Lecture by Koen Brams in the framework of Landmark Exhibitions: Contemporary Art Shows Since 1968
– A symposium, curated by Antony Hudek, at Tate Modern (London), Friday 10 October 2008, 10.30–20.30 h. and Saturday 11 October 2008, 10.30–19.00 h.

Koen Brams – director Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, and specialised in the work of Flemish filmmaker and producer Jef Cornelis – will present and discuss Cornelis' televised documentation of landmark exhibitions from the 1960s to today. Brams will analyse the various (and variously successful) strategies Cornelis employs to register the visitor's physical experience of complex contemporary art exhibitions such as Documenta and Sonsbeek; to portray the artist in the exhibition, primarily by means of the interview; to re-script exhibitions through filmic tropes.
Response and Q&A: Eric de Bruyn (University Lecturer, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen).
