Lucie to get rid of an unpleasant burden. But due to the tough times people go through, this soon becomes the real job of Marie: husbands, prisoners of war, one night stand liaisons, or even guilty relations with soldiers from the German Army, Marie gets caught up in the mess, and procures abortion against money. In June 1943, Marie the abortionist is sentenced to death by Criminal Court. On the 31st of July that same year, the knife of guillotine will execute one of the last women condemned to death in France.
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.
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.
