Preciado, as well as elements of a soundscape made with musician Perez, a long-time collaborator and co-conspirator for 'Exotourisme', a video and film installation developed for the Centre Pompidou in 2002 which later led to a collaborative musical project.

Approaching from the park, visitors will first come across a statue in remembrance of the coming alien developed together with writer and philosopher Paul B. Conceived of specifically for Serpentine, the exhibition will feature almost entirely new work situated both inside and outside the gallery. In Alienarium 5, Gonzalez-Foerster imagines possible encounters with extra-terrestrials through speculative, performative and visual fiction.

A series of paintings covering a period from 1994 to 2021 accompanies the presentation providing the context in which some of the films were made. The sound and image of the different films interact with each other, fragments forming together a whole, allegories translating the complexity of a sometimes harsh reality. The installation in the Pavilion invites the visitor to walk through a labyrinth of screens as if they were in the middle of a global playground. Filming without interfering in the games, Alÿs reveals the hidden rules of playing, the ingenious interaction of the children with their environment, their deep complicity and their hopeful mood and joy. The films were shot during Alÿs’ recent travels to Hong Kong, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Belgium, Switzerland and Mexico. The exhibition curated by Hilde Teerlinck, will feature a selection of new short films related to his series of children’s games, a body of work started in 1999 which has gained a central position in his practice. (Image: Manon de Boer, Caco, João, Mava and Rebecca (From nothing to something to something else, part 2), 2019, HD video, color, sound, 48 minutes, film still)įrancis Alÿs is presenting The Nature of the Game in the Belgian Pavilion (Flemish Community) as part of the 59th Venice Biennale, from 23 April to 27 November 2022. The three films are presented along with The Untroubled Mind (2016) in which de Boer observes and films her son’s playful constructions at home over a period of 3 years, setting the duration of each shot at 20 seconds, the length of time one can film with a Bolex 16mm camera when winding it manually. All three films explore the time span between the already and the not yet, the time of potentiality. The artist does not give them any systematized scenario or instructions for producing the work but simply invites them to play music, dance and spend time together. The exhibition will present the series From Nothing to Something to Something Else (2018–2019) which features a group of young adults between the ages of sixteen and twenty. Manon de Boer's solo show Down Time will take place at Kunsthal Aarhus (DK) from 3 June till 7 August 2022.
