The clandestine in the work of Jef Cornelis comprises two essays about "hidden" messages in the television films Daniel Buren (Wide White Space Gallery, 1971), Sonsbeek beyond lawn and order (1971) and Landscape of churches (1989). Koen Brams considers Cornelis? explicit strategies to bring to light differences of opinion in the art world in the year 1971. He further shows that Cornelis avails himself of less explicit methods of operation to carry his point. Dirk P ltau analyses the covert elements of the soundtrack of the film Landscape of churches. What at first hearing seems a classical sound recording turns out, on further consideration, to contain a "demonic" message.

The book is accompanied by a DVD that holds three original films with English subtitles. 250 g.

Monografie; Het werk van Guy Mees is vooral bekend om zijn Verloren Ruimtes : ze komen tweemaal voor in de artistieke loopbaan, eenmaal vooraan de jaren 1960 als ultraviolet-neonlichtbakken overspannen met witte kant die opgehangen worden aan de muur of vrij opgesteld staan in de ruimte. ---- Guy Mees 1935 Mechelen / 2003 Antwerpen. // Guy Mees?s (1935?2003) photographs, videos, and above all his fragile works on paper are characterised by a formal rigour combined with sensitivity and delicacy. The uniqueness of his oeuvre lies precisely in its avoidance of conventional aesthetics and discursive classifications. A leading figure of the Belgian avant-garde, Mees left behind an outstanding body of work that transgresses geometric abstraction, Minimalism, Conceptualism, and applied art. 777 g.
